National Ecosystem and Ecosystem Services Map – Supporting Ecosystem Service Information: Contribution to the grassland network

Tuairimí: 26
Rátáil oscailteachta:

This dataset contains a raster dataset showing areas' contributing to the grassland network, including how important the area is for the network (based on habitat type and proximity to the next core area).

This dataset is part of a dataset series that establishes an ecosystem service maps (national scale) for a set of services prioritised through stakeholder consultation and any intermediate layers created by Environment Systems Ltd in the cause of the project. The individual dataset resources in the datasets series are to be considered in conjunction with the project report: https://www.npws.ie/research-projects/ecosystems-services-mapping-and-assessment

The project provides a National Ecosystem and Ecosystem Services (ES) map for a suite of prioritised services to assist implementation of MAES (Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their services) in Ireland.

This involves stakeholder consultation for identification of services to be mapped, the development of a list of indicators and proxies for mapping, as well as an assessment of limitations to ES mapping on differing scales (Local, Catchment, Region, National, EU) based on data availability. Reporting on data gaps forms part of the project outputs.

The project relied on the usage of pre-existing data, which was also utilised to create intermediate data layers to aid in ES mapping. For a full list of the data used throughout the project workings, please refer to the project report.

Eolas Dualfhoinse 50m raster grid file used in the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems Service Project. Created by Environment Systems Ltd. (ESL). The dataset was derived from the network analysis and is based on the Habitat Asset Register for Ireland, created in the course of this project (Habitat Asset Register, refer to resource 1); habitats were scored as (a) grassland core habitats or grassland non-core habitats and (b) based on how permeable they are for species associated with the grassland network. A cost-distance model was then applied to determine the extent of the network; cut-off values (in vs. out of the network) were determined in conjunction with NPWS staff. For the full processing methodology, including a comprehensive list of the input datasets, associated scores, full processing methodology, including any modification of the input data refer to the project Final Report (resource 23). The final raster dataset has been created at a cell size of 50m. All processing steps were carried out at a cell size of 50m. Metadata for all input datasets is included with the datasets in question. Metadata for the habitat asset register for Ireland is provided as part of this project (resource 1). Filename / Map package / PNG: 3010_MAES15-Networks_grassland.tif / 3010_MAES15-Networks_grassland.mpk / 3010_MAES15-Networks_grassland.png Project processing was carried out in EPSG29902. Final outputs were converted to EPSG2157, using the transformation provided by proj4 (https://trac.osgeo.org/proj/wiki/FAQ), which is used by most GIS software for coordinate system manipulation. The source Coordinate Reference System is Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM). The transformation used is equivalent in accuracy to the one held by NPWS. This dataset has been created using various processing and GIS software including; ArcMap 10.1, FME, and QGIS.
