🇩🇪 ... aand it's a wrap for the 3rd @b-cubed.eu General Assembly in Leipzig hosted by consortium members iDiv!
👇 Check out highlights in the thread & via #BCubed2025 🖱️
🧐 You can also explore various @b-cubed.eu project outcomes in our #openscience journal @riojournal.com: doi.org/10.3897/rio....
🎤 B-Cubed’s coordinator @cabbageleek.bsky.social opened the event with a talk on how B-Cubed is making biodiversity data more actionable for policy by using data cubes and the EBV framework as the basis for models and indicators of past, current and future biodiversity
#BCubed2025
Today, we're at iDiv in Leipzig 🇩🇪 for a B-Cubed workshop on bridging #biodiversity data & decision-making
👥The event brings together policy advisors, data scientists, conservationists & stakeholders to explore efforts to enhance access to biodiversity data for improved monitoring
#BCubed2025
Based on a needs assessment from stakeholder interviews, our final case study will use B-Cubed tools to
🔗 Improve integration of @gbif.org data with reporting under Art. 17 of the Habitats directive (assessment of conservation status of habitats and species)
📥 Facilitate reporting
#BCubed2025
Our global-level case study presented by @hannoseebens.bsky.social will test B-Cubed indicators & workflows, focusing on
📊 Applying indicators to species or regions of interest in environmental agreements
📊 Indicators to support reporting for international agreements
#BCubed2025
A short intermission between case studies’ discussions for two plenary talks on:
ℹ️ FAIR biodiversity data by B-Cubed's coordinator @cabbageleek.bsky.social
🌐 Landscape connectivity by Lucy Bastin, who coordinates the case studies of our sister project АD4GD
#BCubed2025
Tsungai Alfred Zengeya from the South African National Biodiversity institute promoting our upcoming Topical Collection 'Developing lists of alien taxa in the Global South: workflows, protocols, processes, and experiences' at the #BCubed2025 meeting.
Manuscript submission deadline: 30 April 2025.
🦜In South Africa, B-Cubed’s data cubes and indicators will be used to feed into status reports on #bioinvasions

#BCubed2025
🌿📊 Biodiversity observation data is abundant in Flanders
The vast number of observations on @gbif.org will test our workflows including for:
🔘 trends in regulated species
🔘 pressure of #IAS in protected areas
🔘 maps of phylogenetic diversity
#BCubed2025
Day 2️⃣ of #BCubed2025 is all about our case studies
Our tools such as @gbif.org data cubes for modelling & indicators of biodiversity change (incl. #bioinvasion indicators) will be tested in 4️⃣ case studies, covering locations varying in geographical extent, biodiversity richness & data availability
Updates from day 2 of #BCubed2025
📦 B-Cubed developed a collection of R packages to calculate biodiversity indicators from occurrence cubes
