<h5 class="style10">Ecosystem services</h5>
<p style="margin-bottom:24px">Ecosystem services (ES) are the
economic benefits provided by nature to humans.
ES can be used to frame
tradeoffs in conservation and economic development.<span>
Examples of ecosystem services include water supply, flood and coastal storm regulation, nutrient regulation and
carbon sequestration and storage.</span></p>
<h5 class="style10">Development background</h5>
<p style="margin-bottom:24px">ARIES is a federally funded
project aiming to provide intelligent support to Ecosystem
Service Assessment and Valuation (ESAV); it started on April
1, 2007 thanks to a $925,000 grant from the National Science
Foundation to the Ecoinformatics Collaboratory at University
of Vermont, Earth Economics, and Conservation International.
Partners from Madagascar to Puget Sound are providing case
studies, data and knowledge to inform the ARIES algorithms.
Demonstration, proof-of-concept, and test releases were made
available starting in summer 2008. A fully functional portal
will be available to the public in the Summer of 2011.</p>
<h5 class="style10">How it works</h5>
<p style="margin-bottom:24px">ARIES encodes relevant
ecological and socioeconomic knowledge to map ES provision,
use, benefit flows – all of which are built according to our
latest understanding of ecosystem services. This is done
through an automated data integration process utilizing an extensive
database featuring global through local scale GIS data and ecosystem
service models. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>ARIES follows the open source
software paradigm; our goal is to have unsupervised access
to ARIES services open and free for all non-profit users,
including members of NGOs, academic, or governmental
institutions. Non-profit users commit to sharing data in
ways that best reflect their mission and sources,
contributing to the growth of the system over time. Access
to ARIES for business and consulting groups will also be
made available through consortium members, whose proceeds
will support the maintenance and growth of the system.</span></p>
