Geodiversity and Biodiversity

Abstract Non-living and living nature are inherently connected. Geodiversity, which consists of the variation in geology, soils, topography, geomorphology hydrology, is seen as foundation stage for biodiversity. Underlying theory suggests that increasing abiotic creates maintains available niche space different organisms to thrive, resulting higher Emerging scientific observations support this premise, indicating a positive influence geodiversity on biodiversity across environments, regions spatial scales. Inclusion into research conservation therefore has capacity improve our understanding patterns dynamics. Current challenges need be overcome relatively new field science related defining measuring gaining more empirical evidence link between Despite these challenges, connecting two concepts embracing interdisciplinary cooperation have great potential advancing diversity integrating assessments
