      <title>Western Balkans amphibian biodiversity facets</title>
      <link>https://glowabio.org/project/western_balkans_amphibians/</link>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mapping the complementary amphibian biodiversity facets across the Western Balkans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;alert alert-note&#34;&gt;
  &lt;div&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;You can be part of this project!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are looking for species occurrence data for the following countries:
Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia &amp;amp; Herzegovina, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you wish to help by providing data, please contact: &lt;a href=&#34;mailto:kristi.bego@igb-berlin.de&#34;&gt;kristi.bego@igb-berlin.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Freshwater ecosystems cover less than one percent of the Earth&amp;rsquo;s surface but house over 12% of all recorded species, and over 33% of vertebrates. The services provided by these ecosystems are invaluable, and yet there is an ongoing freshwater crisis that has been slowly building up over the years as water demand continues to grow. As a result there has been a continuous decline in freshwater vertebrate populations since the 1970s, a trend which is still on a downward slope. Among vertebrates, amphibians stand out globally as the most threatened vertebrate group according to IUCN (2020), however they don&amp;rsquo;t receive the same conservation attention and often get overlooked, as is the case with amphibians still not being included in the EU Water Framework Directive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Western Balkans is often regarded as a biodiversity hotspot, with amphibians representing a key biodiversity group for this region. It is home to 29 amphibian species, including endemic and protected species, with countries like Croatia hosting 25% of all european amphibian species. The typical threats to populations in the Balkans are  habitat destruction, alteration and fragmentation, pollution, UV-B radiation, disease, introduced species, exploitation, climate change and more. This emphasizes the conservation interest in amphibians of the Balkan region as a whole.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this project we will be studying the spatial species and functional diversity patterns of amphibians in the Western Balkan biodiversity hotspot. We will evaluate the spatial similarity and uniqueness of these diversity patterns by investigating both local connectivity and upstream/downstream connectivity at the same time. We also aim to identify possible priority conservation areas, by highlighting areas where these biodiversity facets can be spatially prioritized. Essentially, we wish to know how congruent amphibian species and functional diversity patterns are between them, and how contigent are spatial prioritization areas on species &amp;amp; functional diversity patterns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To this end, we will map the species distributions of all amphibian species found in the Western Balkan region, utilizing species distribution models based on existing occurrence records. These network-based distribution models will account for connectivity among other key environmental factors to map suitable habitats for amphibians in the Western Balkans. We expect patterns of species distribution and range size to emerge across the hydrographic network of the region. Building upon the distribution models, we will investigate and map the functional trait diversity and uniqueness of amphibians in the region, to uncover possible patterns of functional drainage endemism. Finally, we will combine both of these approaches through a spatial prioritization framework to analyze hotspots of conservation importance in the Western Balkan region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ultimately through this project we expect to shed more light and broaden our understanding of the intricate environmental interactions and dynamics of amphibian populations of the Western Balkans biodiversity hotspot. We hope that the findings presented by our project will open the door to more discussions on bettering global conservation efforts, highlighting the importance and conservation interest of amphibians as a vertebrate group, as well as providing a baseline for spatial prioritization with the purpose of increasing the efficiency of said conservation efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we prepare data and vizualizations, they will be added to this page throughout the development of the project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Freshwater habitats and biodiversity require efficient protection measures calling for detailed information regarding the spatial distribution of freshwater environmental characteristics. We developed a data-driven approach to identify environmental characteristics and similarities between freshwater habitats at high-resolution and across large spatial scales. We aggregated land cover, geomorphological and climatic variables across the sub-catchments of the Hydrography90m dataset in six drainage basins across continents and climatic zones. We then employed a k-means cluster analysis and tested the effect of (i) spatial scale, (ii) the choice of environmental variables, and (iii) the combination of scale and variables, on the resulting habitat regionalization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our manuscript is in preparation and the following map shows the results of the six drainage basins (&lt;a href=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/719/view&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;click here for the fullscreen interactive map&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assessing the Freshwater Biodiversity Hotspots in West Africa and the Congo Basin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;alert alert-note&#34;&gt;
