#BIODIVERSITY PRO MANUAL SERIES#
A series of publications and products have been developed This physical distribution and varying monitoring history made these stations ideal for implementing the CBMP monitoring plans and documenting the process in order to provide guidance on process required to implement the CBMP monitoring plans, which hopefully will be replicated at more INTERACT stations deepening our understanding of the rapid change occurring in the Arctic.įour meetings have been held between the research stations, including one data workshop. Construction of the CHARS research station started in 2014 and will be a state-of-the-art monitoring and research centre in the Canadian north. The station has since its start included aspects related to biodiversity monitoring.
Zackenberg is a well-established monitoring station operating since 1995, and in recent years under the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring programme (GEM). In this way, monitoring at the station will provide a valuable contribution to ecological monitoring in Arctic regions.
#BIODIVERSITY PRO MANUAL HOW TO#
With RFS being in its initial phases in an area with very little established monitoring, the station offers a unique opportunity to serve as a model for how to use the protocols of the CBMP program to set up successful biodiversity monitoring. Three research stations were chosen for the implementation of the CBMP monitoring plans and they are the Rif Field Station (RFS) in Melrakkaslétta peninsula in the Northeast of Iceland, the Zackenberg research station East Greenland and the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS) in Cambridge bay Canada.
The goal of the CBMP monitoring plans is to harmonize and integrate efforts to monitor the Arctic's living resources through a network of scientists, governments, Indigenous organizations and conservation groups. Through this harmonization and integration, the monitoring plans will facilitate more rapid detection, communication, and response to the significant pressures affecting the circumpolar world. Led by CAFF, the biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council, the overall goal of INTERACT Work Package 7 " Improving and harmonizing biodiversity monitoring" is to impliment the circumpolar Freshwater and Terrestrial Arctic biodiversity monitoring plans of the CAFFs Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Programme (CBMP) at INTERACT stations.
