Enabling the Reuse of Long-Term Marine Biological Observations in Essential Variables Frameworks Through a Practical Approach

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and Biological and Ecosystem Essential Ocean Variables (BioEco EOVs) are two cooperative conceptual frameworks which help harmonize and process multi-source marine biodiversity observations into robust indexes, in ...

Implementing integrated measurements of Essential Biodiversity Variables at a national scale

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.

Spatial predictions of regional species distribution essential biodiversity variables (SD EBVs): A bird perspective in the Swiss Alps [PDF]

, 2020
This study aims to describe and demonstrate the applicability of a novel approach used to develop and test new methods based on species distribution models (SDMs) to establish spatial predictions of EBVs for birds based on bird diversity metrics, such as the distributions of properties of key bird habitats.

Advancing terrestrial biodiversity monitoring with satellite remote sensing in the context of the Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Satellite remote sensing (SRS) provides huge potential for tracking progress towards conservation targets and goals, but SRS products need to be tailored towards the requirements of ecological users and policymakers. In this viewpoint article, we propose

Research infrastructure challenges in preparing essential biodiversity variables data products for alien invasive species

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Essential biodiversity variables (EBV) are information products for assessing biodiversity change. Species populations EBVs are one class of EBVs that can be used to monitor the spread of invasive species.

Monitoring the critically endangered Clanwilliam cedar with freely available Google Earth imagery [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Monitoring of species and populations is essential for biodiversity observation and reporting at local, national and global scales, but can be an exceedingly difficult task for many, if not most, species.
