It’s critical mining companies have the knowledge, skills, technology and infrastructure to manage environmental data over the life of your mining project. Data types required to be managed over the life of a project include water quality, air quality, soil, source emissions, waste, tailings, biodiversity, taxonomy, water accounting, ...
Oribatid mites show how climate and latitudinal gradients in organic matter can drive large-scale biodiversity patterns of soil communities Summary The factors determining spatial distributions and diversity of terrestrial invertebrates are typically investigated at small scales. ...
Bear in mind this is all current (sometimes up to the minute) biodiversity data… gold dust! This is only one tiny aspect of biodiversity science in southern Africa, where local and international scientists active in fields of botany, entomology, ecology, zoology, and human-wildlife interactions currently abound (just go to Google Scholar ...
The EUNIS habitat classification provides the context for a number of policy-related ecosystem and habitat assessments, and is a European reference to which other national or regional classifications can be cross‑referenced when sharing geospatial data. Since 1995, it has been developed and managed by the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity (ETC/BD), formerly ...
Across the world, a web of researchers is stitching together millions of data points to present a story of how tropical ecosystems are faring in a changing world. The Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring Network connects 16 sites across Africa, Asia and Latin America and helps researchers standardize and share data on biodiversity, land ...

For each pressure, as well as for mapping and assessing ecosystem condition and its impacts on biodiversity, available data have been collected and summarised in a series of tables (Annex 2). ...
The first is a map that attempts to illustrate the natural values of all ecosystems worldwide. We built this map by combining data on biodiversity, endangered species, rare habitats, critical wilderness areas and vital ecosystem services across the Earth. ...

You don’t need a PhD in remote sensing to use the data—you can browse the maps for free at GlobalForestWatch.org. ...
A focus on citizen science monitoring for biodiversity is very timely for several reasons. Firstly, the acceleration of threats to biodiversity makes it critical to detect biodiversity trends quickly, which will require large volumes of data. Secondly, the advancement in technologies (e.g. recent and widespread proliferation of ...
A self–proclaimed Marxist movement, since the late 1990s some sectors of the movement have started changing towards environmentalism by adopting an image of nature as 'biodiverse'. Using ethnographic data, we look at how imaginaries of natural and social order are used to achieve practical goals and to negotiate new identities and lines of action. ...
The Biodiversity Information System for Europe (BISE) is a single entry point for data and information on biodiversity in the EU. Bringing together facts and figures on biodiversity and ecosystem services, it links to related policies, environmental data centres, assessments and research findings from various ...
This article investigates the impacts of governance and GDP on environmental quality, as measured by water quality, air quality, wilderness of land and biodiversity, using data from 123 countries. It finds no evidence that GDP growth will turn environmental degradation around after a certain point, as much of the literature has suggested. ...
The three analysis functions are: data integration, terrain analysis and data visualisation. Data integration functions enable the environmental characteristics of a species location to be known and therefore provide information on species habitat. ...
