What Does BEWS Stand For?

BEWS stands for Biological Early Warning Systems

BEWS, or Biological Early Warning Systems, refers to a set of monitoring tools and methodologies designed to detect and assess changes in biological indicators within ecosystems. These systems aim to provide early warnings of potential ecological disturbances, such as pollution or climate change, by observing shifts in species populations, community structures, and ecosystem functions. By identifying these changes promptly, BEWS can facilitate timely intervention and management strategies to protect biodiversity and maintain ecological balance.
