ABSTRACT

We use the Co$ting Nature policy support system [v2.48] (Mulligan, 2013; Mulligan et al., 2010) with 1 km spatial resolution input datasets from various sources focused around the year 2000, to calculate the realized ecosystem service provision based on current (2010) land cover and use. We examine the spatial correlation between the magnitude of different services and the current distribution of cropland, pasture and their productivities.
