The Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań is implementing the project “Services provided by the main types of ecosystems in Poland – applied approach”. The work is financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway from the European Economic Area and Norwegian Funds. The university in Poznań will receive PLN 7.5 million for research.
The concept of ecosystem services in a general sense is defined as the set of products (e.g. wood, forest fruits, game) and ecosystem services (e.g. water and air purification, oxygen production, recreation areas) used by society.
Poznań scientists will examine these services in relation to Polish conditions on a national, regional and local scale, and will also develop indicators for their evaluation. One of the effects of the work is to create a textbook and improve the skills of officials and expert practitioners.
