Removal capacity is calculated as the product of dry deposition velocity and pollutant concentration (Wesely and Hicks, 2000), derived on the context of the LUISA modelling platform.

The indicator measures the capacity of ecosystems to avoid soil erosion assigning values ranging from 0 to 1 at pixel level, covering the EU-28 territory. This indicator is related to the capacity of a given land cover type to provide soil protection.The level...

The EU urban population exposure to air pollution by particulate matter indicator shows the population weighted annual mean concentration of PM10 in agglomerations expressed in ug/m3.

Soil retention, is calculated as soil loss without vegetation cover minus soil loss including the current land use/cover pattern. Specifically, this indicator takes into account climate data (observed measurements for rainfall and modelled for snow), topograph...

The EU urban population exposed to PM10 concentrations exceeding the daily limit value on more than 35 days in a year measures the percentage of population in urban areas exposed to PM10 concentrations exceeding the daily limit value (50 µg/m3) established by ...

These datasets are an output of KIP INCA and refer to map datasets for 7 ecosystem services. The maps depict the spatial information that is provided by the ecosystem service accounts for the following ecosystem services: (a) Provisioning: Crop Provision...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. It describes the use of outdoor recreation on a daily basis (requiring short distance movement to reach a recreational area). Outdoor recreation is a cultural ecosystem service that includes all physical and intellectual...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. It describes the ecosystem service of crop pollination. Pollination is a key ecosystem service as many crops but in particular, fruits and vegetables are partially dependent on pollinating insects to produce food for huma...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. The dataset presents the contribution of ecosystems to timber provision by multiplying the net annual increment of timber with a ratio that estimates the contribution of ecosystems to timber growth. (Human inputs used in...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. On site soil erosion from rainfall is regarded as one of the major causes of environmental degradation. However, healthy ecosystems can also halt soil erosion and contribute to the maintenance of soil quality and therefor...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. All ecosystems but in particular forests, shrubland, grasslands and wetlands reduce runoff by retaining water in the soil and aquifers and slowing down the water flow. This prevents the rapid downstream runoff of surface...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. Global climate regulation as an ecosystem service includes the sequestration of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere by ecosystems. This dataset reports carbon sequestration by forests and woodland based on reported LUL...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. The dataset presents the contribution of ecosystems to crop provision by multiplying the yield in tonne/ha with the ecosystem contribution ratio. This ratio is a number between 0 and 1 and expresses the contribution of n...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. The tables report ecosystem service actual flow in physical and monetary terms. Physical units varies according to the ES, the monetary unit is Euro. The monetary valuation is expressed in constant prices. The Supply tab...

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA. The water purification service refers to the removal of pollutants from water that is mediated by microorganisms, algae and plants and other ecological processes such as filtration, sequestration and storage of pollutants...

Forest carbon potential is an indicator which is developed to assess relative changes in carbon stock and flows and to compute its variation between two time periods, in relation to the extent of forests within the European Union. The indicator is based on out...

NO2 is used as indicator substance for mapping air quality regulation by urban green space. Removal of NO2 by urban green space is calculated based on NO2 concentrations and deposition velocity.

The habitat quality indicator is based on the modelled species distribution of common birds. Data on bird species occurrences were obtained from the EBCC Atlas of European Breeding Birds. Species distribution models were built by means of the maximum entropy m...

The Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) represents the degree of service available according to proximity to roads and residential areas. It combines the potential opportunities offered by nature and a proximity map to derive nine categories: three levels of...
