BioAtlas Sweden / GBIF-Sweden

Summary

Driven by scientific opportunity and societal challenges, biodiversity and ecosystems research are rapidly developing into big-data sciences, modeling processes that affect entire biotas and predicting system-wide effects of environmental change. Biodiversity Atlas Sweden (SBDI/BAS) is a research infrastructure that provides data and analysis services that offer rich opportunities for innovative, interdisciplinary research on biodiversity and ecosystems. SBDI/BAS will also meet societal demands for environmental monitoring and biodiversity assessment tools. SBDI/BAS comprises GBIF-Sweden which is a partner in the global network for biodiversity data provisioning.
