3. Literature request for reports on mapping and assessment of ecosystem services in Europe
The collaborative EU Horizon 2020 funded project ESMERALDA aims to develop methods to map and assess ecosystem services which meet users’ requirements for different biomes, themes and geographical contexts. In order to cover as many biomes, themes and geographical contexts, and identify the critical issues associated to each of them, the project works on a review of scientific and grey literature on the applications of ES mapping and assessment on case studies in Europe. If you know of any scientific or grey literature on this topic, please send those to support@es-partnership.org.
