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.

Modeling current and future species distribution of breeding birds as regional essential biodiversity variables (SD EBVs): A bird perspective in Swiss Alps

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Changes in distribution and abundance of species affect the entirety of biodiversity and monitoring these changes is critical for the efficient conservation of integrity and functions of species population.

Ecological Integrity of Hybrid Ecosystems in the Anthropocene: The Impact of Self-Organization on Function and Sustainability. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We propose a conceptual framework for assessing ecological integrity in hybrid ecosystems based on the identification of active self‐organizing processes and the mapping of their functional contributions. This process‐based approach offers a practical and scalable tool for monitoring ecosystem health and guiding adaptive management strategies in an era

StrucNet: a global network for automated vegetation structure monitoring [PDF]

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Climate change and increasing human activities are impacting ecosystems and their biodiversity. Quantitative measurements of essential biodiversity variables (EBV) and essential climate variables are used to monitor biodiversity and carbon dynamics and ...

Advancing Marine Biological Observations and Data Requirements of the Complementary Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) Frameworks

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Measurements of the status and trends of key indicators for the ocean and marine life are required to inform policy and management in the context of growing human uses of marine resources, coastal development, and climate change.

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 ...

Multi-Locus Nuclear Marker Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Swiss Orthoptera Unveils Conservation Status Limitations. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT With accelerating biodiversity loss, tracking both inter‐ and intraspecific diversity is critical, as within‐species variation underpins population viability and adaptive potential. We developed a new multi‐locus framework, and obtained an Orthoptera‐specific marker panel targeting 398 nuclear loci plus the mitogenome and ribosomal DNA to ...

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.

TABMON: Design and deployment of a transnational passive acoustic monitoring network for European birds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Ecological surveys are often fragmented, costly and limited in scale, leading to large and long‐standing knowledge gaps which threaten our ability to properly safeguard biodiversity.
