Produktbeschreibung
Ecosystem Service Potentials and Their Indicators in Postglacial Landscapes: Assessment and Mapping provides valuable guidance for anyone involved with ecosystem service potential monitoring, use and management-from landscape ecologists and environmental managers, to policymakers and environmental economists. The book highlights effective measurement tools for evaluating the overall potential of ecosystem services from multiple perspectives. Beginning with an introduction to ecosystem services and the theoretical assumptions and objectives associated with their assessment, the book goes on to outline interdisciplinary methods of evaluation and analysis that are fully supported and illustrated throughout using an insightful case study focused on Wigry National Park.

A range of different spatial reference units are also discussed, followed by chapters on both analytical and synthetic approaches to identifying service supply potential. In addition, the use of services and the impact of these uses on the assessment of potential is included, along with a discussion of the future shape of ecosystem service assessment.
Autorenporträt
Dr Affek is an Assistant Professor at the Stanislaw Lescycki Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization where he takes a multidisciplinary approach to the study of human-environment relationships. His research interest include landscape ecology (patterns, processes and social perception), ecosystem services (potentials, pollination service, bumble bees), dynamics of spatial structures, and landscape transformation and the persistence of former land systems the Polish Eastern Carpathians.He is also interested in varied research methodologies, including modeling of relationships, phenomena and processes, statistical analysis of spatial data, psychometrics and surveys, Historical GIS (HGIS) and airborne and terrestrial laser scanning (LiDAR).
