Abstract
Mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services (MAES) is a key EU initiative to synthesise vital environmental information and facilitate balanced policy decisions. As MAES integrates across many scientific and policy domains, the development of a common language and shared concepts is essential. Here we present a comprehensive MAES Glossary that was compiled in the ESMERALDA project; it is based on the integration of several previous glossaries and a wide-ranging consultation process. While there are several ecosystem services glossaries available from EU supported work such as Oppla, OpenNESS and ecosystem services related handbooks, the new material presented here focuses on mapping and assessment of ecosystem services and therefore more directly supports the MAES process.

N1 - Funding information: The original glossary was prepared by the “OpenNESS Glossary editorial team” Marion Potschin (Fabis Consulting, coordinating), Roy Haines-Young (Fabis Consulting), Ulrich Heink (UFZ), Kurt Jax (UFZ) with contributions from P. Berry (UOXF), P. Bezak (ILESAS), B. Czúcz (MTA ÖK), M. García Llorente (UAM), E. Gomez Baggethun (UAB/NINA), C. Görg (UFZ), J. Hauck (UFZ), P. Harrison (UOXF), Z. Izakovicova (ILESAS), C. Kretsch (UNOTT), A.L. Madsen (HUGIN), J. Maes (JRC), B. Martín-López (UAM), G. Martinez Pastur (CONICET), P. Mederly (ILESAS), J. Niemelä (UH), J. Priess (UFZ), E. Primmer (SYKE), G. Rusch (NINA), E. Stange (NINA), M. Termansen (AU), F. Turkelboom (INBO) and V. Yli-Pelkonen (UH). While we thank the whole consortium for debating meaning and concepts in ecosystem service mapping and assessment in general, we would like to express our particular thanks to the following from the ESMERALDA Consortium for contributing to the Glossary consultation within ESMERALDA: Abi Burns (WCMC), Davide Geneletti (UNIT) and Bettina Weibel (ETH). Special thanks to Joachim Maes (Joint Research Centre) for a very thorough proofreading and advice on the Glossary and both reviewers (Joachim Maes, Joint Research Centre and Stoyan Nedkov, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) for improving the quality of the manuscript. The ESMERALDA Project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642007. The preliminary work within the OpenNESS project received funding from the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme under Grant Agreement No. 308428 (The OpenNESS project; Operationalisation of natural capital and ecosystem services: from concepts to real-world applications).
