ABSTRACT

Conservation and management of biological diversity is central to human health and well-being. The EU-funded LIFE project “hELlenic BIOodiversity Information System: An innovative tool for biodiversity conservation – LIFE ELBIOS” project aims to contribute in EU and national policies by designing, developing and implementing a central biodiversity information system, “EL-BIOS”, operated by the Greek Natural Environment and Climate Change Agency (NECCA). In this work, we present the development framework of the EL-BIOS EO Data Cube, a service that provides access to biodiversity indicators and variables in analysis ready form, based on Open Data Cube framework for big data management and web service applications. Using freely available Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery, six nationalscale and four local-scale biodiversity indicators are generated in a spatial and temporal systematic framework for assessing and monitoring biodiversity state and condition.

This work was implemented in the framework of the LIFE EL-BIOS project “hELlenic BIOdiversity Information System: An innovative tool for biodiversity conservation”. The LIFE EL-BIOS project (LIFE20 GIE/GR/001317) is co-financed by the LIFE Programme of the European Union and Green Fund.
