  1. Introductory remarks Wouter Los LifeWatch Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research

  2. Challenges The landscape of Research Infrastructures How to move forward

  3. Interacting systems • Stability, extreme effects • Thresholds • Profit-costs interactions Biodiversity & Ecosystems Other systems Ecosystems Species Genes e.g. Climate System Interactions between microscopic and macroscopic levels. -> scaling effects Credit: Rob Guralnick

  4. Scientific challenges

  5. The biodiversity science-policy landscape Research (Future Earth-Diversitas) Assessment (IPBES) Policy (CBD) Observations (GEO BON)

  6. Observatories monitoring sites experimental plots Physical infrastructure sequencers sensors satellites collections humans e-Infrastructure data storage data processing analysis modeling visualisation publication

  7. Gases Aerosoles Deposition Wind Precipitation Temperature Wet Dry Tree response Tree bioelements Epiphyte response Litter fall Understory veg. Throughfall Soil water Weathering Deer, birds Soil (litter, humus, minerals) Surface water Decomposition mineralization Root uptake Groundwater Runoff Observatories Credit: Michael Mirtl

  8. Issues • Adequate spatial and temporal scales and resolution • Capabilities for event response and comparing systems • Up- and down scaling problems • Remote operation of observatory for users

  9. Physicalinfrastructure Interconnectedcollections Facilities for measuring (species and functional) diversity Empowerhuman observers with theirinterpretations Wireless) sensors (DNA sequencebased, etc) Dedicated “biodiversity” satellites Mesocosms and other experimentalfacilities

  10. e-Infrastructure challenges • Complex data sets with different spatial, temporal and thematic resolutions • Data discovery and data filtering: fitness for use • Data integration with data and meta data from different application domains • Workflow development for analysis and modelling • Re-applicability and provenance control • Visualization of results

  11. Global Biodiversity Informatics Outlook

  12. EU Knowledge Network (contributes to IPBES) EU BON (Support to GEO BON) ViBRANT (virtual environment for taxonomy) BioVEL- Biodiversity Virtual Laboratories OpenBio (EU-Brazil cooperation) CloudConnect (EU-Brazil cooperation) ENVRI (Cooperating environmental research infrastructures - data discovery & data processing) Pro-iBiosphere (standards & interoperabilty) EBI genomic data; PESI; BioCASE; GBIF; LTER-Europe; MARS; PANGEA EUDAT LifeWatch

  13. LifeWatch:bringing distributed facilities together
