YES
This table presents the different categories of ecosystem services that ecosystem can provide, divided in:
Provisioning Services are ecosystem services that describe the material or energy outputs from ecosystems. They include food, water and other resources.
Regulating Services are the services that ecosystems provide by acting as regulators eg. regulating the quality of air and soil or by providing flood and disease control.
Ecosystem services "that are necessary for the production of all other ecosystem services". These include services such as nutrient recycling, primary production and soil formation.
Cultural Services corresponds nonmaterial benefits people obtain from ecosystems through spiritual enrichment, cognitive development, reflection, recreation, and aesthetic experiences.
EH Principles
Quantification of the hydrological processes at catchment scale and mapping the impacts
ECOHYDROLOGY ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
Sensors and technologies to monitor and quantify different ecohydrological fluxes at the athmosphere-plant-soil-groundwater-water continuum, as well as in-stream ecohydrological processes.
Ecohydrological Infrastructure
eDNA
Faunatechnology
Sapflux, transpiration rates, Eddy covariance, dendrometers, LAI, remote sensing (NDVI)
Phytotechnology
All our flow measurements are analysed under the concept of providing environmental flow. A major issue is the intemittence of the streams in the catchment and thus, a major question: how can environmental flows be provided and extended in the stream system
