Introduction    

The   aim   of   the   document   is   to   provide   guidance   for   the   programmers   of   the   „Integrated  planning  tool  for  sustainable  grassland  management”  (Tool)  to  be  able  to  respond  to  the  vision  of   the   LIFE  VivaGrass   project   partners.  On   the  other   hand,   this   guidance   shall   help   the  work  package  leaders  and  experts  of  the  project  with  one  document  illustrating  the  progress  of  the  Tool  development  and  to  be  able  to  define  missing  issues.    

The   goal   of   the   Tool   is   to   function   as   an   instrument   to   support   planning   processes   and   to  facilitate  decision-­‐making  for  better  grassland  management  in  the  three  Baltic  States.    Also  to  help   planners   and   decision   makers   to   understand   the   overall   value   of   ecosystem   services’  impact  to  its  value  by  changing  land  use  and  interaction  with  different  stakeholders  groups  and  their  added  value   for   the  society.  On  the  other  hand,   the  Tool  shall  help   to  see  and  simulate  different  driving  forces  causal  of  socioeconomic  factors.    

The   Tool   shall  map  and   valuate  all   relevant   to   grasslands   Ecosystem  Services   (ES)   as  well   as  consider   major   social   and   economic   factors   governing   driving   forces   that   are   currently  impacting  the  loss  of  Valuable  grasslands.  

Present  document  describes:  structure  and  outputs  generated  by  the  Tool;  its  operational  logic;  ES   assessment   process;   additional   indicators   based   on   socio-­‐economic   criteria;   requirements  for   the  design  and  accessibility  of   the  Tool;   specification  of  processes  and   their  management  structure   (actors,   responsibilities,   and   other   organizational   issues);   specification   of   software  requirements   and   solution  architecture  design;   the   input   criteria   (factors)   that  will   formulate  specific  data  needs;  intended  results;  technical  and  program  solution.

Goal  and  function  of  the  Tool    

The   goal   of   the   Tool   is   to   function   as   an   instrument   to   support   planning   processes   and   to  facilitate   decision-­‐making   for   better   and   efficient   grassland   management   in   the   three   Baltic  States   –   in   particular   attention   should   be   given   to   marginal   (both   from   physician   and  socioeconomic   perspective)   high   nature   value   grasslands.   It   shall   help   planners   and   decision  makers   to   understand   the   overall   value   of   ecosystem   services’   and   its   changes   according   to  land  use  or  management  practice  change.    

The   Tool   is   meant   to   help   to   plan   and   improve   various   agri-­‐environmental   and   nature  conservation   measures   which   will   be   develop   by   applying   ecosystem   planning   approach,  consider  and  socioeconomic  circumstances.  Furthermore,   the  Tool   shall  help   to   illustrate  and  understand   the   linkage   of   main   socioeconomic   factors   driving   to   land   use   change   and  grasslands  abandonment.    

The   Tool   shall   work   based   on   spatial   available   data   sets,   experts   valuation   of   different  grasslands   categories   attributed   to   each   ES   indicator;   however,   additional   data   from   the  selected  sites  could  be  integrated  to  generate  more  precise  information  about  values  of  ES,  to  create  functional  maps  and  features.

Stakeholders,  ES  experts’  expectation  on  the  Tool    

Summarising   interviews   with   different   stakeholders   from   Baltic   States   on   their   expectation  from  the  Tool  we  synthesised  the  following  suggestions:  

● The   Tool   should   be   able   to   provide   proposals/ideas/hints   for   effective   resource  management  by  helping  to  find  alternatives  for  grassland  maintenance,  business  cases  and  indicate  the  risk  of  abandonment.  

● It  should  be  an  advisory  instrument  in  decision-­‐making  process  to  calculate  and  display  most   valuable   grasslands   based   on   ES   valuation   criteria   and   indicators   and   help   to  decide   locations   of   “perspective”   sites   to   ensure   optimal   provisional,   regulatory   or  cultural  ES’  output.    

● The   Tool   should   provide   a   generalized   information   on   best   measures   in   terms   of  biodiversity   conservation   or   in   terms   of   income   generation;   it   shall   identify   strengths  and  weaknesses  of  both  and  help  the  planner/decision  maker  to  see  what   is  the  most  beneficial  activity  in  a  particular  area.    

