Pollinator biodiversity loss occurs at unprecedented rates globally, with particularly sharp
declines documented in the North Temperate Zone. There is currently no consensus on the …

There exists substantial variation in the qualitative and quantitative interpretations of the
concept of geodiversity and its embedded elements and values. The resulting divergence …

Geodiversity—the variability of Earth's surface materials, forms, and physical processes—is
an integral part of nature and crucial for sustaining ecosystems and their services. It provides …

Geodiversity assessment is recent and is passing through a stage of methodological
development and consolidation. With rapid environmental change, improving the …

Biodiversity offsetting involves the balancing of biodiversity loss in one place (and at one
time) by an equivalent biodiversity gain elsewhere (an outcome referred to as No Net Loss) …

Non-living and living nature are inherently connected. Geodiversity, which consists of the
variation in geology, soils, topography, geomorphology and hydrology, is seen as the …

Climate change presents challenges for the management of geoheritage at all scales from
individual geosites to whole landscapes, and affecting all areas of the planet. Direct impacts …

Abstract Acknowledgement by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
that geodiversity is part of natural diversity and geoheritage is part of natural heritage should …

As most regions of the earth transition to altered climatic conditions, new methods are
needed to identify refugia and other areas whose conservation would facilitate persistence …

As a parallel to the “biodiversity hotspot” concept used in conservation biology,“geodiversity
hotspots” can be defined as geographic areas that harbor very high levels of geodiversity …
