Ecological data for tracking biological diversity and environmental change
- Submission status

- Submission deadline
Numerous factors threaten our world’s biodiversity, such as climate change, pollution, land-use, and habitat degradation from human development. In recent years, governments and organizations have strived to address these environmental challenges by characterizing biodiversity at both the local and global scale.
This collection presents data contributions from researchers, organizations, and governments addressing topics in biodiversity and ecology, such as distribution patterns of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial flora and fauna, characterizations of microbial diversity in unique environments, and data on how organisms respond to their environment in our rapidly changing world. All datasets are presented without significant analyses and organisms from all environments are considered. Contributing to this collection will help advance understanding of biodiversity and ecological processes, and provide valuable data for researchers and organizations working towards a more sustainable future.
