SISEBIO Definition
Structure based on the selection of:
Levels
• What biodiversity to monitor?
Components
• Which groups for each level?
Elements
• What are the current monitoring projects?
Indicators
• What information we obtein?

Representation?
Communities: depend on ecosystem function

Projects
Adjusting the current monitoring initiatives
Communities and habitats monitoring
Regional scale
Wider representation of components: functional groups/habitats
Prioritization criteria : Indicator: number of publications as indicators
Common: number of taxa
Expertise: number of publications in Spain
Easy: field/laboratory effort relation
Standard: Is an European project?
Social: number of projects in Europe
