Green Infrastructure Neighbourhood Ecosystem Services (GINES) is derived from Tables [D] and [E]. It is an over-arching indicator which assumes a direct relationship between ecosystem health and the availability of regulating and cultural ecosystem services. Its calculation takes into account the fact that landscape artificial intensity reduces the supply of green infrastructure services and, at the same time, increases the number of potential beneficiaries (because of neighbourhood or easier access by transport infrastructures). Not surprisingly, medium-size human settlements will be the best performers regarding accessible GINES. GINES are not only interesting per se. As long as they can be computed by Socio-Ecological Landscape Units and/or grid-cells and reported by river basins and administrative units, GINES can be.
