This document discusses developing a global biodiversity indicator for use in resource policies. It analyzes several existing biodiversity impact assessment methods (MSA, ReCiPe, TNO) and concludes that combining features of these methods could create a more accurate indicator for comparing biodiversity impacts of different land use intensities, locations, crops, and biotic vs fossil products. The ReCiPe method currently provides the most suitable approach but could be improved by incorporating elements of the MSA and TNO methods such as restoration modeling and factors for biome uniqueness. Case studies show the indicators generally agree but give different outcomes for cases like organic vs conventional farming.
