Demonstration results of the effects of landscape heterogeneity on ecosystem service supply

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.

Implementation

Ecosystem management
Spatial planning

Methods

Mapping/GIS

Topics

Indicators/criteria
Land management
Land use change

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.

Product requirements

ArcGIS with Spatial Analyst
Or: R with raster packages.

Advantages

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