EEA report 'European Forest Biodiversity - Ecosystem condition and sustainable use‘
To be launched at the upcoming CBD COP-9 in Bonn, May 2008Eionet consultation January 2008European forest: Where are we now, how did we get there and what are we doing?A ’Forest Type’ approachMCPFE 2007 data
Assessing biodiversity in inland waters, coasts and the seas
What data do we use to generate our assessments?
EIONET Workshop 200721
The EEA water Core set indicators
Are under thorough revision by the Water and Agriculture group.
Further work is concentrating on EU Water Framework Directive biological data
Up to now there was a limited use in assessments on ‘marine’ biodiversity and has not always been, strictly speaking, biodiversity.
Some biodiversity-related aspect of fisheries. A one-shot listing and producing some evidence on wide ecological impacts of fisheries for the Belgrade, which included some biodiversity-relevant information.

Status of marine fish stocks (CSI 032)
http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/atlas/viewdata/viewpub.asp?id=2117To be updated!!!! Many commercial fish stocks in European waters remain non-assessed. Of the assessed commercial stocks in the NE Atlantic, 21 to 53 % are outside safe biological limits (SBL). Of the assessed stocks in the Baltic Sea, the West Ireland Sea and the Irish Sea, 22, 29 and 53 %, respectively, are outside SBL. In the Mediterranean, the percentage of stocks outside SBL range from 10 to 20 %.
EIONET Workshop 200723
Nutrients in transitional, coastal and marine waters (CSI 021)
No general and clear change is observed in the eutrophication state of Europe's coastal waters. The phosphate concentration has decreased in some areas, but the nitrate concentration has generally remained stable over recent years. http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/map.asp?id=16852

Valuation of biodiversity
EIONET Workshop 200727
Ecosystems: functions and services

EIONET Workshop 200728
Non-market ecosystems services
Valuation methods:• Cost-based approach
• Production function
• Revealed preference techniques• Travel method• Hedonic pricing
• Stated preference techniques• Contingent valuation• Conjoint analysis
EIONET Workshop 200729
Value analysis
Marketable goods/services • Market analysis =>
• prices x quantities = values• study area depend on homogeneity of the
market (may be large)
Non-market services =>• Behavioural/attitudinal analysis
• values (= quantities x prices)• study area depends on homogeneity of
population (commonly small)
EIONET Workshop 200730
Valuation of non-market services
Available results for small areas (study sites) Study site => policy site? Benefit Transfer methodTransferred values depend on local conditions• Ecosystem characteristics • Characteristics of local
population and economy
EIONET Workshop 200731
Datasets?
Data are conditional => we need data plus the analysis”Metadata” sets =>databases with research literaturePreference for well-recorded research
