MAZZOTTA, m. J. AND W. J. BERRY. A Simplified Decision Support Approach for Evaluating Wetlands Ecosystem Services . Presented at ACES (A Community on Ecosystem Services) Conference, Phoenix, AZ, December 06 - 09, 2010.
Impact/Purpose:
We will be presenting a simplified approach to evaluating ecosystem services provided by freshwater wetlands restoration. Our approach is based on an existing functional assessment approach developed by Golet and Miller for the State of Rhode Island, and modified by Miller for application by The Nature Conservancy in Wisconsin. The approach is based on extensive research on existing functional assessment tools, and can be applied relatively easily using GIS measures and minimal field work.
