WG3 Terrestrial Ecosystem Change

Reporting back to Plenary

Deliverable overview + responsible staff

• 1. Handbook Chapter 3
• 2. Field site network building – engagement
• f network

– global network of field sites undertaking long- term co-located measurements on appropriate scales for linking drivers, states and impacts

Deliverable: Field Site Network Building Global Network of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Observation Sites

Water Agriculture Forestry Soils / carbon stores landscape and wildlife tourism

e.g. on ecosystem services

Site-metadatabase Build network community

Proof of concept “Use cases” and early products

Linked-data based on EBVs

Analytical framework for advanced “use cases” linking data, models and RS: delivering to Aichi targets

field sites undertaking long-term co-located measurements at appropriate scales for linking drivers, states and impacts

Deliverable overview + responsible staff

• 3. Ecosystem elements & EBV

– Methodological overview of EBVs as derived from EO data; map product of EO derived EBVs and plant functional traits at a global/regional scale – Examples of primary EBV produced through image processing include leaf nitrogen concentration, phenology, NPP, biomass, plant height, foliage canopy cover. Spatial resolution will be fine (25m) to moderate (250 m).

Leaf nitrogen grasses

Deliverable overview + responsible staff

• 4. Global ecosystem mapping + stratification

Deliverable overview + responsible staff

• 5. Ecosystem restoration and degradation change

– Regional to global spatial system for determining potential sites for restoring ecosystems and monitoring progress toward restoration – Demonstrate the potential of delivering the System for selected countries/regions (in Australia, Colombia, Brazil). – Maps of actual and potential ecosystem extent are required

Ecosystem restoration

Areas suitable for restoration: a) Early regrowth, Brigalow Belt Bioregion, south east Queensland,

• Australia. (ALOS/Landsat integration, 2009)

b) Degraded sites with different land use histories, Manaus, Brazil (Landsat time-series; 1972-2003)

a) b)

Deliverable overview + responsible staff

• 6. Links to other GEO groups (GEO-FCT etc)

– GEOBON SC effort? – GEOSS scientific conference?

• 7. Capacity Building

– 15-day workshop including training materials (manuals/ textbook with translations if applicable)

Funding

1. Handbook chapter Ecosystem Change (GEOBON) 2. Field site network building – engagement of network (in-kind contribution; workshop 50k) 3. Ecosystem elements & EBV (reviews & local prototypes in-kind; global products require funding) 4. Global ecosystem mapping + stratification (in-kind input data; 2 fte (USGS, NatureServe) + travel) 5. Ecosystem restoration and degradation change (in-kind development and case studies; funding for global implementation) 6. Links to other GEO groups (GEO-FCT etc) (meetings and travel 50k) 7. Capacity Building (workshop 50k) Cross-cutting the deliverables: Prospective

Challenges and Gaps

• 1. Field site network building – engagement of network

(Timeline of verification data from 2 into 3-5)

• 2. Ecosystem elements & EBV (accuracy and retrieval,

global implementation)

• 3. Ecosystem restoration and degradation change

(global implementation, empirical and local knowledge required)

• 4. Links to other GEO groups (GEO-FCT etc)

(GEOBON issue?)

• 5. Capacity Building (require input from 2-5; post

2015?)

Next steps

• Timeline
• Interim meeting (funding)
• Prospective
