Deriving Ecosystem Service Indicators for Regulation and Maintenance type

ecosystem services

Introduction

Assessment and Valuing of Ecosystem Services are raising topics nowadays, but …

How can we derive quantitative measures to estimate ESS?

The approach

The Biome-BGC model

Biome-BGC version 4.1.1 was provided by the Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group (NTSG) at the University of Montana. Biome-BGC v4.1.1 Max Planck Institute (MPI) version was kindly provided by Galina Churkina. The MPI version contains model code modifications documented in Trusilova et al. 2009 MPI-BGC Technical Report 16.

BBGC ESI & CICESCommon International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES)

ESI maxGRASS – yearly maximum of grass production, kgC/m2

ESI annWOOD – annual wood increment, kgC/m2

ESI LIVEBIO – live biomass: proxy for cleansing potential, kgC/m2

ESI SOILPROT – sum of living and dead biomass protecting the soil against erosion , kgC/m2

ESI DESDWO – damping of ecosystem daily water outflow, unitlessESI DECOMP – litter and coarse woody debris decomposition rate, kgC/m2/yrESI HUMIF – humification in the soil, kgC/m2/yrESI annNPP – annual net pri. production, kgC/m2

ESI TCS – total carbon stock, kgC/m2

ESI annET - energy absorption by evapotranspiration, kgH2O/m2/yr
