A visualization and data-sharing tool for ecosystem service maps: Lessons learnt, challenges and the way forward

Abstract: a b s t r a c tA plurality in methods, models, terminologies is used to assess, quantify, map and communicate ecosystem services (ES). The Thematic Working Groups on Mapping (TWG4) and Modeling ES (TWG5) of the Ecosystem Service Partnership (ESP), recent literature and expert workshops, have highlighted the need for developing a platform that systematically organizes, visualizes and shares ES maps and related information. This led to the development of the Ecosystem Services Partnership Visualization Tool (ESP… Show more

“…So, following the unit value based approach, one should value the 2011 ES using the 2011 unit values (Costanza et al, 2014), value the 2050 ES using the 2050 unit values (Kubiszewski et al, 2017), rather than value the 2011 ES using the 1997 unit values (Costanza et al, 2014), value the 2050 ES using the 2011 unit values (Kubiszewski et al, 2017). However, re-estimating all unit values is a heavy work, especially, considering the non-linearity in ecosystem services (Barbier et al, 2008; Koch et al, 2009) and the spatial heterogeneity of unit values (de Groot et al, 2012; Crossman et al, 2013; Drakou et al, 2015). In the primary data based approach, the difficulty for accurately valuing each individual ES is remained (Guo et al, 2001; Dai et al, 2016), although there are some technique innovations in recent years (Coscieme et al, 2014).…”

“…Researchers have attempted to solve communication bottlenecks through communities of practice and sharing platforms for ES such as the ESP Visualisation tool (Drakou et al 2015) (http://esp-mapping.net/Home/), the ECOPLAN Monitor (http://www. ecosysteemdiensten.be) and OPPLA (http://www.oppla.eu/).…”

“…Transparent and exchangeable ES mapping approaches are challenged by the lack of consistent ES nomenclature which serves as a basis to formulate data standards for ES maps and relevant information (Drakou et al, 2015). Brown and Fagerholm (2015) conclude in their review of PPGIS/PGIS approaches that mapping of ecosystem services would benefit from experimental design and research controls allowing for the systematic comparison of outcomes using alternative operational definitions, mapping approaches at different map scales and with different sampling designs.…”

“…This should minimize inadequate use or misinterpretation of ES maps. Drakou et al (2015) present the Ecosystem Services Partnership Visualization Tool (ESP-VT; http://esp-mapping.net/), an open-access interactive platform that provides a systematic organization, visualization and sharing of ES maps and related information. The tool aims to increase transparency in ES mapping approaches, to facilitate the flow of information within the ES community, and between researchers, policy-makers and practitioners.…”
