Future perspective of zooplankton database
2009
Machida, R.J.(Tokyo Univ. (Japan). Ocean Research Inst.)
A large number of biological information databases have been recently constructed. Two factors could be considered primary causes for the increase. First, there is demand for estimation of the impact of climate change on organisms. Second, recent advances in information technology have made data sharing widely available. One possible use of this biological information is through integration of these data with earth observation systems. Physical, chemical, and meteorological data have been effectively integrated into earth observation systems, but relatively little biological information is available in these systems. Integration of biological data would enable better assessment of the effects of climate change and environment problems on organisms. In the present study, I discuss the promise and pitfalls of biological information databases, and make several recommendations for future data collections.
