Disentangling linkages between satellite-derived indicators of forest structure and productivity for ecosystem monitoring [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The essential biodiversity variables (EBV) framework has been proposed as a monitoring system of standardized, comparable variables that represents a minimum set of biological information to monitor biodiversity change at large spatial extents.

Evolutionary Footprint: A Systemic Indicator in Evolution, Ecology and Conservation. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT The growing awareness of evolutionary responses to human‐induced environmental changes highlights the need to better understand and integrate evolutionary perspectives into life sciences and, more broadly, into biodiversity conservation. Evolutionary changes are complex and multi‐causal, operating across numerous timescales.

How Essential Biodiversity Variables and remote sensing can help national biodiversity monitoring

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2017
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) have been suggested to harmonize biodiversity monitoring worldwide. Their aim is to provide a small but comprehensive set of monitoring variables that would give a balanced picture of the development of ...

Tailoring evidence into action: Using a co‐design approach for biodiversity information in the Tropical Andes

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
Biodiversity conservation is a complex and transdisciplinary problem that requires engagement and cooperation among scientific, societal, economic, and political institutions. However, historical approaches have often failed to bring together and address