  &lt;div&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;See the online map of the new database on freshwater macroinvertebrates in the Guineo-Congolian Biodiversity Hotspot:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;raquo; &lt;a href=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/901/view&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;Click here for the visualization&lt;/a&gt; &amp;laquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The West Africa sub-region and the Congo Basin, the latter extending from Cameroon to Gabon, are two of the eight biodiversity hotspots on the African continent. The hotspots are incredibly endowered with many rare and threatened species, and outstanding freshwater systems, of which relatively few have been documented for freshwater biodiversity to date. This suggests that the freshwater ecosystems of conservation importance may be grossly underreported in these regions. This research hinges on the concept that the loss of some threatened freshwater invertebrates and freshwater ecosystems of high conservation value may be inevitable in West Africa and the Congo Basin, unless the actual and potential distributions of such species or sites are discovered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An extensive database of all available stream macroinvertebrate species occurrence records from different eco-regions of Nigeria will be prepared. We will employ open-source software such as GRASS-GIS and R to estimate the actual or potential geographical distribution of species across a newly-developed, high-resolution hydrographic network to assess biogeographic patterns of freshwater biodiversity in this unique hotspot. We will also build on the model and use future climate and land cover predictions to obtain an estimate of how species distributions might be impacted by global change. The findings of this research have a very high potential to depict the present and probable future status of Nigeria&amp;rsquo;s freshwater biodiversity and to guide conservation efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our data paper is in preparation and the following map shows the 8809 records we&amp;rsquo;ve collated (&lt;a href=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/901/view&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;click here for the fullscreen interactive map&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;!--- [![&#34;hydrographr&#34;](/hydrographr.png)](https://github.com/glowabio/hydrographr) --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have developed the GeoFRESH online platform, available at &lt;a href=&#34;http://geofresh.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;http://geofresh.org/&lt;/a&gt; that supports point data processing across the global river network by providing a set of spatial tools. GeoFRESH was a one-year pilot project funded by &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nfdi4earth.de/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;NFDI4Earth&lt;/a&gt; (DFG) and IGB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GeoFRESH allows to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;map your points,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;move points to the nearest stream network segment,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;delineate upstream catchments of each point,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;extract a suite of environmental attributes across the catchment,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;and download the data for further analyses.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>The hydrographr R-package</title>
      <link>https://glowabio.org/project/hydrographr/</link>

      <description>&lt;!--- [![&#34;hydrographr&#34;](/hydrographr.png)](https://github.com/glowabio/hydrographr) --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have developed the &lt;em&gt;hydrographr&lt;/em&gt; R-Package that facilitates the download and data processing of the &lt;a href=&#34;https://hydrography.org/hydrography90m/hydrography90m_layers/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;Hydrography90m&lt;/a&gt; data (which can be visualized at the &lt;a href=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/351/view&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;IGB-GeoNode&lt;/a&gt;). The package is maintained at &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/glowabio/hydrographr&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;https://github.com/glowabio/hydrographr&lt;/a&gt;, the installation procedure is available &lt;a href=&#34;https://glowabio.github.io/hydrographr/articles/hydrographr.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and the publication in &lt;em&gt;Methods in Ecology and Evolution&lt;/em&gt; can be found &lt;a href=&#34;https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.14226&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;hydrographr&lt;/em&gt; provides functions to allow scalable hydrographical data extraction and analysis workflows. The R-functions are wrappers around the open-source geospatial GDAL and GRASS-GIS software that run in the Linux environment and enable fast and memory-efficient data processing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will soon upload a vignette that showcases the functionality of &lt;em&gt;hydrographr&lt;/em&gt;. In the meantime, feel free to explore the package and drop us a line &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/glowabio/hydrographr/issues&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; if you have any questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We thank &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nfdi4biodiversity.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;NFDI4Biodiversity&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nfdi4earth.de/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;NFDI4Earth&lt;/a&gt; for providing the funding that helped us getting the &lt;em&gt;hydrographr&lt;/em&gt; package together!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Developing an online infrastructure</title>
      <link>https://glowabio.org/project/aquainfra/</link>