● It  should  provide  some  hints  on  concrete  measures  to  be  applied  and  propose  scenarios  for  economically  valuable  grasslands  management  without  RDP  payments.  

● It  shall  broaden  the  view  of  planners  on  the  planning  process  itself  and  support  strategic  planning  processes.

Status    

At   this   stage   the  Tool   should   calculate   and  display   current   values  of   ES.   The  assessment   and  mapping  will  be  done  by  applying  3  different  methodologies  for:  the  provisional  and  regulatory  ES;  cultural  ES  and  risk  for  abandonment.  

Provisional  and  regulatory  ES  assessment  and  mapping    The   assessment   and  mapping   should   be   done   for   each   provisional   and   regulatory   indicator.  Matrix  presented  in  the  Table  1  was  developed.  Cultural  ES  will  be  assessed  applying  another  approach.   5   of   the  provisional   services   and  8   regulatory   services   ES   indicators  were   selected  according   to   the   Common   International   Classification   of   Ecosystem   Services   (CICES)1  classification,   as   the  Tool  will   consider  grasslands,   arable   land  and  abandoned   land  only.   The  value   of   the   indicators   is   set   based   on   the   following   land   use   classes:   grasslands   types  (cultivated,  permanent,  semi-­‐natural);  soil  quality  (bonitet)  and  relief  type  (50  classes  in  total)  (Table  1).

Based  on  these  indicators  an  ES  assessment  matrix  was  developed.  At  the  matrix  intersections,  the  capacities  of  the  different   land  cover  types  to  supply  particular  ES  are  ranked  by  selected  experts  on  a  scale  from  0  (no  relevant  capacity  of  the  particular  land  cover  type  to  supply  the  selected  ES)  to  5  (very  high/maximum  relevant  capacity).  

Experts   should   be   selected   considering   following   criteria:   his/her   expertise   relevance   to  indicator   or   land   use   classes;   understanding   ES   concept   and   assessment   approach;   basic  understanding  of  spatial  planning  and  GIS  engine.  It  is  highly  recommended  to  have  one  or  two  key   experts   for   appropriate   indicators   i.e.,   botanist,   pollination   expert,   soil   expert   and   etc.  Besides  of  quality,  the  quantity  (number  of   interviewed  persons)  of  experts   is  also   important.  Although   it   is   difficult   to  provide   a   generally   valid  number,   8-­‐12  experts  may  be   sufficient   in  most  cases.  It  has  to  be  considered  that  the  interviewed  persons  need  to  be  (at  least)  familiar  with  the  region.  A  background  in  ES  science  and  application  is  highly  advantageous  but  can  (due  to  the  novelty  of  the  approach)  not  be  expected  in  all  cases.  Then,  the  concept  and  the  aim  of  the  grassland  ES  assessment  need  to  be  clearly  explained  (the  best,  based  on  prepared  material  and  commonly  accepted  definitions).    

The  final  assessment  matrix  filled  by  the  project  partners  and  experts  is  available  at  Annex  No.  1.

Finally,  the  ES  shall  be  mapped  by  the  Tool  linking  the  assessment  values  to  the  functional  units  (natural  boarders  of  grasslands  type,  arable  and  abandoned  land).  

Cultural  ES  assessment  and  mapping    The   cultural   ES   assessment   and  mapping   has   two   dimensions:   if   the   relevant   to   cultural   ES  object  has  point  based  record  then  spatial  “impact”  zone  is  drawn  by  visual   impact  criteria;   if  object  has  spatial  dimension  than  overlapping  areas  with  assessment  polygon  will  have  a  value.  Criteria  in  details  are  presented  in  the  Table  2.

Risk  for  abandonment    Farmland   abandonment   is   a   complex   process   with   interlinked   economic,   environmental   and  social  aspects  and  is  often  associated  with  social  and  economic  problems  in  rural  areas.  It  can  be   defined   as   the   cessation   of   agricultural   activities   on   a   given   surface   of   land   (Pointereau,  2008).  Abandonment   includes  a  change   towards  a   less   intensive  pattern  of   land  use   (Baudry,  1991)   thus   elimination   and   polarization   of   landscape   mosaics   and   loss   of   landscape  heterogeneity.   Grasslands   are   agricultural   ecosystems   which   are   exposed   to   higher   risk   of  abandonment   than   other   types   of   farmland   due   to   their   rather   marginal   economic   position  (Strijker,  2005).  

