Class boundaries used to transform the applied ecosytem service indicators to a relative scale of potential supply of the specific ecosystem services
| Potential ecosystem service supply (relative scale) | 0 (no) | 1 (very low) | 2 (low) | 3 (medium) | 4 (high) | 5 (very high) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Crop provision (CP) Indicator: potential arable yield (t/ha winter barley) |
0 | ≤ 2500 | 2500 to < 2875 | 2875 to < 3250 | 3250 to < 3625 | ≥ 3625 |
|
Water filtration (WF) Indicator: nitrate leaching vulnerability (water exchange rate) (%/a) |
- | ≥ 250 | 150 to < 250 | 100 to < 150 | 70 to < 100 | < 70 |
|
Water flow regulation (WFR) Indicator: water storage capacity (mm) |
0 | < 50 | 50 to < 90 | 90 to < 140 | 140 to < 200 | ≥ 200 |
|
Fresh water provision (FWP) Indicator: percolation rate (mm/a) |
0 | < 200 | 200 to < 250 | 250 to < 300 | 300 to < 350 | ≥ 350 |
