===Data===
GLOBIO builds on data from literature reviews to construct relationships between biodiversity metrics ({{abbrTemplate|MSA}}) and environmental factors, such as land use, climate, and infrastructure. These are mainly local data on a large variety of ecosystems. Although systematically reviewed, representativeness is not guaranteed and bias may occur towards well-studied species groups, such as birds, and biodiversity-rich regions, such as tropical forests.
