Geodiversity, Conservation and Climate Change : Key Principles for Adaptation
  • Adaptation ; Biodiversity ; Climatic change ; Earth surface processes ; Ecosystem ; Environmental management ; Geodiversity ; Resilience ; Scotland ; United Kingdom ; Vulnerability
  • on geodiversity and geoconservation and note that principles and guidance to facilitate adaptive management of our geodiversity are now required. Here the AA. set out key principles including working with natural processes, assessing site vulnerability
  • , and enhancing the delivery of ecosystem services, landscape management and biodiversity through geoconservation. In addition, they summarise the importance of applying evidence on how dynamic Earth processes respond to climate change, along with applying
  • hindsight from past ecological records to inform adaptive management for the whole natural environment. This will help us understand resilience, scales and rates of change and natural versus human-induced change.
