Biodiversity
Species (organisms and their populations)
>107 species; species with 102 to 1012 individuals
Genes and DNA106 to 109 nucleotides in a DNA molecule
Ecosystemshabitats with 104 to 106 species,
and manyfold interactions

What are the impacts of changes in climate, pollution and land/sea-use on biodiversity
How do changes affect the provision of ecosystem services
Can we adapt to environmental change
Where are the thresholds in ecosystem structures and functions
How to manage multi-functional land/sea-scapes
Which actions to ensure long-term sustainability
![Page 7: E-Science and Technology Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1b5503460f94c317b1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The biodiversity system is complex and cannot be described by the simple sum of its components and relations
Experimentation on a fewparameters is not enough:
Limitations to scaling up results for understanding system properties
LifeWatch adds a new technology to support the generation and analysis of large-scale data-sets on the biodiversity system.
Find patterns and learn processes.
![Page 8: E-Science and Technology Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1b5503460f94c317b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This defines an infrastructure with • distributed observatories/sensors, • interoperable databases, • computational capability, • and computational capacity.
• A single portal for researchers, policy makers, industries and public at large
• Find data and model to analyse statistical relationships• Accelerate data capture with new technologies• Structure the scientific community
with new opportunities for large-scale projects

LifeWatch: an Analytical Platform
• supports research on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning from the gene up to the landscape level
• drives frontier science through fast and new technologies
• combines science and policy perspectives

Year 2013Increasing worries about the effects of climate change on the invasion of pest insects.
A researcher has an innovative plan to model the possible effects on food crops.
This requires data sets from all over Eurasia and lots of computational capacity.
Year 2014
Our researcher builds a LifeWatch virtual work space and attracts dozens of collaborators inventing additional functions. Data providers also jump in.
Year 2015Donors are starting a campaign for a funding programme. The researcher receives an important prize.
