Resource description:

This report gives guidance for seeking information that supports the integration of ecosystem services into policy and public management. We present for each ecosystem service a succinct selection of literature and further sources, which describe example indicators for approximating its (bio-physical) condition or supply, and its appreciation in socio-cultural or economic terms.

Uses of this resource:

We present for each ecosystem service a succinct selection of literature and further sources, which describe example indicators for approximating its (bio-physical) condition or supply, and its appreciation in socio-cultural or economic terms.

This collection of indicators should not be understood as an exhaustive list, but rather as a representative sample of typical applications.
