Why?
| Project Objective: | GloBAM aims to make a major step forward in characterizing and quantifying the biomass flows of aerial migrants from regional to continental scales in Europe and North America and over time-scales from days to years from existing continental-scale networks of weather radars. |
| Call Objective: | The Call addresses two major (non-exclusive) priorities: - Development and application of scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions. - Consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in biodiversity scenarios. |
