Earth Observations, such as satellite imagery and Lidar, are an important source of data on the state of ecosystems, but their use in practice is still limited. The European-funded H2020 project ECOPOTENTIAL aims to make EO more usable in assessing ecosystem functions and services for management of protected areas. Within ECOPOTENTIAL, the chair Planning of Landscape and Urban Systems (PLUS) is modelling a set of crucial ecosystem services in mountain regions, their future development and trade-offs between them, as well as related uncertainties.
