More from the Eco-system Services Files

Via World Changing editor (and fellow Seattle-ite) Alex Steffen, Bob Costanza's research team at UVM will create a eco-system services metric that can be tuned to any place on the planet. Very nifty. From talking with folks who are much more GIS savvy than I, their issue with previous systems, like American Forests' CITYGreen, was that it was not "robust" enough for hardcore, science-based geographers. This promises to remedy that.
