Objective
WP 2 strives to bring forward the assessment of spatially explicit ES potential, flow and demand budgets within decision-making processes. It does so by developing a better understanding of the ES-related effects of Green Infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on the spatio-temporal relationships between service-providing and service-benefiting units as well as the inherent trade-offs between ES and ecosystem disservices.
Main tasks
Task 2.1: Conduct capacity matrix assessment of ES on structured landscapes
Task 2.2: Quantify ES, based on GI habitat attributes
Task 2.3: Map ES and EDS supply
