How are biodiversity units measured?
Biodiversity units represent the ecological integrity of a defined area. To measure Ecological Integrity, we focus on three proxies to evaluate the ecosystem’s quality based through its structure, composition, and function:
- Habitat intactness: Quantifying human-driven disturbances or threats, such as infrastructure or deforestation, using satellite imagery.
- Habitat connectivity: Assessing each unit’s connectivity to surrounding quality habitat as larger more connected systems are more resilient.
- Indicator species: Illustrating the presence of ten different indicator species groups using field observations.
