Workshop/Taller 1:Open data and models for mapping ecosystem service

Coordinador:P. Cabral (Universida de Nova de Lisboa)
Ecosystem services (ES) are the benefits provided to humans by the natural environment, such as clean air, natural pollination, drought regulation, food from agriculture, climate regulation, etc. Providing Information about ES for decision-making is essential to preserve their supply and, consequently, their benefits to society. Making these services visible through the mapping of biophysical, social and economic indicators enables understanding of potential trade-offs and the design of conservation strategies. The provision of ES is influenced by land cover changes (LCC) and efficient land use planning is required for maintaining ES flow. Land use planning can be supported by ES-based modelling tools to estimate ES supply based on land cover. However, ES modelling requires extensive data acquisition, processing and modelling skills making the task to select which method to
use arduous.
Datasets and models for working with ES should be easily accessible through open platforms. In this workshop we explore available open data and models which can be used for ES modelling and mapping. This Information can be useful for data producers as well as for anyone working with environmental data.

This workshop will provide a perspective on existing open datasets and
models to work with ES. It will also promote the importance of the
ecosystem services concept for sustainability and human well-being.
