This study presents a standardized approach to collecting, registering, and reporting field-survey data for baseline MAES (Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services) information in Greece. This is accomplished through a web-based platform (MAES_GR) exclusively developed under the relevant, nation-wide LIFE-IP 4 NATURA project. Based on the European Commission’s guidance for ecosystem condition (EC) and ecosystem services (ES) MAES studies, we conceptualized and structured an online platform to support EC and ES assessments, integrating all relevant fields of information needed for registering EC and ES parameters. A novel algorithm calculating EC was also developed and it is available as an integral part of the platform. The use of the MAES_GR platform was evaluated during nationwide field surveys efforts, increasing time efficiency and reducing costs. Field recording of EC and ES pinpoint spatial priorities for ecosystem restoration, conservation and sustainable development. This work highlights that MAES implementation can be favored by the use of technology tools such as mobile survey platforms, developed according to scientific needs and policy guidelines. Such tools, apart from the data inventory phase, can be used for data analysis, synthesis and extraction, providing timely, standardized information suitable for reporting at the local, regional, national and European Union scale.

MAES_GR：在希腊实施MAES的基于Web的，空间启用的现场调查平台

这项研究提出了一种标准化的方法，用于收集，注册和报告希腊的基线MAES（生态系统及其服务的制图和评估）信息的现场调查数据。这是通过在相关的全国性LIFE-IP 4 NATURA项目下独家开发的基于Web的平台（MAES_GR）来完成的。根据欧洲委员会针对生态系统状况（EC）和生态系统服务（ES）MAES研究的指南，我们概念化并构建了一个在线平台来支持EC和ES评估，整合了注册EC和ES参数所需的所有相关信息领域。还开发了一种计算EC的新颖算法，该算法可作为平台的组成部分使用。在全国范围内的实地调查工作中评估了MAES_GR平台的使用情况，提高时间效率并降低成本。EC和ES的现场记录指出了生态系统恢复，保护和可持续发展的空间优先次序。这项工作强调，通过使用根据科学需求和政策指南开发的技术工具（例如移动调查平台）可以促进MAES的实施。除数据清单阶段外，此类工具还可用于数据分析，综合和提取，提供适时，标准化的信息，适合在本地，区域，国家和欧盟范围内进行报告。这项工作强调，通过使用根据科学需求和政策指南开发的技术工具（例如移动调查平台）可以促进MAES的实施。除数据清单阶段外，此类工具还可用于数据分析，综合和提取，提供适时，标准化的信息，适合在本地，区域，国家和欧盟范围内进行报告。这项工作强调，通过使用根据科学需求和政策指南开发的技术工具（例如移动调查平台）可以促进MAES的实施。除数据清单阶段外，此类工具还可用于数据分析，综合和提取，提供适时，标准化的信息，适合在本地，区域，国家和欧盟范围内进行报告。
