Abstract

The dataset of the ecosystem services provided by the agricultural areas of the Märkisch-Oderland District-Brandenburg, Germany, contains six standardised indicators of ecosystem service provision, and includes one provisioning service - i) biomass production (PRO), four regulating services - ii) water storage (WAS), iii) carbon stock total (CST), iv) carbon stock potential (CSP), v) habitat for species (HAB), and one cultural service - vi) landscape attractiveness (LAT). The indicators were built from mostly public data, including for example the CORINE Land Cover map, the GSP-FAO soil carbon stock map, and MODIS NDVI and ASTER DEM satellite images.
