From Data to Decision: Leveraging Essential Variables in Standardizing Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Monitoring and Reporting

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fragmented systems for monitoring and assessing biodiversity and ecosystem services limit the ability to track progress at local and national scales in international multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). This greatly challenges coordinated actions to meet agreed‐upon global commitments.

A review of autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) for monitoring hard‐bottom benthic biodiversity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 435-455, February 2026.
Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

Essential ocean variables for global sustained observations of biodiversity and ecosystem changes

Global Change Biology, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 2416-2433, June 2018., 2018
Biological essential ocean variables (EOVs) were identified based on their scientific and societal relevance and their feasibility for implementation in a global observing system. The process was based in a DPSIR model (drivers‐pressures‐state‐impact‐response): Drivers and pressures were identified from international conventions; the state of ocean ...

Dissolved Organic Carbon in Coastal Waters: Global Patterns, Stocks and Environmental Physical Controls

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in coastal waters is integral to biogeochemical cycling, but global and regional drivers of DOC are still uncertain. In this study we explored spatial and temporal differences in DOC concentrations and stocks across the global coastal ocean, and how these relate to temperature and salinity.

An Eastern Gulf of Maine Salinity Index for Monitoring Winter Scotian Shelf Inflow and Its Relation to Coastal and Interior Pathways

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The Gulf of Maine (GoM) hosts a variety of fish and sea mammals, beaches, and active commercial fishery. Understanding, monitoring, and predicting the status of and future changes in its food web and water quality are key goals of an ocean observing system that utilizes in situ buoys, gliders, shipboard surveys, satellite remote sensing, and ...

Composition and Functional Diversity of Juvenile Groundfish Assemblages in the California Current

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Long‐term monitoring data at the biogeographic scale are essential for developing baselines of biodiversity patterns and tools to diagnose natural cycles, trends, and anomalous events to assess threats from climate change. However, studies using these data often limit their analyses to relatively few metrics that may not adequately capture
