Water sources' key role in the Vomb basin biosphere reserve. An analysis of ecosystem services.
(2022) MVEK12 20221Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC)
- Abstract
- This study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources
that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score based on the status of indicators was given to each of the four ecosystem services for every water source. The study was limited to Lund Municipality. The results were as follows. Both provisioning and cultural services turned out to be in a bad status in most water sources. Regulating services had moderate status in most water sources. For... (More) - This study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources

Regulating services had moderate status in most water sources. For supporting services, an equal number of water sources had good and moderate status respectively. The conclusion is that better information should be available about cultural facilities as well as provisioning services such as fishing. Ecological status needs to be classified for many of the small lakes in the area such as Bysjön and Gröne damm. For future studies, it is of interest to include smaller water sources such as wetlands. It would also be of benefit to assess ecosystem services for the whole biosphere reserve inclusive of all the 3 municipalities. (Less) - Popular Abstract (Swedish)
- Denna studie gjordes för att få en förståelse för vikten av 12 vattenkällor
som finns i Vomb biosfärområdet. För att göra det, genomfördes en ekosystemtjänstanalys som inkluderade de fyra följande typerna av ekosystemtjänster: försörjande, stödjande, reglerande och kulturella tjänster. Ekosystemtjänstanalysen gjordes med hjälp av indikatorer för varje tjänst. Ett slutresultat baserat på status för indikatorer gavs till var och en av de fyra ekosystemtjänsterna för varje vattenkälla. Studien var begränsad till Lunds kommun. Resultaten var som följande. Både försörjande och kulturella tjänster visade sig vara i dålig status i de flesta vattenkällor. Reglerande tjänster hade måttlig status i de flesta vattentäkter. Stödjande tjänster hade...

Både försörjande och kulturella tjänster visade sig vara i dålig status i de flesta vattenkällor. Reglerande tjänster hade måttlig status i de flesta vattentäkter. Stödjande tjänster hade lika många vattentäkter med god respektive måttlig status. Slutsatsen är att bättre information bör finnas tillgänglig om kulturella anläggningar och om försörjande tjänster som fiske. Ekologisk status behöver klassificeras för många av de små sjöarna i området som Bysjön och Gröne damm. För framtida studier är det av intresse att inkludera mindre vattentäkter som våtmarker. Det skulle också vara en fördel att utvärdera ekosystemtjänster för hela biosfärområdet inklusive alla tre kommuner. (Less)
