Representation of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) from the EuropaBON project. (a) Number of EBVs falling into the freshwater, marine and terrestrial realm, respectively. (b) Representation of EuropaBON EBVs within the six EBV classes as proposed by the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON). (c) Word cloud showing the taxonomic and ecosystem focus of the identified EBVs. The figure is based on the taxonomic and ecosystem groups mentioned in the full list of 70 EBVs (available from GitHub, accessed for this figure on 19 May 2023, https://github.com/EuropaBON/EBV-Descriptions).
