Towards the “Biodiversity PMC”: a literature database supporting advanced content queries The indexing is one of the major outcomes from the partnerships within the Horizon 2020-funded project Biodiversity Community Integrated Knowledge Library (BiCIKL)

🤔 Ever used the #SIBiLS database (a.k.a. #BiodiversityPMC) to browse #scientific literature in search of e.g. #species traits or #biotic interactions?

📝Help us improve it by filling out this 5-min survey: heg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

You know what an NPC 🎮 is, but how about NCP🤔? NCP, or Nature’s Contribution to People, means all the amazing benefits #nature provides.🌳

As part of our #PreviousResearch campaign, we're showing how protecting key areas boosts biodiversity AND benefits people🏞️:

🧠 Wise men say #communication is key…

Well, we from OBSGESSION listen 👂- and this is why, this week on #OBSGESSIONWorkPackages, we give you:

📦 WP6: Dissemination, Multi-Stakeholder Outreach, and Synergies, led by @pensoft.net

👇Watch the video below for more details!

This time on #PreviousResearch we give you a report on EU #biodiversitydata, revealing gaps in quality and coverage across member states.

🌍 How unified biodiversity data can create an European biodiversity monitoring network?

🌍 Forests = Carbon sinks 🌲

We share with you a research on how forest ecosystems, past land use, and natural disturbances impact carbon uptake. Using global data and models, it tracks old-growth vs. regrowth over a 30-year period.
