Details
This project developed spatial riverine natural capital condition and ecosystem service evidence accessed via an open data mapping tool, the Ecosystem Service Map Explorer (ESME). It modelled the condition of rivers in England (and their surrounding catchments) and their capacity to provide ecosystem services.
Its findings will support the Environment Agency and others in planning and delivery processes to improve environmental outcomes.
These reports describe the project, method and provide application guidance. You can access the mapping tool on ArcGIS online, watch a walk-through in our applied demonstration video, and download the data from Defra Data Services Platform.
