Accounting for Ecosystem Services in Baltimore,
Maryland: The EcoValue Project Website
Matthew Wilson and Christopher Treg
The EcoValue Project provides an interactive decision
support system for assessing and reporting the
economic value of ecosystem goods and services in
geographic context for the State of Maryland and
Baltimore County. The project combines Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and relational database
technology to provide interactive maps, graphs and
statistics that are dynamically generated by linking
together the best available peer-reviewed valuation
literature and GIS land cover layers in a flexible
web-based platform. Results are downloadable in both
spreadsheet and graphic interchange formats. The
results of this project are now available at:
