For structuring the impact areas related to the supply of ecosystem services, we use the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES). It uses a hierarchical classification and represents a standard that facilitates comparability and upscaling of ecosystem service research. More information on the CICES classification can be found under www.cices.eu.
Please start by selecting a CICES section.
