B-Cubed’s training series continued with a session on Occurrence cubes and biological invasions. Even if you missed previous sessions, you can still register here to join the upcoming ones.
The second session, held on 27 February, focused on occurrence cubes and their application to biological invasions.
During the session, Maarten Trekels (Meise Botanic Garden) presented the possibilities of the b3alien Python package, which provides a technical solution to support tracking Target 6 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF).
Sandra MacFadyen (Stellenbosch University) delved into the details of the Invasibility Cube, which integrates trait, environmental (and site), and community (species) data to quantify invasion fitness and generate spatial indicators of site invasibility and species and/or trait invasiveness.
The session concluded by answering participants’ questions during the Q&A.
Participants also have access to tutorials and practical guides via the B-Cubed documentation website: https://docs.b-cubed.eu
Stay tuned for the next session on 6 March → Indicators for national invasion reporting.
