“…In addition, soils on islands that are still connected to an active magma plume are rapidly covered by younger deposits, which prohibits soil development and cause low pedodiversity values (Ibáñez and Effland 2011). In addition, the topographic position in the terrain could be important as well, because of its effect on fragmentation of soils in a landscape.…”

“…3). Ibáñez and Effland (2011) found that soil richness and age are strongly correlated for the higher hierarchical level of the USDA Soil Taxonomy (Orders, Suborders and Great Groups) for the Hawaiian archipelago and that soil patterns could be explained by the influence of plate tectonics via relief, area and perhaps island age.…”

“…Earlier attempts to include landscape dynamics over time as an explanatory variable only considered theoretical variables, such as topographic complexity in island ontogeny (Warren et al 2015, Whittaker et al 2017, soils in pedodiversity (Ibáñez and Effland 2011), or the coevolution of topography and hydrology (Jefferson et al 2014). It should be kept in mind that our methodological approach is explorative, and open to future methodological improvements.…”

Abstract:The role of time is underrepresented in assessments of geodiversity. Hot spot islands are unique systems to explore long-term geodiversity dynamics. The geodiversity dynamics of seven Hawaiian Islands are analysed by a qualitative-quantitative assessment using a geodiversity index. As input, freely available geological, soil and hydrological datasets are used, along with topographic diversity variables calculated from a digital elevation model. Long-term geodiversity dynamics were evaluated through correlation of island age to geodiversity class and assessment of the role of each contributing variable to the geodiversity class. The results indicate that high geodiversity is positively correlated with increasing island age, while younger islands generally correlate with low geodiversity classes. This is explained by the high contribution of topographic variables, and to a lesser extent by hydrological development and soil formation over time. These findings suggest that geodiversity dynamics play an important role in the life cycle of hot spot islands.

“…First, we assume the number of pedotaxa of a given geographic area is positively correlated with the number of both above‐ground and below‐ground communities, that is, pedodiversity and biodiversity are positively correlated in different environments and at varying scales (Ibáñez et al . ; Ibáñez, Caniego & García‐Álvarez ; Ibáñez & Effland ). Second, we assume that a fuzzy matching exists between pedotaxa and soilscapes, and biotaxa and biocenoses (Petersen, Gröngröft & Miehlich ; Guo, Gong & Amundson ; Guo et al .…”

The pedosphere is a part of our natural heritage. Soils should be considered both for their biological and for their geological resources. 2. During the Anthropocene, human activities have dramatically changed the land surface and remodified soil cover, resulting in many natural pedotaxa being at risk of extinction. Recently, biogeographers and ecologists recognized that numerous biotaxa should be considered as edaphic endemisms, and as a consequence, in situ soil preservation is important relative to both its biological and geological value. 3. This contribution discusses the similarity and differences between biodiversity and pedodiversity and proposes using pedodiversity as a surrogate measure of above-ground biodiversity and an indicator of below-ground biodiversity. 4. Another objective is to explore the relevance of soil diversity to soil ecology by illustrating how the analysis of pedotaxa and their genetic soil horizons can be applied in conservation biology. To preserve biological and geological heritage inherent to the pedosphere, we propose to design a network of soil reserves. The proposed network could also be an efficient way to preserve soil characteristics and qualities of undisturbed soils that would become benchmarks for soil monitoring programs. 5. Synthesis and applications. The coincidence between patterns of biodiversity and pedodiversity offers a new and unexplored direction for understanding the genesis of biological and non-biological assemblages and the spatial patterns of soils and living organisms. Pedodiversity can be used as a practical surrogate indicator of soil diversity. We provide a pedodiversity framework for the design of a network of soil reserves for the preservation and monitoring of soil biodiversity. This new framework could contribute toward the development of a unified theory of natural diversity and to understanding the role of the pedosphere in the provision of ecosystem services.
