United Kingdom biodiversity data

Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) is a biophysical dimensionless quantity (its values range from 0/no absorption to 1/total absorption) used to assess the greenness and health of vegetation. FAPAR anomalies can be used as an indicator to detect and monitor the impacts of agricultural drought on the growth and productivity of vegetation. The data is presented in 10-day time composite of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).

The Scottish Wildlife Trust manages over 15,000 hectares of Scotland for the benefit of both people and wildlife. Our work is varied, from protecting ospreys to peatland restoration and bringing back Atlantic woodlands on a landscape scale. The majority of work on our reserves is carried out by our dedicated Reserve Project Groups which are made up of committed volunteers who lend their time to help with hands on conservation work.
