In the EU, mapping and assessment of ecosystems their services, abbreviated to MAES, is seen as a key action for advancement biodiversity objectives, also inform development implementation related policies on water, climate, agriculture, forest, marine regional planning. this study, we present an analytical framework which ensures that consistent approaches are used throughout EU. It framed by broad set policy questions structured around conceptual links human societies well-being with...

With agricultural areas covering almost half of European land, proper management agro-ecosystems is key to achieve the Union’s environmental and climate objectives. This requires spatially explicit methods indicators. We developed an approach for classification land by combining two main dimensions i) cover, using detailed geo-spatialized census data 63 individual crops; ii) intensity, measured as anthropogenic energy required in primary crop production. As a result we identified 10 systems...
Following the inclusion of ecosystem services in new global and national post 2010 biodiversity policies, this report addresses need to upgrade knowledge basis their social economic values order inform ongoing policy design decision making processes. In particular, study addressed present research capacity map, assess as well implications for different community regional policies.
