Ecosystem service indicators for grasslands in relation to ecoclimatic regions and land use systems

Original language description

Since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, the concept of ecosystem service (ES) has been increasinglynused by scientists and policy makers. For example, the European Union launched an extensive mappingnprogram of ES mapping in all Member countries. The objective of this paper is (1) to examine the relevancenand feasibility of the assessment of ES delivered by grasslands using indicators, and (2) to questionnwhether it is necessary or not to adapt them to ecoclimatic regions and land use systems. Firstly, we shownthat the concept of ecosystem service has not achieved consensus, which complicates its implementation.nBased on case studies in different European regions (Continental, Atlantic, Mediterranean, Nordic), andnon results from European research projects which have referred to the development of ES indicators, wenshow the diversity of possible approaches. This diversity concerns various aspects: the objectives of thenindicators, the beneficiaries of the ES, spatial and temporal scales, and organization levels. In conclusion,nwe think that it is necessary to develop ES indicators adapted to ecoclimatic and land-use conditions. Thenissue of ES is a global issue, and thus it appeared desirable to find common indicators in order to comparenthe systems, but to adapt the calculation to specific conditions
