This book presents a series of essays on the application of
plant biodiversity monitoring and assessment to help prevent species extinction, ecosystem collapse, and solve problems in biodiversity conservation.
It will mostly be used by technical specialists with a responsibility
for biodiversity monitoring to establish and refine their systems.
Stralberg simulated wildfire using a model from Natural Resources Canada and used data from the
Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute to determine what vegetation might grow back under future climates.
This work was supported by Alberta Innovates — BioSolutions, The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and Alberta
Biodiversity Monitoring Institute.
Such planning for Arctic marine biodiversity is under way by the Marine Expert Monitoring Group, which is implementing the
Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program under the umbrella of the Conservation of Arctic Fauna and Flora working group of the Arctic Council [342].
John is also the U.S. representative on the Circumpolar
Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP), which operates under the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) Arctic Council Working Group.
«Instead, by sequencing the host DNA that remains inside of terrestrial jungle leeches for months after feeding, we can out - perform all other methods
of biodiversity monitoring in terms of accuracy, completeness, speed, and cost.
Satellites can help deliver such information, and in 10 years» time,
global biodiversity monitoring from space could be a reality, but only if ecologists and space agencies agree on a priority list of satellite - based data that is essential for tracking changes in biodiversity.
«So
far biodiversity monitoring has been mostly species - based, and this means that some of the changes happening on a global - scale may be missed.
A team of ecologists and computer scientists at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, in San Juan hope to change that with their Automated
Remote Biodiversity Monitoring Network (ARBIMON), described today in the journal PeerJ.
This program brings together marine, terrestrial, coastal, and freshwater experts from within the Arctic to enhance long - term
Arctic biodiversity monitoring, and to facilitate detection, interpretation, and communication of significant ecological trends.
The book is aimed at any graduate students and researchers with a strong interest in
plant biodiversity monitoring and assessment, plant community ecology, biodiversity conservation, and the environmental impacts of human activities on ecosystems.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied to conservation challenges, and bioacoustics has huge potential to emerge as a good tool
for biodiversity monitoring.
The study is based on using
biodiversity monitoring to assess the effect of climate change, as established biodiversity monitoring programmes such as existing ones in Switzerland, the UK and Germany's North Rhine - Westphalia.
