Figure 3: — Alignment of SEEA EEA ecosystem services supply and use tables with the National Ecosystem Services Classification System

(a)SEEA EEA ecosystem services supply and use table structure (adapted from December 2015 draft of U.N., 2017)

(b)National Ecosystem Services Classification System structure (adapted from U.S. EPA, 2015)

(c) NESCS structure (b) superimposed on SEEA EEA ecosystem services supply and use table structure (a) to show alignment

* Direct Users could be associated with Direct Uses by nesting or dividing columns under Direct User (Economic Unit), so an Industry, Household, or Government might have Extractive or In-Situ uses of an Ecological End-Product. Under Direct Use, the Non-Use paths are not relevant in SEEA EEA terms, because there is no direct transaction between an Environment and an Economic Unit.
