The concept of geodiversity and its practical value
-
摘要:
地质多样性作为地球表面和地下物质、形态和过程的非生物多样性,是与生物多样性同等重要的概念,都是自然资本的重要组成部分,为人类带来生态系统产品和服务。通过探讨地质多样性的概念、价值及其服务,并归纳世界上主要国家和国际机构关于地质多样性研究与实践的相关做法与经验,从中发现:地质多样性逐步纳入到自然资源管理各环节,世界自然保护联盟通过了保护地质多样性决议,英国启动了地质多样性系列行动,北欧主要国家推进地质多样性保护,美国启动地质多样性研究工作,澳大利亚开展地质多样性评估。通过回顾地质多样性的研究和实践,认识到拓展了地质工作的服务领域,地质多样性赋予基础性、公益性地质工作更丰富的内涵。通过研究得出几点启示:①地质多样性丰富了自然资源综合调查实践;②地质多样性可为生态保护修复提供地质方案;③地质多样性突出地质系统的功能和价值,有效地拓展了地质工作的服务对象。
Abstract:Geodiversity, as the abiotic diversity of materials, forms, and processes on the earth's surface and subsurface, with the same important concept as biodiversity, is an essential component of natural capital assets that provide ecosystem goods and services to humans. This paper reviews and discusses the concept of geodiversity, its values and services, and summarizes major national and international institutions' studies and practices in this field. Geodiversity has been gradually integrated into all aspects of natural resource management. The IUCN has adopted a resolution on the protection of geodiversity. The UK has launched a series of geodiversity actions. The major Nordic countries are promoting geodiversity protection. The US has started geodiversity research. Australia is conducting geodiversity assessment. Through the study and practice of geodiversity, the service field of geological work has been expanded, and geodiversity has given a rich connotation to the primary and public welfare geological work. Several insights can be drawn from the study and practice of geodiversity. Firstly, geodiversity enriches the practice of comprehensive investigation of natural resources. Secondly, it can provide geological solutions for ecological protection and restoration. Thirdly, it highlights the functions and values of geosystems and expands the service targets of geological work.
