assessment and mapping
Cristian MOISE / Alexandru BADEA / Florian BODESCU / Ion NEDELCU
ROMANIAN SPACE AGENCY
The inter-service brainstorming workshop on Copernicus and the CAP – 17th March 2017, JRC Ispra - Italy
“Action 5 of the EU
Biodiversity Strategy to
2020 calls Member States
to map and assess the
state of ecosystems and
their services in their
national territory with the
assistance of the
European Commission”
ContextConceptual framework for EU wide ecosystem assessment
http://biodiversity.europa.eu/maes
The mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services is a
necessary condition to use ecosystems and their services as key
parameters for informing, planning, develop processes and decision
making.

MAES process in Romania
Project activities are implemented by:
1. National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA)
2. Romanian Space Agency (ROSA)
3. WWF-Romania (WWF)
4. Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA)
Main activities :
• Elaboration of mapping and assessment frameworks and
procedures as basis to perform MAES in Romania

- Provide access to a set of tools allowing simplified as well as
complex analysis in by means of standard GIS interface and
predefined reports;
- Use thematic and reference data published as web services (OGC
Compliant) by mandated organizations participating in the
National SDI;
- Core information represented by the Country Location and
Assessment Maps developed in the N4D project
- Architecture and technology enabling further extension and
scaling given considering existing and future categories of users

Draft conclusions
- The link between science and policy should be strengthened and more
support provided to policy-relevant research.
- Data sharing capabilities need to be enhanced in Europe and in
particular, data coming from long-term ecological research sites.
- Several conceptual issues remain unresolved and require dedicated
action :
- the typology of marine ecosystems of Black Sea - which not have a
direct correspondence in EUNIS typology
- the role of agro-ecosystems in delivering provisioning ecosystem
services in relation to energy inputs that are required to harvest
agricultural products.
