Resource description:
Each indicator is composed of one or more measures which will show trends over time. Many indicators have only a single measure, but where it does not make sense to combine data, the indicator will have more than one measure. Each measure is summarised or assessed separately and grouped into one of four categories: Improving, Little or no overall change, Deteriorating, Insufficient or no comparable data.
Where possible, the assessment has been made by evaluating trends using statistical analysis techniques. The England and UK Biodiversity Indicators are accredited official statistics compendiums, otherwise known as National Statistics. The Biodiversity Indicators are dependent on a wide variety of data, provided by government, research bodies, and the voluntary sector.
