Ecosystem services mapping for municipal policy: ESTIMAP and zoning for urban beekeeping

Abstract: Pollinating insects are an integral part of cities' natural capital and perform an important ecosystem function with a high degree of relevance to many cultural ecosystem services. Consequently, pollinators serve as a useful proxy for assessing urban biodiversity. Beekeeping has recently emerged as a popular activity in many urban areas and a good deal of the motivation for urban beekeeping for many stems from the cultural and nonconsumptive aspects of beekeeping. Yet the recent increases in domestic honeybee … Show more

“…In the same time, honey bees are perceived as a symbol of biodiversity and ecosystem well-being by many city-dwellers and the media [10]. Many citizens have thus installed colonies as their own contribution to mitigate the pollinator decline [11,12] and urban introductions of honey bee colonies have been promoted by public authorities and decision makers. In many cities, this has translated into very recent and rapid increases in the number of honey bee colonies (e.g.…”

“…Canola, another self-pollinating oilseed crop, also shows a positive association between higher yields and bee diversity (Halinski et al 2018). Beyond agricultural landscapes, research in urban bee ecology aids understanding of bee dynamics in our cities and informs urban bee conservation initiatives (Hernandez et al 2009;Stange et al 2017). Urban beekeeping strengthens residents' connection to nature (Stange et al 2018).…”

“…This model is the basis of the ESTIMAP-pollination modelling framework (Zulian et al 2013b) developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC). Whilst originally developed to support policies at EU level, ESTIMAP provides a flexible framework where users can adapt and introduce new layers of information that are relevant to local specificities of a particular study area, as shown in Zulian et al (2018) and Stange et al (2017). For this reason, the ESTIMAPpollination modelling framework was used in our study to map the pollination ES supply.…”