      <pubDate>Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The AquaInfra Project - &lt;a href=&#34;https://aquainfra.eu/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;https://aquainfra.eu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AquaINFRA project aims to develop a virtual environment equipped with FAIR multi-disciplinary data and services to support marine and freshwater scientists and stakeholders restoring healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters. The AquaINFRA virtual environment will enable the target stakeholders to store, share, access, analyse and process research data and other research digital objects from their own discipline, across research infrastructures, disciplines and national borders leveraging on EOSC and the other existing operational dataspaces. Besides supporting the ongoing development of the EOSC as an overarching research infrastructure, AquaINFRA is addressing the specific need for enabling researchers from the marine and freshwater communities to work and collaborate across those two domains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A specific goal of AquaINFRA will be to develop an EOSC based research infrastructure combining the marine and freshwater domains, which will include the development of a cross domain and cross-country search and discovery mechanism as well as building services for spatio-temporal analysis and modelling through Virtual Research Environments. A set of strategic use cases including a Pan-European use case as well as more focused use cases in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Mediterranean will provide the setting for co-designing and testing services in the targeted research communities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AquaINFRA project results are expected to contribute to the utilisation of EOSC as an overarching research infrastructure enabling collaboration across the domains of marine and freshwater scientists and stakeholders working on restoring of healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Safe operating space for water resources</title>
      <link>https://glowabio.org/project/sos_water/</link>

      <guid>https://glowabio.org/project/sos_water/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The SOS-Water Project - &lt;a href=&#34;https://sos-water.eu/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;https://sos-water.eu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pressure on water resources has been mounting in the last decades and continues to grow worldwide, driven by increasing demand for food and energy, improving standards of living and complicated by regional water governance and climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SOS-Water is a EU-funded project, started in October 2022, which aims to define a safe operating space (SOS) for the water resources, accounting concurrently for all relevant water dimensions across multiple sectors and spatial scales under the influence of socio-economic, policy, technological, and climatic changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This framework aims to operationalize and downscale the global freshwater SOS to the continental and river basin levels, by integrating water system models (WSMs) in five different case studies in Europe and abroad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out the project website at &lt;a href=&#34;https://sos-water.eu&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;https://sos-water.eu&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;Our EPTO data paper has been published in &lt;em&gt;Global Ecology and Biogeography&lt;/em&gt; ! Many thanks again to all co-authors and data providers for putting this together!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Global biodiversity is declining rapidly worldwide, and among terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems, freshwaters are particularly vulnerable. These fragmented ecosystems cover less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, yet they harbour approximately 10% of all described species.
Aquatic insects contribute to freshwater diversity by approximately 60% as the largest and most diverse taxa group, and given this substantial proportion, aquatic insects may be considered as a proxy for freshwater biodiversity and ecological state of a given habitat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have collated, together with nearly 100 co-authors, a global database of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata (EPTO) occurrences comprising more than 8 million records. The data can be downloaded &lt;a href=&#34;https://doi.org/10.18728/igb-fred-811.0&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and visualized &lt;a href=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/609/view&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Thesis topic: &lt;em&gt;Influence of land-cover on suitable fish habitats in Colombia’s inland waters considering the &amp;ldquo;Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP)&amp;rdquo; scenarios&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Freshwater ecosystems are becoming increasingly degraded and freshwater species diversity is declining drastically. Anthropological influences, such as land-cover change, play an important role in these processes. In Latin America, freshwater fish show high rates of diversity and endemism. At the same time, ecosystems in Latin America are threatened by high rates of land-cover change. Therefore, Colombia, endowed with a great habitat diversity and species richness due to a combination of altitude, climate and geographic location, but also distinct land-cover dynamics, was chosen as a case study for this work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The objective of the thesis was (i) to consider the land-cover types prevalent, past trends of land-cover change and future land-cover changes projected according to the shared socioeconomic pathway scenarios (SSPs) (ii) to discern the influence of environmental factors, including land-cover, on suitable habitats of Colombian fish species and (iii) to project the possible future development of fish habitats and species richness. The main tools used for these analysis were land-cover modelling (with Dinamica EGO) and species distribution modelling (with BIOMOD).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The analysis of past land-cover changes shows that factors such as demand or policies contribute to both increases and decreases in agricultural land expansion and deforestation and also that trends are not stable. The land-cover projections are driven by population development, nutrition or technological progress assumptions incorporated in the SSP scenarios and thus represent the trends of &amp;ldquo;Sustainability&amp;rdquo; (SSP1), &amp;ldquo;Middle of the road&amp;rdquo; (SSP2), &amp;ldquo;Regional rivalry&amp;rdquo; (SSP3), &amp;ldquo;Inequality&amp;rdquo; (SSP4) or &amp;ldquo;Fossil-fueled development&amp;rdquo; (SSP5).