Feeding Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs): actual and potential contributions from LTER-Italy [PDF]
Nature Conservation, 2019 The conceptual framework of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) aims to capture the major dimensions of biodiversity change by structuring biodiversity monitoring and by ruling data collection amongst different providers.

Analyzing Essential Biodiversity Variables with the VAT System [PDF]
Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2019 The Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) are important information sources for scientists and decision makers. They are developed and promoted by the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) together with the community. EBVs provide an abstraction level between measurements and indicators.

Existing indicators do not adequately monitor progress toward meeting invasive alien species targets
Conservation Letters, 2022 Monitoring the progress parties have made toward meeting global biodiversity targets requires appropriate indicators. The recognition of invasive alien species (IAS) as a biodiversity threat has led to the development of specific targets aiming at ...

Towards an Essential Biodiversity Variable for Species Interactions [PDF]
Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2018 Can Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) be developed to monitor changes in species interactions? That was the difficult question asked at the GLOBIS-B workshop in February, 2017 in which >50 experts participated. EBVs can be defined as harmonized measurements that allow us to inform policy about essential changes in biodiversity. They can be
