The European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action ESMERALDA aimed at developing guidance and a flexible methodology for Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) to support the EU member states in the implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy's Target 2 Action 5. ESMERALDA's key tasks included network creation, stakeholder engagement, enhancing ecosystem services mapping and assessment methods across various spatial scales and value domains, work in case studies and support of EU member states in MAES implementation. Thus ESMERALDA aimed at integrating various project outcomes around four major strands: i) Networking, ii) Policy, iii) Research and iv) Application. The objective was to provide guidance for integrated ecosystem service mapping and assessment that can be used for sustainable decision-making in policy, business, society, practice and science at EU, national and regional levels. This article presents the overall ESMERALDA approach of integrating the above-mentioned project components and outcomes and provides an overview of how the enhanced methods were applied and how they can be used to support MAES implementation in the EU member states. Experiences with implementing such a large pan-European Coordination and Support Action in the context of EU policy are discussed and recommendations for future actions are given.

Abstract

Throughout the second half of the 20th Century, the area of semi-natural grasslands in the Baltic States decreased substantially, due to agricultural abandonment in some areas and intensification in more productive soil types. In order to halt the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services provided by grasslands, the LIFE+ programme funded project, LIFE Viva Grass, aims at developing an integrated planning tool that will support ecosystem-based planning and sustainable grassland management. LIFE Viva Grass integrated planning tool is spatially explicit and allows the user to assess the provision and trade-offs of grassland ecosystem services within eight project case study areas in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In order to ensure methodological adaptability, the structure of the LIFE Viva Grass integrated planning tool follows the framework of the tiered approach. In a multi-tier system, each consecutive tier entails an increase in data requirements, methodological complexity or both. The present paper outlines the adaptation of the tiered approach for mapping and assessing ecosystem services provided by grasslands in the Baltic States. The first tier corresponds to a deliberative decision process: The matrix approach is used to assess the potential supply of grassland ecosystem services based on expert estimations. Expert values are subsequently transferred to grassland units and therefore made spatially explicit. The data collected in the first tier was further enhanced through a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) in order to explore ES bundles in tier 2. In the third tier, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis is used to target specific policy questions.

Abstract

Recent developments in UAV technology allow for the rapid acquisition of highly detailed multispectral aerial imagery. As opposed to satellite-based earth observation techniques, the ability of UAVs to be operated at lower altitudes allow for repeated measurements without weather limitations such as dense cloud cover. These characteristics render UAVs an ideal tool for predictive plant community mapping. Despite the wide use of UAVs and multispectral sensors in precision agriculture, forestry and nature conservation, the use of these platforms for mapping semi-natural grassland communities has received little attention in the scientific literature. Coastal meadows are priority habitats, according to the EU Habitats Directive. These grasslands provide a wide range of ecosystem services including: fodder for cattle, carbon storage, habitat for pollinators, erosion control, and flood regulation and support high biodiversity including plants, migratory and breeding birds, and pollinating insects. In spite of their ecological importance, coastal meadows have been subjected to habitat degradation in the form of agricultural intensification in many areas and abandonment in others. Efforts aimed at halting these trends face limitations in data availability regarding the current location and extent of the plant communities in many coastal meadows. In order to address this lack of data, we present a workflow that integrates UAV-based multispectral imagery acquisition, vegetation indices calculation and machine learning algorithms to differentiate between five plant community types in coastal meadows in West Estonia. To automatically map the five communities under study (Reed swamp, tall grass, lower shore, upper shore and open pioneer), the ability of an agriculture-oriented camera to classify spectrally similar communities was tested. Preliminary results show a good classification accuracy using 13 vegetation indices derived from multispectral aerial imagery and a random forest classification algorithm. Incorporating data derived from Structure from Motion shows a promising path for improving results in the near future. The maps derived from the UAV images constitute the basis for further analyses and applications such as ecosystem services mapping and assessment, habitat management strategies and assessment of the effects of climate change.
