In principle, the methodology is designed to express and assess a wider social and economic significance of forest ecosystem services compared to the significance of non-forest parts of the landscape. It expresses the social and economic significance of blocks of forest ecosystem services in comparison with non-forest ecosystem services in the landscape within the Czech Republic.
The main landscape ecosystems such as forestland, grassland, arable land, and solid soil cover were included. The differences in ecosystem services were valued by the methodology created by the research team and certified in the Czech Republic in 2017 by the Ministry of Agriculture.
