将生态系统服务纳入政策和决策的主流取决于能否获得关于生态系统及其服务的状况和趋势的明确的空间信息。特别是，《欧盟至2020年生物多样性战略》通过生物物理绘图和估值，解决了核算生态系统服务的需要。本文回顾了目前的绘图方法，确定目前的知识差距，并提供了一个方法框架的元素，在欧洲规模的生态系统及其服务的绘图和评估。目前的制图方法超出了纯粹基于土地覆被的评估，还包括使用生态系统服务的原始数据，使用功能特性来绘制生态系统服务图，以及开发模型和生态生产功能。需要开展更多的研究，以涵盖海洋生态系统，并将生态系统对环境变化的复原力纳入明确的空间评估。生态系统服务级联连接生态系统，人类福祉的主张，提供一个合适的，逐步的框架，映射生态系统服务，以支持欧盟的政策，以更有效的方式。我们演示了使用这个框架的映射使用净水服务的情况下。(C)2012 Elsevier B.V.
Mainstreaming ecosystem services into policy and decision making is dependent on the availability of spatially explicit information on the state and trends of ecosystems and their services. In particular, the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 addresses the need to account for ecosystem services through biophysical mapping and valuation. This paper reviews current mapping methods, identifies current knowledge gaps and provides the elements for a methodological framework for mapping and assessing ecosystems and their services at European scale. Current mapping methodologies go beyond purely land cover based assessments and include the use of primary data of ecosystem services, the use of functional traits to map ecosystem services and the development of models and ecological production functions. Additional research is needed to cover marine ecosystems and to include the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change in spatially explicit assessments. The ecosystem services cascade which connects ecosystems to human wellbeing is argued to provide a suitable, stepwise framework for mapping ecosystem services in order to support EU policies in a more effective way. We demonstrate the use of this framework for mapping using the water purification service as case. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
