... provision ( Figure 2.3) provides a good example on how to address the fifth question. Where the ecosystem contribution is very low (red areas in the map), it likely happens that intensive agricultural practices take place; this is a good indication to understand where (and for which crops) rural development programs meant to increase sustainable practices are needed. ...

... example on how to tackle the fifth question is provided by the flood control service. The ES potential may show a mismatch with the ES demand and this implies that a part of the demand remains uncovered (Figure 2.4). Policy makers responsible for the planning of the territory and for ecosystem restoration would know how to make use of this information that (i) quantify how much service coverage would be needed and (ii) where service coverage is missing. ...

... (still) primarily reflects activities (labor and capital) and not services of nature which are free. Further, if politicians and planner would do as pointed out above, even small increases in supply would change the figures fundamentally; for the average supply is rather near to the saturation point where the simulated prices would tend to zero ( Fig. ...

... this respect, the research project has not merely aimed to advance the physical and monetary recording of exemplary ES but also to help lay the groundwork for this still new agenda. One previous policy paper issued within the project on the "overlooked values of nature" ( Zieschank et al. 2018) led to a minor inquiry in the German Bundestag (Deutscher Bundestag 2019). Furthermore, a publication in the nature conservation journal "Natur und Landschaft" proposed a "First National Workshop for a Future Ecosystem Accounting in Germany", in cooperation with the EU Horizon 2020 Project MAIA. ...

Deliverable D2.1.1 is the second project report of the INES project (INtegrated assessment and mapping of water-related Ecosystem Services for nature-based solutions in river basin management). It presents the results from work package (WP) 2. Hydrological risks and climate change, task 2.1 Review and analysis of the state of the art.
The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting – Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EA) is a spatially-based, integrated statistical framework for organizing biophysical information about ecosystems, measuring ecosystem services (ES). Water flow regulation ES and biophysical modeling are among the main topics in the individual ES part of the SEEA-EA framework and flood regulation ES is one of the important services. Characterizing and assessing flood regulation is a challenging task as both assessment and accounts of this ES need various data which are usually not available through direct or indirect measurements, therefore modeling approaches of water regulation are much needed. Despite growing attention and studies using hydrologic models to assess and/or map flood regulation ES, the accounting of this service is still not well developed. In this paper, we present an approach for accounting flood regulation at a local scale using ArcSWAT modeling. It is based on the results of flood regulation ES assessment, where modeling results are used to quantify the ES indicators and delineate the service providing areas (SPA) and service demand areas (SDA). The actual flow of flood regulation is calculated as a ratio between ES demand and ES potential and it represents the area of SPA which corresponds to the demand for flood regulation represented by SDA. The results show that predominant flood regulations ES supply is provided by the forest ecosystem as well as the actual flow. The accounting of flood regulation is strongly determined by ecosystem extent mapping. The CORINE Land Cover (CLC) provides the most appropriate and available data for mapping ecosystem extent at smaller scales. However, at a larger scale, it is too coarse and the combination of Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) national ecosystem mapping gives better results.
