Summary
This article discusses digital twins as an emerging approach for integrated ecosystem analysis and research. Digital twins are described as innovative tools that capture species interactions, biodiversity dynamics, and ecosystem carrying capacity. They are characterized by being tailored to specific ecosystems, enabling dynamic interaction between digital and physical systems, integrating diverse data sources, combining complementary models, and facilitating scenario studies. The development of ecosystem digital twins is presented as instrumental for addressing biodiversity loss and enhancing climate resilience, made timely by recent breakthroughs in digital technologies.

· 4 pulledDigital twins can be characterised as (i) being tailored to and behave like a specific ecosystem, and as such accepted by empiricists as representing a description of a real ecosystem
(ii) having a dynamic interaction between the digital twin and the physical ecosystem
(iii) integrating diverse information and data sources, (iv) combining complementary models, and (v) enabling scenario studies
Development of digital twins of ecosystems are instrumental to bend the curve of biodiversity loss and enhance climate resilience, and is timely because of breakthroughs in digital technologies
