Monitoring Strategies and Tools to address knowledge gaps on aquatic Fungal biodiversity




MoSTFun is Biodiversa+ funded project that aims at including aquatic fungi (i.e. fungi living in freshwater and marine ecosystems) in biodiversity monitoring programs. Aquatic fungi are crucial in ecosystems processes, but they are overlook in current monitoring programmes.

The
MoSTFun
Way

Preview

Test monitoring programs to include aquatic fungi taxonomic and functional diversity.


Fill methodological knowledge gaps to make aquatic fungi routine monitoring possible and effective.


Develop datasets on aquatic fungi including understudied ecosystems (estuaries, coastal, glacial).


Integrate different data and technologies to develop a new set of EBVs.


Engage stakeholders through an Aquatic Fungi Knowledge-to-Action Hub.

Working together to include aquatic fungi biodiversity in monitoring routines!

MoSTFun is one of the 33 projects funded in the Biodiversa+ and the European Union joint call for projects in 2022 on “Improved transnational monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem change for science and society” (BiodivMon). Biodiversa+ is the European Biodiversity Partnership supporting excellent research on biodiversity with an impact for society and policy. This call represents a financial commitment of more than 46 million Euro from the participating countries and co-funding from the European Commission.
