sMon - Analysing trends in German species data

sMon is a Synthesis Project of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig. We aim at combining and harmonizing exemplary  datasets of different taxa and habitats and to evaluate the potentials  and limits for analyzing changes in the state of biodiversity  in  Germany.
Based on these insights, we will derive perspective for future  biodiversity monitoring programs in Germany.
