Laboratory for Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV) Concepts – The “Data Pool Initiative for the Bohemian Forest Ecosystem” [PDF]
Forest ecosystems respond very sensitively to climate and atmospheric changes. Feedback mechanisms can be measured via changes in albedo, energy balance and carbon storage. The Bavarian Forest National Park is a unique forest ecosystem with large non-intervention zones, which promote a large scale re-wilding process with low human interference.

Abstract Natural regeneration is essential for maintaining functionally diverse and resilient plant communities in human‐modified landscapes. To design and implement successful conservation and restoration initiatives in these landscapes, research on the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of natural regeneration must be scaled up beyond ...

Scaling Up From Regional Case Studies to a Global Harmful Algal Bloom Observing System
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) produce local impacts in nearly all freshwater and marine systems. They are a problem that occurs globally requiring an integrated and coordinated scientific understanding, leading to regional responses and solutions.

Global environmental changes are affecting both the distribution and abundance of species at an unprecedented rate. To assess these effects, species distribution models (SDMs) have been greatly developed over the last decades, while species abundance ...

Marine biodiversity change impacts relational values: expert survey shows policy mismatch
Understanding the complex ways that biodiversity change influences Nature’s Contributions to People (NCPs) is at the heart of current debates on coastal conservation, as researchers and practitioners seek to translate ecological shifts into meaningful ...

The concept of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) for monitoring changes in biodiversity and tracking policy goals has substantially advanced in the last decade. I synthesize crucial information for developing an integrated European-wide biodiversity monitoring framework using EBVs to better inform environmental policies. This includes an overview

As the volume of accessible marine pelagic observations increases exponentially, incorporating diverse data types such as metagenomics and quantitative imaging, the need for standardized modelling frameworks becomes critical to predict biogeographic ...
