Annotation
The focus of this dissertation is on mapping green infrastructure features in agricultural landscapes and their impact on the provision of regulating ecosystem services, particularly soil and climate benefits. In particular, attention should be paid to the assessment of the benefits of ecosystems implemented in the new Common Agricultural Policy, the design of indicators to monitor to what extent they contribute to the improvement of the ecology of agricultural landscapes and thus to the provision of selected ecosystem services. We can assess the condition of the soil using individual indicators, on the basis of measurements on the ground as well as using available remote sensing (RS) data with high spatial and temporal resolution.