To  assess  a  risk  of  abandonment  we  used  composite  method  of  combining  analysis  of  number  of   drivers   for   abandonment   at   several   scales.   At   site/farm   level   we   have   chosen   to   base  assessment  on  both  biophysical  and  socio-­‐economic  factors.  To  evaluate  biophysical  conditions  we   have   chosen   variables   that   have   been   proved   to   have   greater   impact   on   farmland  abandonment:   land   quality   (expressed   as   bonitet),   relief,   land-­‐use   and   size   of   grassland  (Vinogradovs  et  al.,  2016).  Based  on  calculations  of  relative  risk  hierarchical  matrix  of  risk  levels  for  grassland  categories  were  created.  

Additional  site  level  socio-­‐economic  factors  (Terress,  2013)  were  explored  through  questionary  of  land  owners,  thus  supplementing  previous  studies  and  revealing  importance  of  such  factors  as  farmers/land  owners  age,  residence,  presence  of  successor  and  spatial  parameters  of  farm  (size,   fragmentation)   as   well   as   legal   status   and   possible   burdens.   It   would   be   possible   to  improve  results  by  adding  data  on  comparison  of  farm  income  compared  to  regional/national  average  and  share  of  subsidies  in  farm’s  income.  

To  represent  situation  on  national  level  and  clarify  context  of  site/farm  specific  risks  (works  also  opposite)   we   analysed   drivers   of   farmland   abandonment   on   regional/municipal   level.   At  regional   or   national   levels,   imbalanced   economic   development   between   sectors   (agriculture,  industry  and  services)  increases  the  risk  of  abandonment.    Same  has  been  reported  for  inactive  land  market  (Terres  et  al.,  2015).  Presence  of  high  share  of  abandoned  land  (>20%)  and  natural  afforestation   is   considered   as   important   indicator   of   risk   of   farmland   abandonment.  Remoteness   from   regional   centres,   low   population   density   and   decline   of   population   are  traditional   indicators  for  marginalization  and  thus  were  used  for  risk  assessment  as  additional  correction  indices.  

Matrix  for  risk  of  abandonment  was  created  (Annex  No.2);  as  base  categories  were  used  -­‐  class  of  dominating  site  level  risk  (where  available)  or  dominating  land  cover  type.  We  do  not  intend  to   equalize   these   divisions   but   rather   substitute   former  with   later   as   a   potentiality   to   assess  rough  results  before  detailed  assessment  was  done.  The  weight  of  the  indices  is  assessed  using  expert  judgment  method.  Till  this  is  done  default  index  +1  is  used.

Policy  objectives  (for  municipal  or  national  level)    

The  Tool  should  have  a  possibility  to  simulate  ES  trade-­‐offs  in  the  scope  of  management  plans  with   spatial   dimension   (landscape  management   plans,   nature   frame,   NATURA   2000   network  and  etc.).  This  should  help  for  decision  makers  or  planners  to  plan  interventional  measures  or  develop  managerial   and   financial  measures  based  on  ecosystem  approach.   It   should  allow   to  calculate  ES  value  in  selected  polygons  and  see  ES  trade-­‐offs  by  changing  land  use.  

Summary  of  cross  logic  of  relevant  policies  targeted  to  the  grassland  management,  developed  within  action  A1,  concluded:  

Environmental/nature   conservation   policy   has   high   positive   impact   in   the   Baltic   States.   It  creates   preconditions   for   management   of   semi-­‐natural   grasslands,   sets   objectives   for  restoration,   maintenance   of   ecosystems   by   grazing   and   mowing,   biodiversity   protection  provides   guides   and   rules   for   good  management   of   grasslands,   defines   conditions   for   nature  conservation  subsidies  for  management  of  semi-­‐natural  grasslands  (case  in  Estonia),  etc.  It  also  defines  concrete  targets  to  be  reached  e.g.:  

