Integrating ecosystem services into decision support for management of agroecosystems: Viva Grass tool
The area covered by low-input agroecosystems (e.g. semi-natural and permanent grasslands) in Europe has considerably decreased throughout the last century. To support more sustainable management practices, and to promote biodiversity and ecosystem service values of such agroecosystems a decision support tool was developed. The tool aims to enhance the operationalization of ecosystem services and address the challenge of their integration into spatial planning. The Viva Grass tool aims to enhance the maintenance of ecosystem services delivered by low-input agroecosystems. It does so by providing spatially explicit decision support for land-use planning and sustainable management of agroecosystems. The Viva Grass tool is a multi-criteria decision analysis tool for integrated planning. It is designed for farmers, spatial planners and policy makers to support decisions of management of agroecosystems. The tool has been tested to assess spatial planning in eight case studies across the Baltic States.
