The Atlas could be presented as an electronic image, hard copy map and/or GIS layer at appropriate resolution (to be decided). It is possible that the GIS layer could be presented at different resolution or spatial scale depending on the amount of information available in each part of Europe.

The results from the field experimentation, demonstrations and modelling will be discussed at annual co-innovation workshops, and ultimately these workshops will be used to decide on which management options and technologies to 'road test' the findings from these workshops will be summarized in a report.

Quantifying ecosystem services on permanent grassland

The report will be developed as part of sub-tasks 2.3.1 and 2.3.7.

Final synthesis report
