About
How have people and climate change affected Earth’s past biodiversity?
This project aims to demonstrate the availability of a long-term record of biodiversity data which could be used to understand the biodiversity implications of the current climate and extinction crisis.
Data within relational database(s):
- Space, global but mainly Europe
- Time, up to one million years, most <16,000 years
- 5086 taxa (~species)
- 22 ecological variables for taxa
- > 8700 soil samples, > 200,000 fossil record entries, > 780,000 occurrences
- Sourced from >1000 publications
- Much variation in quality (temporal accuracy +/- 1 year to ~250,000 years)
