(MIMES): the dynamics, modeling and valuation of ecosystem services

Ecosystem services are defined as those functions of ecosystems that support (directly or indirectly) human welfare. They occur at multiple scales, from climate regulation and carbon sequestration at the global scale, to flood protection, soil formation and nutrient cycling at local and regional scales (Kremen 2005; Table 1). The MIMES project aims to integrate participatory model building, data collection and valuation, to advance the study of ecosystem services for use in integrated assessments. MIMES builds on the GUMBO model (Boumans et al. 2002; Costanza et al. 2006) to allow for spatial explicit modeling at various scales. The three major objectives are:
