Article Synopsis
  • * A new database has been created, containing over 1.6 million samples from 78 countries, which includes data on around 28,000 species experiencing various types of human impacts across different ecosystems.
  • * This comprehensive dataset, part of the PREDICTS project, offers a much broader perspective for analyzing biodiversity trends and will be publicly accessible in 2015, enhancing our understanding of ecological changes.
