ABSTRACT: "Maps play an important role during the entire process of spatial planning and bring ecosystem services to the attention of stakeholders' negotiation more easily. As example we show the quantification of the ecosystem service ‘natural attenuation of pollutants’, which is a service necessary to keep the soil clean for production of safe food and provision of drinking water, and to provide a healthy habitat for soil organisms to support other ecosystem services. A method was developed to plot the relative measure of the natural attenuation capacity of the soil in a map. Several properties of Dutch soils were related to property-specific reference values and subsequently combined into one proxy for the natural attenuation of pollutants." AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "The natural attenuation capacity that is modeled in this study must be seen as a measure that describes the ‘biodegradation capacity’ of the soil, including biodegradation of all types of contaminants" |
