Goal and function of the Tool
The goal of the Tool is to function as an instrument to support planning processes and to facilitate decision-‐making for better and efficient grassland management in the three Baltic States – in particular attention should be given to marginal (both from physician and socioeconomic perspective) high nature value grasslands. It shall help planners and decision makers to understand the overall value of ecosystem services’ and its changes according to land use or management practice change.
The Tool is meant to help to plan and improve various agri-‐environmental and nature conservation measures which will be develop by applying ecosystem planning approach, consider and socioeconomic circumstances. Furthermore, the Tool shall help to illustrate and understand the linkage of main socioeconomic factors driving to land use change and grasslands abandonment.
The Tool shall work based on spatial available data sets, experts valuation of different grasslands categories attributed to each ES indicator; however, additional data from the selected sites could be integrated to generate more precise information about values of ES, to create functional maps and features.

Stakeholders, ES experts’ expectation on the Tool
Summarising interviews with different stakeholders from Baltic States on their expectation from the Tool we synthesised the following suggestions:
● The Tool should be able to provide proposals/ideas/hints for effective resource management by helping to find alternatives for grassland maintenance, business cases and indicate the risk of abandonment.
● It should be an advisory instrument in decision-‐making process to calculate and display most valuable grasslands based on ES valuation criteria and indicators and help to decide locations of “perspective” sites to ensure optimal provisional, regulatory or cultural ES’ output.
● The Tool should provide a generalized information on best measures in terms of biodiversity conservation or in terms of income generation; it shall identify strengths and weaknesses of both and help the planner/decision maker to see what is the most beneficial activity in a particular area.
● It should provide some hints on concrete measures to be applied and propose scenarios for economically valuable grasslands management without RDP payments.
● It shall broaden the view of planners on the planning process itself and support strategic planning processes.

Status
At this stage the Tool should calculate and display current values of ES. The assessment and mapping will be done by applying 3 different methodologies for: the provisional and regulatory ES; cultural ES and risk for abandonment.
Provisional and regulatory ES assessment and mapping The assessment and mapping should be done for each provisional and regulatory indicator. Matrix presented in the Table 1 was developed. Cultural ES will be assessed applying another approach. 5 of the provisional services and 8 regulatory services ES indicators were selected according to the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES)1 classification, as the Tool will consider grasslands, arable land and abandoned land only. The value of the indicators is set based on the following land use classes: grasslands types (cultivated, permanent, semi-‐natural); soil quality (bonitet) and relief type (50 classes in total) (Table 1).

Based on these indicators an ES assessment matrix was developed. At the matrix intersections, the capacities of the different land cover types to supply particular ES are ranked by selected experts on a scale from 0 (no relevant capacity of the particular land cover type to supply the selected ES) to 5 (very high/maximum relevant capacity).
Experts should be selected considering following criteria: his/her expertise relevance to indicator or land use classes; understanding ES concept and assessment approach; basic understanding of spatial planning and GIS engine. It is highly recommended to have one or two key experts for appropriate indicators i.e., botanist, pollination expert, soil expert and etc. Besides of quality, the quantity (number of interviewed persons) of experts is also important. Although it is difficult to provide a generally valid number, 8-‐12 experts may be sufficient in most cases. It has to be considered that the interviewed persons need to be (at least) familiar with the region. A background in ES science and application is highly advantageous but can (due to the novelty of the approach) not be expected in all cases. Then, the concept and the aim of the grassland ES assessment need to be clearly explained (the best, based on prepared material and commonly accepted definitions).
The final assessment matrix filled by the project partners and experts is available at Annex No. 1.

Finally, the ES shall be mapped by the Tool linking the assessment values to the functional units (natural boarders of grasslands type, arable and abandoned land).
Cultural ES assessment and mapping The cultural ES assessment and mapping has two dimensions: if the relevant to cultural ES object has point based record then spatial “impact” zone is drawn by visual impact criteria; if object has spatial dimension than overlapping areas with assessment polygon will have a value. Criteria in details are presented in the Table 2.

Risk for abandonment Farmland abandonment is a complex process with interlinked economic, environmental and social aspects and is often associated with social and economic problems in rural areas. It can be defined as the cessation of agricultural activities on a given surface of land (Pointereau, 2008). Abandonment includes a change towards a less intensive pattern of land use (Baudry, 1991) thus elimination and polarization of landscape mosaics and loss of landscape heterogeneity. Grasslands are agricultural ecosystems which are exposed to higher risk of abandonment than other types of farmland due to their rather marginal economic position (Strijker, 2005).
To assess a risk of abandonment we used composite method of combining analysis of number of drivers for abandonment at several scales. At site/farm level we have chosen to base assessment on both biophysical and socio-‐economic factors. To evaluate biophysical conditions we have chosen variables that have been proved to have greater impact on farmland abandonment: land quality (expressed as bonitet), relief, land-‐use and size of grassland (Vinogradovs et al., 2016). Based on calculations of relative risk hierarchical matrix of risk levels for grassland categories were created.
Additional site level socio-‐economic factors (Terress, 2013) were explored through questionary of land owners, thus supplementing previous studies and revealing importance of such factors as farmers/land owners age, residence, presence of successor and spatial parameters of farm (size, fragmentation) as well as legal status and possible burdens. It would be possible to improve results by adding data on comparison of farm income compared to regional/national average and share of subsidies in farm’s income.
To represent situation on national level and clarify context of site/farm specific risks (works also opposite) we analysed drivers of farmland abandonment on regional/municipal level. At regional or national levels, imbalanced economic development between sectors (agriculture, industry and services) increases the risk of abandonment. Same has been reported for inactive land market (Terres et al., 2015). Presence of high share of abandoned land (>20%) and natural afforestation is considered as important indicator of risk of farmland abandonment. Remoteness from regional centres, low population density and decline of population are traditional indicators for marginalization and thus were used for risk assessment as additional correction indices.
Matrix for risk of abandonment was created (Annex No.2); as base categories were used -‐ class of dominating site level risk (where available) or dominating land cover type. We do not intend to equalize these divisions but rather substitute former with later as a potentiality to assess rough results before detailed assessment was done. The weight of the indices is assessed using expert judgment method. Till this is done default index +1 is used.

