Abstract

The existence and management of permanent grassland (PG) is key to the delivery of multiple ecosystem services (ES) across Europe. A deliverable from the SUPER-G project was the development of a farm level decision support tool (DST). The aim of the DST was to provide the farmer (user) with an overview of the various ES delivered through the management of PG within their farm; and to offer guidance on steps that could be taken to enhance the delivery of each ES. A multi-actor approach, with discussions between farmers, landowners and their advisers, non-governmental organisations and researchers, was undertaken to develop the DST. The six ES considered important include food production; climate regulation; biodiversity; landscape and recreation; flood and erosion control; and water quality. The user is asked a series of questions which calculates values for each ES indicator. These ES indicators are then combined using Simple Additive Weighting to provide the user with a score for each of the six ES.
