BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATIONS FOR A BETTER FUTURE
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs), defined as the derived measurements required to study, report, and manage biodiversity change, focusing on status and trend in elements of biodiversity. EBVs play the role of brokers between monitoring initiatives and decision makers. They provide the first level of abstraction between low-level primary observations and high-level indicators of biodiversity.

Changes in bird diversity at the grid cell level caused by land-use, estimated by the cSAR model (Pereira et al). It reports changes in species number (percentage and absolute), relative to 1900, for all bird s...
