Abstract

Numerous indicator approaches are found in the scientific literature to describe changes in biodiversity. However, it is not clear which indicators are the most appropriate and which are less suitable for summarizing trends in biodiversity. One reason for this lack of clarity is that the mathematical properties of indicator approaches have so far received little attention. In this article, we discuss the importance of the mathematical properties for biodiversity. We summarize the mathematics for biodiversity scenarios. Finally, we present conclusions and challenges that underlie the approach and may limit the understanding of these stakeholders and their engagement. In that sense, a good strategy to adapt participatory processes to real-life applications would be to start with the identification of criteria and thresholds of feasibility before the determination of controlled dynamics, which is usually more complicated.
