Case studies
Overview
ARIES was initially developed around a series of case studies, designed to model multiple ecosystem services across varied ecological and socioeconomc settings. Case studies are designed using local, typically high-resolution spatial datasets and models that account for locally-important ecological and socioeconomic variables that influence ecosystem service provision and use. The map below shows the ARIES case studies that are currently available. ARIES will eventually incorporate a series of generalized global models that rely on coarser scale global spatial datasets and generalized relationships to model the provision, use, and spatial dynamics of ecosystem services.
