Abstract

See More

Chapter provides the analysis and assessment of five provisioning ES – P1 Biomass: Agricultural crops; P2 Biomass: Timber and fibre; P3 Drinking water; P4 Freshwater; P5 Fish and Game/Wildfood. All ES are described in the unified structure: definition and brief characteristics; methods used for identification and assessment; main types of landscape and ecosystems providing given ES; the importance of ES in terms of nature and landscape protection; and ES assessment for the territory of Slovakia. Spatial assessment is provided as a map of the landscape capacity for given ES provision. For all ES, short conclusions and overview of input data for further assessment of the ES capacity, demand and flow are also given.