Policy objectives (for municipal or national level)
The Tool should have a possibility to simulate ES trade-‐offs in the scope of management plans with spatial dimension (landscape management plans, nature frame, NATURA 2000 network and etc.). This should help for decision makers or planners to plan interventional measures or develop managerial and financial measures based on ecosystem approach. It should allow to calculate ES value in selected polygons and see ES trade-‐offs by changing land use.
Summary of cross logic of relevant policies targeted to the grassland management, developed within action A1, concluded:
Environmental/nature conservation policy has high positive impact in the Baltic States. It creates preconditions for management of semi-‐natural grasslands, sets objectives for restoration, maintenance of ecosystems by grazing and mowing, biodiversity protection provides guides and rules for good management of grasslands, defines conditions for nature conservation subsidies for management of semi-‐natural grasslands (case in Estonia), etc. It also defines concrete targets to be reached e.g.:
● Rural development policy gives strong direct and mostly positive impact. Besides providing support and subsidies for farmers and landowners, it sets requirements for management and maintenance of biologically valuable grasslands, ensuring long term (at least 5 years) management. It requires not decreasing the total area of supported grasslands, requests mowing and gazing, removal of the excess grass from the meadow, prohibits land cultivation, requests elimination of invasive species, and provides guidelines for management of biologically valuable grasslands. However there are several policy shortcomings. For example, in Latvia, subsidies are envisaged only for the already existing and approved biologically valuable grasslands, thus not contributing to the increase of overall coverage of grasslands in the country. Moreover, the support available for maintenance of grasslands is in the range from 55-‐330 EUR/ha (for maintenance by grazing 25-‐58 EUR/ha) that might not be attractive enough. Subsidies for cultivation of arable land are more beneficial than for maintenance of biodiversity in grasslands. Even for organic farming subsidies are higher (97-‐485 EUR/ha).
Agri-‐environmental measures of RDPs in general contribute mostly positively to delivery of ecosystem services, with exception of measures for afforestation of non-‐used agriculture land, which are limiting the potential for provisioning of crops and products from reared animals as well as resulting in loss of cultural landscape and related services. The measures for support of agriculture production, including single area payments, mostly have positive impact on provisioning services, while can have adverse impact on regulating and cultural services.

Land use options
The Tool shall provide to planners or decision makers the possibility to simulate land use change and to see variations of ES values. The users should know whether and to which extent land use change will affect the delivery of an ES and to see identified its optimum location. The model of the Tool shall help to decide on the current ES values and provide a proposal for optimal land use and to see an assessed risk for the land to be abandoned. The model shall help planners to understand which land use composition will generate biggest value of public goods. However, for this purpose the model must not only consider grasslands land cover but also the arable and abandoned land.
Technical requirements for development of the Tool

Calculating cases of abandonment and turning to arable land.
There is a scenario to which land category type land will turn in case of abandonment and after turning into arable land. Abandoned and arable land have different default (predefined) ecosystem service indices.
Simulation workflow:

1. Define target category type in case of abandoned or arable. Table CAT_CHANGE must be used: FROM_CAT – current category; TO_CAT – category to which index changes; CHANGE_TYPE: ABD – abandonment, ARR – arable.
2. Use default assessment value of defined target category. ES assessment values are defined in table DEFAULT_ASMI. CAT – target category, ASMI_CODE – is the index for which the value is assigned, VAL – index value for category.
There must be separate simulations made for abandonment and arable land. Results summarized in table (Annex No. 1).

Software architecture
Principal software components
Software architecture is based on ArcGIS products family. Data management, map design, publishing tasks are performed in the internal network of hosting organization using ArcGIS for Desktop (ArcMap). Map services published to ArcGIS for server are managed on Portal for ArcGIS. Portal allows to limit access to specific map and geoprocessing task resources to specific user groups; using portal map different map services are combined into one map resource. This map is basis for the web map application.
Web map tools are built as application using ArcGIS Web application builder. Software itself has a rich set of configurable tools for controlling map appearance, layers, measurement, etc. Specific functionality, required to perform ecosystem assessment and analysis are python-‐based geoprocessing tasks published to ArcGIS for Server, included into web mapping application using customized user interface for input and output parameters (custom widgets). Web applications are built internally and then deployed to web applications hosting site. Web applications, map and geoprocessing resources can be limited to specific user groups using Portal authentication mechanism.
To ensure reachability of the internal web applications in the Internet, hosting organization must configure external web server (reverse proxy), to forward requests to ArcGIS web adaptor and Web applications hosting site.

Database structure
The main business table, storing information about ES values in grasslands is assessment unit (ASM_UNIT). Values of indices are stored in separate columns for each index (ASM_UNIT), index types are described in table CLS_ASMI, column names must match index code. Performing analysis and evaluation of grasslands it’s important to analyse whole block of grasslands (ASM_BLOCK). Each grassland unit is assigned to country (COUNTRY) and municipality (MUNIC).
In case of abandonment and turning land to arable information from views (conv_abd_view, conv_arr_view) is used. Table CAT_CHANGE represents category change from-‐to, table DEFAULT_ASMI represent default assessment index value for each land category type.