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The projected landcover change for a larger window of Colombia until 2070 following the SSP1 storyline:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;iframe src=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/681/embed&#34; min-width : 900px ; style=&#34;position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;&#34; title=&#34;Landcover change&#34; webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Across all 1,209 modelled fish species, models suggest that until 2050 and 2070 species richness in the study area will increase and spatial expansion of suitable habitats will occur. Land-cover, unlike climate, had a poor contribution to the projection of changes in habitat development and species richness. As a function of present temperature and precipitation in projected suitable habitats, future habitats of species in presently warmer habitats are projected to have more area, higher elevation on average and lower flow accumulation, than species with lower mean present habitat temperatures. For the Colombian endemic species (n=219) analysed - more likely projected in lower-temperature sub-catchments - the species distribution model projects stagnating future richness, decreasing habitat area, a shift to higher elevated habitats as well as higher extinction rates compared to non-endemic species.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Migration, expansion or extinction of certain fish species, caused, altered or accelerated by changes in environmental conditions, for example by climate change, are likely to affect the composition, diversity, function, and services of fish communities, further impacting the whole freshwater ecosystem and also structures and systems beyond. Projecting potential future environmental changes and species distributions through models can accordingly help identify factors that may affect species populations or locate places where threats to certain species are particularly high so that appropriate conservation planning steps can be taken.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Conservation planning across Colombia</title>
      <link>https://glowabio.org/project/colombia_conservation/</link>

  &lt;div&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;See the online map of the fish prioritization maps across Colombia:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;raquo; &lt;a href=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/290/view&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;Click here for the visualization&lt;/a&gt; &amp;laquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colombia forms one of the global freshwater biodiversity hotspots, home to 1494 freshwater fish species. This exceptional fish fauna has, however, rarely been considered when selecting areas for biodiversity conservation. This study integrates freshwater fish distributions into a spatial prioritization exercise to assess to which extent (i) freshwater biodiversity, using fish as a proxy, is currently represented within the existing protected areas, and (ii) if alternative protected area networks may have the potential to increase the number of fish species under protection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At first all available fish data was collated, resulting in a data base of over 112,535 geographic occurrences of 1224 freshwater fishes across Colombia with harmonized nomenclature and revised geo-referenced coordinates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on a digital elevation model at 1 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; resolution, the stream network was delineated with a minimum catchment size of 90 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; and extracted the corresponding 33,612 sub-catchments that served as spatial units within the analyses. In the next step fish occurrence data and environmental variables (climate, topography, land cover, hydrology) were aggregated across the sub-catchments and an ensemble of species distribution modelling algorithms was employed to project suitable habitat of each fish species across the study area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the principles of systematic conservation planning, integer linear programming was applied to delineate a hypothetical protected area network that fulfills minimum, predefined conservation targets for each fish species, i.e. maximizing species representativeness and connectivity among river catchments, while minimizing the cost of anthropogenic impact, represented by the human footprint index and required area for protection. This spatial prioritization was carried out for four different conservation targets, set to protect 20 %, 30 %, 40 % and 50 % of each fish species suitable habitats in the priority network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The projected suitable habitats of freshwater fish show high species richness in the Amazon and Orinoco basins while endemic and threatened fish mainly are projected for the Magdalena-Cauca and Pacific-Choco region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stacking the individual fish predictions gives an estimate of species richness (low: purple, high:yellow), where red points represent the fish sampling occurences:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The calculated total area of the hypothetical priority area network is between 279,077 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; and 754,400 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; for the different conservation targets. It represents 12.1 % – 32.6 % of the study area, needed for the conservation of 20 % - 50 % of 1224 Colombian freshwater fish species. Most sub-catchments are prioritized in the Amazon and Orinoco basins and the least in the Caribbean basins. The priority network extents into the neighboring countries of Colombia, signifying the need of transboundary cooperation in freshwater conservation. Between 9.2 % to 28.2 % of Colombia’s protected areas coincide with the projected priority area network. A sensitivity analysis, locking in the existing protected areas in the spatial prioritization solution, reveals a priority area network 16.3 % to 34.7 % larger than that of the minimum cost priority network. It indicates that the existing protected areas inadequately represent freshwater fish in Colombia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conservation efforts are best focused on the Magdalena-Cauca and Pacific-Choco basins for the expansion of protected areas, since the majority of endemic and threatened fish species occurs within those basins. This thesis represents a first important step in the integration of freshwater biodiversity for spatial area prioritization and can serve as a baseline scenario for future conservation planning exercises in Colombia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Potential protected areas for this region are represented in red, here for a target of 20% of the suitable habitat of each 1224 freshwater fish in