ECO-MOSAIC workshop Challenges of integrating ECVs and EVBs for modelling species’ distributions

ECO-MOSAIC workshop: Challenges in Integrating EBVs and ECVs for Modelling Species’ Distributions

This ECO-MOSAIC online workshop focuses on the challenges of integrating Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) into species distribution models. The session will explore key considerations and challenges in combining these variables to support species distribution modelling and using an interactive approach.

Workshop Objective

To facilitate knowledge exchange and develop a shared understanding of the priorities and practical steps needed to advance the integration of EBVs and ECVs in species distribution modelling.
