“…Related to the human activities, the kinds of soils are determinant of the farming activities developed, for example. This is in line with the fact that the consideration of EGVs, especially geomorhodiversity and land uses, entails important heterogeneities in the development of supporting services [9,10].…”

“…This definition assumes that the ecosystem includes abiotic elements, the elements of the geodiversity, as well as social elements (Figure 2). The World Forum on Natural Capital specifies the world's stocks of natural assets, which include geology, soil, water, and all living things (https://naturalcapitalforum.com/about/), considering geological elements as essential components of the natural environment (Essential Geodiversity Variables, EGV; [10]). The Forum furthermore states that these elements are to be treated differently depending on whether they are renewable or nonrenewable [17].…”

“…Despite this differentiation between ecosystem and geosystem services, several authors [10,22,31,32] propose that both should be considered from a holistic point of view, since both provide well-being to man. However, geosystem services are largely based on the use of nonrenewable natural elements.…”

“…Strongly anchored in this concept is the notion of the nature conservation (goal 13: climate action; goal 14: life below water; goal 15: life on land; www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment). Geology and Geomorphology adopted a perspective centered on the relationship between the man and environment, accenting not just the use, but the sustainable use, of natural resources, while avoiding or preventing hazards for the population and minimizing the degradation of nature [3,5,[8][9][10]. Thus, Environmental Geology arose to safeguard nature and the conceptual framework embracing geodiversity, and its methodology began to evolve.…”

“…In this way, geodiversity is perceived as an intrinsic property of a territory that allows one to establish its geological interest [1,2,5,11]. Geodiversity materializes in certain tangible geological elements: outcrops, landforms, their groupings… A detailed analysis of numerous studies on geodiversity valuation [8][9][10] shows that geomorphodiversity and geomorphosites play an important role in the final value of geodiversity. The geodiversity elements should not merely be studied in independent fashion, but rather in view of their interrelations.…”

Geodiversity and biodiversity are the two fundamental components of Nature that must be analyzed simultaneously for good management of the natural environment. Geodiversity, including geomorphodiversity, has values that make it possible to define the geosystem services on the basis of which it is possible to establish protocols for the sustainable development of the territory analyzed. Both the values of geodiversity and the geosystem services they provide are key elements for the definition of Natural Protected Areas (NPAs). Furthermore, it is also necessary to consider the assessment of the geodiversity and geomorphodiversity of the territory under consideration, so that a zoning can be established in terms of the geodiversity index (geodiversity/geomorphodiversity gradient) that favors the establishment of specific geoconservation protocols according to the value of these indices. In addition, NPAs should be considered as elements belonging to a network in which the different natural systems of the territory in which the network is defined are represented. In the case of geodiversity or geomorphodiversity, the network must be supported by the definition of geological contexts, representative of the major geological units that are observable in the territory.

This work describes the production of a novel biosurfactant produced by the bacterium Bacillus invictae UCP1617 cultivated using an alternative substrate and its use in the formulation of an eco‐friendly detergent. A factorial design was used to optimize agitation, temperature, and inoculum size in a mineral medium containing 1.5% corn steep liquor in 100‐mL shake flasks. The best conditions (175 rpm, 28°C, and 4% inoculum) were used to scale up biosurfactant production in a 50‐L bioreactor. Surface tension of the fermentation medium decreased from 69.5 to 30.2 mN/m within 72 h. The biosurfactant exhibited a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.900 ± 0.08 g/L. The biosurfactant formed stable oil‐in‐water emulsions of motor oil and petroleum, achieving emulsification indices of 90.80% and 99.00%, respectively. An eco‐friendly detergent was formed that included biosurfactant at several different concentrations, 0.2 (wt) % hydroxyethyl cellulose and 0.2% potassium sorbate. The detergent remained stable under extreme conditions of pH, temperature, and salinity when stored for 90 days. The detergent was nontoxic to cabbage, cherry tomato plants, and the microcrustacean Artemia salina. A detergent formulation containing biosurfactant at the CMC completely dispersed motor oil in seawater at a 1:1 surfactant/oil (vol/vol) ratio and removed 99.21% of motor oil (20 mL) contained in 60 g of clayey soil. The detergent removed 98.42% of the oil adhered to a glass surface and removed 75.00% of motor oil adsorbed to a porous surface. The application of this biosurfactant as an environmentally friendly additive for remediation processes is feasible.
