8 Methods of Mapping and Assessment URBAN MAES ECOSYSTEM SERVICES ON URBAN AREAS Phase I Metodological approach to analyse ecosystem services on urban areas in Poland in relation to green infrastructure concept; Classification of ecosystems and ecosystem services bonitation; Identification of data spatial scale impact on ecosystem services assessment. 8

15 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION Iwona Zwierzchowska Department of Integrated Geography Trondheim, 28th May 2015

16 ESMERALDA project What we do Enhancing ecosystem services mapping for policy and Decision making Determination what relevant stakeholders expect form Ecosystem Services mapping; Identification of suitability existing ES maps in Poland for an implementation by policy makers and other stakeholders; Analyse of ES assesment for Poland regarding to the role of scaling, synergies or trade-offs, their shifting in time and space and reversibility; Testing of possibility to include a new data, indicators and processing methods for next generation of ES maps; Present the achived results at conferences and in scientific papers. 16

17 Conclusions URBAN MAES ECOSYSTEM SERVICES ON URBAN AREAS Phase I Urban Atlas BDOT to assess part of ecosystem services land cover or land use data need to be complement with other databases; asessment of some of ecosystem services need more detailed typology of land use/land cover ; part of ecosystem services is generated by ecosystems only in particular places egz. mass stabilisation; part of ecosystem services is generated by all ecosystems, however prioritisation is needed; level of ecosystem services is changing in time 17

21 MAES and MESEU What we do The MAES working group on Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services oversees the implementation of Action 5 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to The pilot on urban ecosystems aims to provide working guidance to the Member States on methods and tools to map and assess urban ecosystem services by December Focus points are: air quality regulation, micro-climate regulation including urban heat island, recreation, others. Adam Mickiewicz University has been delegated by Ministry of Science to represent Poland as a Member State partner. Pilot on Mapping and Assessment on Urban Ecosystem 21 in
