- Abstract
EuropaBON harnesses the power of modelling Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) to integrate different reporting streams, data sources, and monitoring schemes, and measure biodiversity change across multiple dimensions in space and time. Therefore, EBVs are at the core of the project and form the basis for several of the tasks feeding into the co-design of a biodiversity monitoring system for Europe. In this document, we introduce the EBV framework established by The Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON), followed by an in-depth description of the stepwise process of identifying and specifying EBVs for EuropaBON. We further provide a definition for each EBV, and information about the metrics to be measured, the desired spatial- and temporal resolution, and the taxon/ecosystem to be monitored. Finally, we provide a descriptive analysis of the composition of the EBVs on our list, in terms of EBV class, realm, spatial/temporal resolution and taxonomic/ecosystem focus.
