Abstract

In this strategic project funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DSIT) under the National Measurement System (NMS), the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the National Measurement Laboratory (NML at LGC) explored the measurement challenges and stakeholder needs for the use of airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) for biodiversity monitoring. This was identified through engagement with external stakeholders and a review of policy, industry and research outputs. The aim of this project was to understand where metrology research and measurement science can be focused to address some of the key barriers and measurement challenges to collecting, analysing and utilising airborne eDNA for biodiversity monitoring
