Spatial resources accessible for the derivation of biodiversity indicators of the class ecosystem structure are sparse and disparate, and their integration into computer algorithms for biodiversity monitoring remains problematic. We describe ecochange as

The essentiality of Essential Biodiversity Variables: implementation in nature conservation policies
Biological diversity on Earth is in decline. The current decline in biodiversity has been called (the onset of) the sixth mass extinction. Land cover change causes deforestation and loss of other ecosystems, such as wetlands, resulting in a lossof crucial habitats for various species. The importance of biodiversity for life on Earth, valued for its own
