Article Synopsis
- A new database has been created for European vascular plants, compiling red list categories from conservation assessments across multiple countries, aiming to support European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action 18201, ConservePlants.
- Version 1.0 features 51,109 records that include 21,481 original taxonomic names from 42 red lists representing 41 countries and two Mediterranean nations.
- This resource harmonizes data by standardizing 20,312 taxonomic names into 17,873 unique accepted names across a range of families and species, categorizing them into 13 red list groups to aid various stakeholders in plant conservation efforts.
Genetic monitoring of populations currently attracts interest in the context of the Convention on Biological Diversity but needs long-term planning and investments. However, genetic diversity has been largely neglected in biodiversity monitoring, and when addressed, it is treated separately, detached from other conservation issues, such as habitat alteration due to climate change. We report an accounting of efforts to monitor population genetic diversity in Europe (genetic monitoring effort, GME), the evaluation of which can help guide future capacity building and collaboration towards areas most in need of expanded monitoring.
