This analysis estimates biodiversity value as an ecosystem service in a defined area, suggesting its importance for conservation efforts.
The paper presets results of estimation of biodiversity value as ecosystem service in study area Olomouc Archdiocese territory. The applied method combines analyses of data from a detailed habitat mapping used for establishing the Natura 2000 network in the Czech Republic with results of a GIS analysis of financial values of habitat biodiversity, classified by the BVM method. The BVM method compares individual habitat types according to eight criteria: phylogenetic maturity of plant communities, naturalness, species diversity, structural diversity, and habitat rarity, rarity of species in the habitat, vulnerability, and threat to habitat quality.
