The overall objective of BIOcean5D is to generate the data, knowledge, theory, monitoring and modeling tools necessary to sustainably measure, understand, value and predict marine biodiversity in the five dimensions (5D) of space, time and pressures. human environments, allowing ecosystem-based management and long-term preservation.
The lack of a permanently coordinated marine biodiversity monitoring community in Europe undermines the good research of many scientists and projects in the past, as it is not possible to easily find out where and what biodiversity is being monitored. MBON Europe’s goal is to solve this problem.
The threats to mountain aquatic ecosystems are multiple. It has been identified that the population of fish in lakes where it did not naturally exist is one of them and is particularly harmful to water quality and biodiversity.
In 1987, a synoptic study of the ponds of the Pyrenees was carried out that included 35 localities of the PNASM. This reference offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the changes that have occurred since then in submerged plant communities and analyze their causes.
This Life project, coordinated by the CEAB-CSIC, aims to recover mountain aquatic habitats by improving the conservation of various habitats/target species in four locations in the Natura 2000 network in the alpine biogeographic regions of the Pyrenees and the Alps.
Under the current global change scenario, it is essential to understand how individuals and populations are affected and how they respond to perturbations. Additionally, improving quantitative criteria to assess the conservation status of species and populations are needed to optimize the prioritization when using public resources and maximize our ability to anticipate and predict biodiversity loss.
With the MARGECH research project we want to generate massive data on marine biodiversity through sequencing of DNA extensions (metabarcoding) to monitor global change and develop biosafety tools.
