Geospatial Analysis

Geospatial Analysis of Ecosystem Services refers to the use of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial data to assess, map, and evaluate the benefits that ecosystems provide to humans, such as clean water, pollination, and carbon sequestration. This analysis helps in understanding the distribution, value, and potential changes in ecosystem services across different landscapes and regions.
