Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Landscapes: A Spatially Explicit Approach to Support Sustainable Soil Management

Table 3

Estimates of service indicator at 60 sampling points (0–30 cm depth) and over the entire study area, under current and future (25-year) land-use scenarios. Overall changes in each indicator were based on differences between supply on an average day under the current scenario and on an average day in 25-year-time under the future scenario.
