Boundary of ecosystem services: A response to Chen et al. (2023)
Gray, Murray; Fox, Nathan; Gordon, John E.; Brilha, J. B.; Charkraborty, Sbhik; Garcia, Maria da Glória; Hjort, Jan; Kubalíková, LucieChen 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-encompassing metaphor that captures any benefit”. We discuss the proposals, drawing attention in particular to definitions of ‘natural capital’ and ‘ecosystems’, the complexities of separating biotic from abiotic flows, and the importance of geodiversity...
Too much diversity—Multiple definitions of geodiversity hinder its potential in...
Maliniemi, Tuija; Tukiainen, Helena; Hjort, Jan; Toivanen, Maija; Vernham, Grant; Bailey, Joseph J.; Baines, Oliver; Benniston, Lucy; Brilha, J. B.Geodiversity—the diversity of abiotic features and pro-cesses of the Earth's surface and subsurface—is an increasingly used concept in ecological research. A growing body of scientific literature has provided evidence of positive links between geodiversity and biodiversity. These studies highlight the potential of geodiversity to improve our understanding of biodiversity patterns and to complement current biodi...
A framework for quantifying geodiversity at the local scale: a case study from ...
Tukiainen, Helena; Maliniemi, Tuija; Brilha, J. B.; Alahuhta, Janne; Hjort, JanGeoconservation and related quantitative and qualitative geodiversity assessments are gaining increasing attention. However, methodologies for measuring geodiversity at local scale are currently rare. Here, we present a framework for assessing local-scale geodiversity of different landforms using field-based and digital elevation model (DEM-) derived data from the Rokua UNESCO Global Geopark in Finland. We obse...
