Beierkuhnlein C. (2025) et al. Towards a comprehensive geodiversity – biodiversity nexus in terrestrial ecosystems
The study address the need for an integrated approach to managing complex natural systems by linking geodiversity and biodiversity. These elements interact across scales, influencing climate and human land use while underpinning ecosystem services. Despite disciplinary barriers, Earth Observation and advanced data analysis offer new opportunities. Authors propose a comprehensive framework to classify and assess natural system diversity, focusing on functional contributions to matter, energy, and information fluxes. The main goal is to establish a robust geodiversity–biodiversity nexus to better understand and manage global change challenges.
