# Second preprint of the LIFE biodiversity metric available *2024-07-01 — note* We have made an update to the [LIFE](https://anil.recoil.org/projects/life) biodiversity metric based on reviewer feedback, and are very pleased that it has been accepted for publication early next year as part of a special issue from the Royal Society. Any comments would be most welcome before we submit the final proofs in a few months. The revisions incorporated feedback from peer reviewers and represent an improved version of the methodology. Getting accepted for the Royal Society special issue is particularly exciting as it means the LIFE metric will be published alongside other important contributions to biodiversity science. This metric has already proven useful in our work on food systems and will hopefully become a widely-used tool for quantifying biodiversity impacts across diverse applications. Synopsis: Updated LIFE biodiversity metric preprint based on reviewer feedback, accepted for publication in Royal Society special issue.
