The main consideration when creating the BioDT technical platform was enabling the developed digital twins (DT) deployable at different sites, making their integration simple, provisioning well-defined APIs, and supporting digital twin development.

Challenges to food security in the 21st century:

Phylogenetic diversity indices evaluate biological communities from the perspective of the evolutionary interrelationship between species, and thus, help to maximise taxonomic, genetic, or functional diversity conservation effectiveness.

This BioDT use case covers Wild boar–African Swine Fever (ASF) modelling is one of two Use Cases under the Disease Outbreaks umbrella and with the Pollinators model will populate and demonstrate this part of the Biodiversity Digital Twin.

This BioDT use case will help researchers and monitoring initiatives to prioritize localities for further sampling with eDNA metabarcoding. New samples will update the model and recalculate priorities. DNA-based efficiently target organisms that normally receive little attention, e.g.

The use case will focus on the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland initially as a proof-of-concept study, we aim to consider other areas and different species in future work.

In this BioDT use case, we study the impact of various forest management strategies (regimes or treatment options) and climate change scenarios on forests and biodiversity.

While productivity is typically the focus of grassland site management, plant biodiversity is another important characteristic of grasslands, which does not necessarily coincide with high productivity.
