Resource description:

This dataset demonstrates the relevance of accounting for landscape heterogeneity for particular ecosystem services and can be used to study trade-offs among ecosystem services through spatial planning.

Requirements:

  • ArcGIS with Spatial Analyst
  • Or: R with raster packages.

Advantages:

  • Demonstrates how landscape heterogeneity shapes the supply of certain ecosystem services
  • high resolution

Constraints:

  • These are modelled data, for the purpose of understanding the strength of the effect of accouting for landscape heterogeneity on ecosystem service mapping. Data are not meant for local scale use.
