Implementing integrated measurements of Essential Biodiversity Variables at a national scale [PDF]

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2020
1. There is a global need for observation systems that deliver regular, timely data on state and trends in biodiversity, but few have been implemented, and fewer still at national scales.

Towards implementing workflows for essential biodiversity variables at a European scaleZenodo

Global Ecology and Conservation
Biodiversity is declining, prompting new multilateral treaties and environmental legislation. To track the progress of these efforts, a comprehensive monitoring network is essential.

A suite of essential biodiversity variables for detecting critical biodiversity change [PDF]

Biological Reviews, 2017
ABSTRACTKey global indicators of biodiversity decline, such as the IUCN Red List Index and the Living Planet Index, have relatively long assessment intervals. This means they, due to their inherent structure, function as late‐warning indicators that are retrospective, rather than prospective.

The National Geographic Society Deep-Sea Camera System: A Low-Cost Remote Video Survey Instrument to Advance Biodiversity Observation in the Deep Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
There is a growing need for marine biodiversity baseline and monitoring data to assess ocean ecosystem health, especially in the deep sea, where data are notoriously sparse.

Supporting Essential Biodiversity Variables: The GLOBIS case study [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2019
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) are the latest push toward supporting state of the environment indicators (Pereira et al. 2013). The European Union Funded Creative-B Project (see https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/100345/brief/en) outlined the status and strategy for interoperability between what they termed Biodiversity Research ...

Taking stock of nature: Essential biodiversity variables explained [PDF]

Biological Conservation, 2017
In 2013, the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) developed the framework of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs), inspired by the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs). The EBV framework was developed to distill the complexity of biodiversity into a manageable list of priorities and to bring a more coordinated ...

Essential biodiversity variables for mapping and monitoring species populations [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019
AbstractSpecies distributions and abundances are undergoing rapid changes worldwide. This highlights the significance of reliable, integrated information for guiding and assessing actions and policies aimed at managing and sustaining the many functions and benefits of species.

Cataloging Essential Biodiversity Variables with the EBV Data Portal [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2022
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) are used to monitor the status and trends in biodiversity at multiple spatiotemporal scales. These provide an abstraction level between raw biodiversity observations and indicators, enabling better access to policy-relevant biodiversity information.