Colombia, accounting for the lowest human footprint index and sub-catchment size:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Geomorphho90m&lt;/strong&gt; dataset&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Topographical relief comprises the vertical and horizontal variations of the Earth’s terrain and drives processes in geomorphology, biogeography, climatology, hydrology and ecology. Its characterisation and assessment, through geomorphometry and feature extraction, is fundamental to numerous environmental modelling and simulation analyses. We developed the Geomorpho90m global dataset comprising of different geomorphometric features derived from the MERIT-Digital Elevation Model (DEM) - the best global, high-resolution DEM available. The fully-standardised 26 geomorphometric variables consist of layers that describe the (i) rate of change across the elevation gradient, using first and second derivatives, (ii) ruggedness, and (iii) geomorphological forms. The Geomorpho90m variables are available at 3 (~90 m) and 7.5 arc-second (~250 m) resolutions under the WGS84 geodetic datum, and 100 m spatial resolution under the Equi7 projection. They are useful for modelling applications in fields such as geomorphology, geology, hydrology, ecology and biogeography.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Hydography90m&lt;/strong&gt; dataset&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;raquo; &lt;a href=&#34;https://geo.igb-berlin.de/maps/351/view#/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;Click here for the visualization&lt;/a&gt; &amp;laquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We used the MERIT Hydro Digital Elevation Model at 3 arc-sec (∼90 m at the equator) to derive a globally seamless, standardised hydrographic network, the &amp;ldquo;Hydrography90m&amp;rdquo;, with corresponding stream topographic and topologicalinformation. A central feature of the network is the minimal upstream contributing area, i.e. flow accumulation,of 0.05 km2 (or 5 ha) to initiate a stream channel, which allowed us to extract headwater stream channels ingreat detail. By employing a suite of GRASS GIS hydrological modules, we calculated the range-wide upstreamflow accumulation and flow direction to delineate a total of 1.6 million drainage basins, and extracted globallya total of 726 million unique stream segments with their corresponding sub-catchments. In addition, we computed stream topographic variables comprising stream slope, gradient, length, and curvature attributes, as wellas stream topological variables to allow for network routing and various stream order classifications. We validated the spatial accuracy and flow accumulation of Hydrography90m against NHDPlus HR, an independent,national high-resolution hydrographic network dataset of the United States. Our validation shows that the newly developed Hydrography90m has the highest spatial precision, and contains more headwater stream channels compared to three other global hydrographic datasets. This inclusive approach provides a vital, and long-overdue baseline for assessing actual streamflow in headwaters, and opens new research avenues for high-resolution studies of surface water worldwide. Hydrography90m thus offers significant potential to facilitate the assessment offreshwater quantity and quality, inundation risk, biodiversity and conservation, as well as resource managementobjectives in a globally comprehensive and standardised manner. We provide all the computed layers for visualisation and download in 20° × 20° tiles.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Protected areas in Cuba</title>
      <link>https://glowabio.org/project/cuba_biodiversity/</link>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Freshwater ecosystems are among the most biodiverse and the most important providers of services to humans globally. Unfortunately, these ecosystems are also among the most threatened in the world. In Cuba, the main threats to freshwater ecosystems are climate change and habitat loss and fragmentation induced by land use/land cover change (LULC). Cuba’s National System of Protected Areas (in short SNAP for Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas) is the main tool to protect biodiversity across the country. However, SNAP was not explicitly designed to account for freshwater biodiversity, ecosystem services, river’s connectivity and future scenarios of climate and LULC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main goal of the present project is to assess the protection offered by SNAP to freshwater biodiversity and to the provision of freshwater ecosystem services, considering the present conditions and future climate and land use/land cover change scenarios across Cuba. We expect to identify a hypothetical network of protected areas that should assure targets for biodiversity and ecosystem services in the present and future environmental conditions, at the lowest possible cost.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Current freshwater conservation efforts fall short in effectively protecting freshwater biodiversity. Acknowledging the challenge in freshwater conservation management, further assessments are needed regarding the efficiency of conservation planning. We aim to analyze global, systematic conservation planning networks given the key features habitat and biodiversity to (i) highlight areas of irreplaceability within freshwater ecosystems, and (ii) to compare the effectiveness of present-day conservation efforts vs. alternative, prioritized freshwater conservation planning solutions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This example contains the following steps:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Download an exemplary digital elevation model (DEM)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Extract the stream network from the DEM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Delineate major drainage basins&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Crop data to a sub-basin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Calculate the sub-watersheds for each stream grid cell (&lt;em&gt;r.stream.watersheds&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Calculate contiguous stream-specific variables (&lt;em&gt;r.stream.variables&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

    The add-ons have been tested in the Linux environment. Microsoft Windows users: consider installing the OSGEO-Live Virtual machine that has GRASS GIS 7 already installed and is ready to use. Alternatively you can run the add-ons via QGIS.
