Services Landscapes provide to Society – Regional Case Studies in the TransEcoNet Project Regions North, Central North and Central South

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

European biodiversity and ecosystem service decline is still on-going, caused mainly by habitat loss and fragmentation. Despite many conservation activities, valuable ecological networks are being lost. To enhance connectivity in order to preserve ecological as well as socio-cultural values the status quo of such transnational networks has to be evaluated. Therefore, the project TransEcoNet aimed at assessing the actual goods and services that landscapes provide for sustaining life. Within the project, we developed an integrated approach for mapping and assessing landscape services based on spatial information as well as filed data. In order to accomplish a comprehensive analysis, different levels of service assessment in the investigation area and spatial scale are distinguished. Whereas the case studies in the project regions North and Central North based their assessment solely on the use of a capacity matrix, those in the project region Central South extended their assessments by semi-quantitative data gained from field work. We successfully mapped and quantified five landscape service groups including a range of individual services within the investigation areas: regulation, habitat, provision, information and carrier. While the main service distributions were visualized as spider-web graphs for each investigation area, the individual services were displayed on maps. These final landscape service maps may provide regional stakeholders with valuable information on the service provision of transnational ecological networks and can therefore be used as a decision tool in landscape planning processes.
