A provisional taxonomy of topography. Topographical features can be used to supplement or substitute geomorphological geofeatures (see the text and Supplementary Material S1)

Supplementary Material S5 from Towards a taxonomy of geodiversity

Geodiversity is a topical concept in earth and environmental sciences. Geodiversity information is needed to conserve nature, use ecosystem services and achieve sustainable development goals. Despite the increasing demand for geodiversity data, there exists no comprehensive system for categorizing geodiversity. Here, we present a hierarchically structured taxonomy that is potentially applicable in mapping and quantifying geodiversity across different regions, environments and scales. In this taxonomy, the main components of geodiversity are geology, geomorphology, hydrology and paedology. We propose a six-level hierarchical system where the components of geodiversity are classified at progressively lower taxonomic levels based on their genesis, physical–chemical properties and morphology. This comprehensive taxonomy can be used to compile geodiversity information for scientific research and various applications of value to society and nature conservation. Ultimately, this hierarchical system is the first step towards developing a global geodiversity taxonomy.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Geodiversity science for society’

Supplementary Material S1 from Towards a taxonomy of geodiversity

A provisional taxonomy of geodiversity with selected examples of geofeatures (separated by /). Note that most of the geofeature lists are not exhaustive. At local scales or in cases where geomorphological data are not available, topographical features can supplement or substitute geomorphological geofeatures (Supplementary Material S2)
