Biodiversityof Freshwater Ecosystems: Status, Trends, Pressures, and Conservation Priorities
Abstract
BioFresh will build a freshwater biodiversity information platform to bring together, and make publicly available, the vast amount of information on freshwater biodiversity currently scattered among a wide range of databases. By doing so, what was once widely dispersed and largely inaccessible information will be made available to policy makers, scientists, planners and practitioners. BioFresh will provide spatially-explicit information on the status and trends of freshwater biodiversity and its ecosystem services. Using the data to research past and present impacts of multiple stressors, including their interactions, the project will significantly improve our ability to predict future responses of freshwater biodiversity and its services to climate and socioeconomic pressures. These responses will be investigated at global, continental and local scale with a focus on European biodiversity. BioFresh ultimately aims to provide a coherent, scientific foundation by which freshwater biodiversity can be incorporated more explicitly into water policy and international environmental agreements (i.e. Ramsar Convention, Convention on Biological Diversity) in general, and also to EU directives such as Natura 2000. The project’s findings and outputs will be disseminated widely, to strengthen public awareness on the status and the importance of freshwater biodiversity for environmental and human well-being.