● Rural   development   policy   gives   strong   direct   and   mostly   positive   impact.   Besides  providing   support   and   subsidies   for   farmers   and   landowners,   it   sets   requirements   for  management   and  maintenance  of   biologically   valuable   grasslands,   ensuring   long   term  (at   least  5   years)  management.   It   requires  not  decreasing   the   total   area  of   supported  grasslands,  requests  mowing  and  gazing,  removal  of  the  excess  grass  from  the  meadow,  prohibits   land   cultivation,   requests   elimination   of   invasive   species,   and   provides  guidelines   for   management   of   biologically   valuable   grasslands.   However   there   are  several  policy  shortcomings.    For  example,  in  Latvia,  subsidies  are  envisaged  only  for  the  already  existing  and  approved  biologically  valuable  grasslands,  thus  not  contributing  to  the   increase   of   overall   coverage   of   grasslands   in   the   country.  Moreover,   the   support  available   for   maintenance   of   grasslands   is   in   the   range   from   55-­‐330   EUR/ha   (for  maintenance  by  grazing  25-­‐58  EUR/ha)   that  might  not  be  attractive  enough.  Subsidies  for  cultivation  of  arable  land  are  more  beneficial  than  for  maintenance  of  biodiversity  in  grasslands.  Even  for  organic  farming  subsidies  are  higher  (97-­‐485  EUR/ha).    

Agri-­‐environmental   measures   of   RDPs   in   general   contribute   mostly   positively   to   delivery   of  ecosystem  services,  with  exception  of  measures  for  afforestation  of  non-­‐used  agriculture  land,  which  are  limiting  the  potential  for  provisioning  of  crops  and  products  from  reared  animals  as  well  as  resulting  in  loss  of  cultural  landscape  and  related  services.  The  measures  for  support  of  agriculture   production,   including   single   area   payments,   mostly   have   positive   impact   on  provisioning  services,  while  can  have  adverse  impact  on  regulating  and  cultural  services.

Land  use  options    

The   Tool   shall   provide   to   planners   or   decision   makers   the   possibility   to   simulate   land   use  change  and  to  see  variations  of  ES  values.  The  users  should  know  whether  and  to  which  extent  land  use  change  will  affect  the  delivery  of  an  ES  and  to  see  identified  its  optimum  location.  The  model   of   the   Tool   shall   help   to   decide   on   the   current   ES   values   and   provide   a   proposal   for  optimal  land  use  and  to  see  an  assessed  risk  for  the  land  to  be  abandoned.  The  model  shall  help  planners  to  understand  which  land  use  composition  will  generate  biggest  value  of  public  goods.  However,  for  this  purpose  the  model  must  not  only  consider  grasslands  land  cover  but  also  the  arable  and  abandoned  land.    

 

Technical  requirements  for  development  of  the  Tool

Software  architecture    

Principal  software  components    

Software   architecture   is   based   on   ArcGIS   products   family.   Data   management,   map   design,  publishing  tasks  are  performed  in  the  internal  network  of  hosting  organization  using  ArcGIS  for  Desktop   (ArcMap).   Map   services   published   to   ArcGIS   for   server   are   managed   on   Portal   for  ArcGIS.  Portal  allows  to  limit  access  to  specific  map  and  geoprocessing  task  resources  to  specific  user  groups;  using  portal  map  different  map  services  are  combined  into  one  map  resource.  This  map  is  basis  for  the  web  map  application.  

Web  map  tools  are  built  as  application  using  ArcGIS  Web  application  builder.  Software  itself  has  a   rich   set   of   configurable   tools   for   controlling   map   appearance,   layers,   measurement,   etc.  Specific   functionality,   required   to   perform   ecosystem   assessment   and   analysis   are   python-­‐based   geoprocessing   tasks   published   to   ArcGIS   for   Server,   included   into   web   mapping  application  using  customized  user  interface  for  input  and  output  parameters  (custom  widgets).    Web  applications  are  built  internally  and  then  deployed  to  web  applications  hosting  site.  Web  applications,   map   and   geoprocessing   resources   can   be   limited   to   specific   user   groups   using  Portal  authentication  mechanism.    

To   ensure   reachability   of   the   internal   web   applications   in   the   Internet,   hosting   organization  must  configure  external  web  server  (reverse  proxy),  to  forward  requests  to  ArcGIS  web  adaptor  and  Web  applications  hosting  site.
