Enhancing ecoSysteM sERvices mApping for poLicy and Decision mAking (ESMERALDA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2018,
Mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services (ES) are core to the EU Biodiversity (BD) Strategy. They are essential if we are to make informed decisions. Action 5 sets the requirement for an EU-wide knowledge base designed to be: a primary data source for developing Europe’s green infrastructure; resource to identify areas for ecosystem restoration; and, a baseline against which the goa ...

Satellite-based Wetland Observation Service (SWOS)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,
The objective of the project SWOS is to develop a monitoring and information service focussing on wetland ecosystems.Globally wetlands are the ecosystems with the highest rate of loss. This is alarming, considering their significance as biodiversity hotspots and ecosystems with a central role in the water cycle, including improving water quality and reducing water scarcity, in climate regulation a ...

Operational Potential of Ecosystem Research Applications (OPERAs)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
Human use and exploitation of the biosphere is increasing at such a pace and scale that the sustainability of major ecosystems is threatened, and may not be able to continue to function in ways that are vital to the existence of humanity. Re-framing environmental resource use has led to the emergence of the concepts of ecosystem services (ES) and natural capital (NC). This discourse indicates not ...

Hotspot Ecosystem Research and Man's Impact on European seas (HERMIONE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
The HERMIONE project is designed to make a major advance in our knowledge of the functioning of deep-sea ecosystems and their contribution to the production of goods and services. This will be achieved through a highly interdisciplinary approach (including biologists, ecologists, microbiologists, biogeochemists, sedimentologists, physical oceanographers, modelers and socio-economists) that will in ...