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create and enter the folder where the data will be stored:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;cl&#34;&gt;cd $INDIR
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Download the script&lt;/p&gt;

abstract = &amp;ldquo;Global change has the potential to affect river flow conditions which are fundamental determinants of physical habitats. Predictions of the effects of flow alterations on aquatic biota have mostly been assessed based on species ecological traits (e.g., current preferences), which are difficult to link to quantitative discharge data. Alternatively, we used empirically derived predictive relationships for species’ response to flow to assess the effect of flow alterations due to climate change in two contrasting central European river catchments. Predictive relationships were set up for 294 individual species based on (1) abundance data from 223 sampling sites in the Kinzig lower‐mountainous catchment and 67 sites in the Treene lowland catchment, and (2) flow conditions at these sites described by five flow metrics quantifying the duration, frequency, magnitude, timing and rate of flow events using present‐day gauging data. Species’ abundances were predicted for three periods: (1) baseline (1998–2017), (2) horizon 2050 (2046–2065) and (3) horizon 2090 (2080–2099) based on these empirical relationships and using high‐resolution modeled discharge data for the present and future climate conditions. We compared the differences in predicted abundances among periods for individual species at each site, where the percent change served as a proxy to assess the potential species responses to flow alterations. Climate change was predicted to most strongly affect the low‐flow conditions, leading to decreased abundances of species up to −42%. Finally combining the response of all species over all metrics indicated increasing overall species assemblage responses in 98% of the studied river reaches in both projected horizons and were significantly larger in the lower‐mountainous Kinzig compared to the lowland Treene catchment. Such quantitative analyses of freshwater taxa responses to flow alterations provide valuable tools for predicting potential climate‐change impacts on species abundances and can be applied to any stressor, species, or region.&amp;rdquo;

abstract = &amp;ldquo;Modelling and mapping habitat suitability of species in a given study area has become a popular method to assess biogeographical questions on the habitat requirements of species, and to study the effects of land use or climate change on species distributions. Beside purely academic aims, model projections are increasingly used for devising conservation and management strategies and they are an established tool in conservation planning. Species distribution models (SDMs) link geographic presence records of species with environmental conditions found at these locations, and extrapolate the occurrence probabilities of species throughout the study area. While the modelling framework is similar in the terrestrial, marine and freshwater realms, each realm comprises specific challenges for combining the spatial scale, the environmental data and the species records for building reliable models. In this paper, we focus on these key issues from a stream ecology perspective and highlight three critical challenges to be kept in mind when building SDMs in stream ecosystems: (1) the spatial configuration in terms of the hierarchical structure of catchments and dendritic stream networks; (2) obtaining relevant and spatially continuous environmental predictors along the stream network, sourcing from three interfaces (stream vs. atmosphere, catchment area, groundwater) and (3) species detectability and thus the challenge of obtaining freshwater species occurrence data along the stream network. To depict freshwater species distributions at the stream level in the best possible way, multi-scale models are recommended, which account for scale dependence, a stronger integration of various environmental data types and sources, and heterogeneous species data. While model projections have the potential to serve as reliable tools for conservation and management purposes, this is only true if these relevant factors are considered in the modelling framework. &amp;quot;
