Geodiversity–the abiotic heterogeneity of Earth's (sub) surface–is gaining recognition for its
ecological links to biodiversity. However, theoretical and conceptual knowledge of …

Rapid environmental change, natural resource overconsumption and increasing concerns
about ecological sustainability have led to the development of 'Essential Variables'(EVs) …

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 …

Geodiversity is a topical concept in earth and environmental sciences. Geodiversity
information is needed to conserve nature, use ecosystem services and achieve sustainable …

Context Recent studies show that geodiversity—the diversity of Earth's landforms, materials,
and processes—has a positive relationship with biodiversity at a landscape scale. However …

Geoconservation and related quantitative and qualitative geodiversity assessments are
gaining increasing attention. However, methodologies for measuring geodiversity at local …

Geodiversity is an essential part of nature's diversity. However, geodiversity is insufficiently
understood in terms of its spatial distribution and its relationship to biodiversity over large …

Abstract Chen et al.(2023) have proposed a scheme to define which services should be
included as ecosystem services and which should be excluded so as to avoid “an all …

Quantitative approaches are needed to complement qualitative explorations to identify sites
with unique geodiversity and thereby guide geoconservation and geoheritage programmes …

Geodiversity—the diversity of abiotic features and processes of the Earth's surface and
subsurface—is an increasingly used concept in ecological research. A growing body of …
