Purpose: Overview of state and trends of biodiversity
• Measure state and trends of biodiversity in natural ecosystems, including the cultural landscape.
• Reflect threats to biodiversity: The combined effect of all pressure.
• Combines current biodiversity knowledge in a common conceptual framework (expert-judgements and monitoring data).
• Measurement tool for government policy and management

Several scaling models: several way of using the reference condition.
Reference state ist the ”ideal’ state for the ecosystem. Model decided by each expert.

What are new in the methods?
www.dirnat.no
Similarities
Major ecosystems
Reference is low impacted nature/ traditionally managed. Value set for each indicator
State is measured by relative changes in population
•Water Frame Directive•Living Planet Index•Natural Capital Index/ Globio•Biological intactness Index.
New aspects
Criterie for what species to include
Both data and expert judgements
An uncertainty level is included for all indicators
3 different scaling models
Includes open sea
Questions on future development 2020
Includes a cross sectoral research institutions
