European wild bird indicators, 2020 update

June 30, 2020

The Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PECBMS) presents a set of updated European wild bird indicators for the period 1980–2017 and estimates for the year 2018. The values of indicators for the year 2018 are estimated by moving average in the whole set of indicators. The reason for the estimation is a recent general PECBMS data set revision and implementation of the new tools running in the software environment for statistical computing and graphics R (RTRIM and RSWAN). Quality of the input data and a transparent methodology of indicators´ computation is among our top priorities. We aim for a deep data set revision implementing quality measures to make the production of the indicators faster, more transparent, and more efficient.
