IBIF: Intactness-based biodiversity impact factors

The intactness-based biodiversity impact factors (IBIF) dataset contains a set of consistent country-level biodiversity impact factors (BIFs) that can be used to attribute losses in local terrestrial biodiversity intactness to emissions and extractions associated with production and consumption. The BIFs were obtained with the global biodiversity model GLOBIO, which quantifies local biodiversity intactness based on the mean species abundance (MSA) indicator. IBIF (v2) contains BIFs for five environmental pressures (CO₂ emissions, NH₃ emissions, NO_x emissions, land use (five categories) and roads) for 234 countries. For more information on how the factors were established, please see the accompanying journal article, available at:
