Spatial framework for assessing evidence needs for operational ecosystem approaches 2012

Abstract

The ecosystem services approach is a key element of planning for sustainable development. This report outlines the results of a study undertaken for the JNCC to develop the use of spatially based biodiversity data for the delivery of work on ecosystem services.

This report is accompanied by a User Guide and a list of datasets (provided in the technical documentation zipped folder) considered suitable for ecosystems services modelling. A follow-on workshop was held in 2012 with representatives from the UK country nature conservation bodies to discuss the outputs from this report.

Phase two of this project ‘Further development of a spatial framework for mapping ecosystem services’ (JNCC Report No. 514) continues on from this work to help design and monitor management strategies.
