Complementary Accounting Network

Combines both monetary and non-monetary aspects. Captures economic, ecological and socio-cultural dimensions (e.g., biodiversity and ecosystem services losses and gains, ecosystem health, inequality) over time at both national, regional or local scales.

EcoSEM

A simplified and highly visual representation of the different cause-and-effect relationships among the environmental components from which ecosystem function and services emerge.

EUTROPY

Model to integrate nutrient loading pathways, ecosystem responses, and management scenarios in aquatic systems. It provides simplified long-term simulations of scenarios across lakes, lagoons, estuaries, and coastal waters.

eDNA

Environmental DNA (eDNA) from organisms is detectable in the environment, using shed material (skin, mucus, faeces etc.). It traces the presence of species without need for capture or direct observations.

Metric of Habitat Function

Assesses and visualises the capacity of benthic habitats to sustain key ecosystem functions across the seascape. Standardises the potential contribution of processes such as nutrient cycling, primary production, bioturbation and carbon storage.
