geolodiversity, geomorphodiversity, pedodiversity, hydrodiversity, climodiversityAbstract
The article states that geodiversity is the abiotic complement of biodiversity, considering elements associated with the abiotic environment, e.g. geological diversity (or geologodiversity), geomorphodiversity, pedodiversity, hydrodiversity and climodiversity. Geoheritage is considered as the geological heritage of a site, but it is presented here as the set of abiotic heritage of a given place, and is related to geoloheritage, geomorphoheritage, pedoheritage, hydroheritage and climatoheritage. Geodiversity and geoheritage are strongly linked to geology at its origin. However, it is also a new paradigm for geography, which goes beyond geosystem and landscape, as physical geography classically works with abiotic and biotic environments, and not just with abiotic environments.
