This project is part of the B-Cubed initiative, which develops and applies biodiversity indicators using regional datasets. In this case study, the B-Cubed workflows are tested for Flanders, a region in Europe with abundant species occurrence data.

The focus is on several types of indicators:

• General biodiversity indicators (e.g., cumulative species richness, relative species richness)
• Phylogenetic indicators (via pdindicatoR)
• Invasive Alien Species indicators (via impIndicator) extended with additional reporting indicators
• Extra attention is given to comparisons between Natura 2000 vs. non-Natura 2000 habitats, uncertainty estimation, and survey effort.

🎯 Dashboard Objective

The associated dashboard visualizes the selected indicators and serves as inspiration for other dashboards (e.g., the Alien Species Portal and the Flemish Biodiversity Portal). The dashboard provides:

• Visualizations of general, phylogenetic, and invasive species indicators
• Comparison between habitats
• Open access to code and results for reuse and interoperability
