Potential for outdoor recreational and leisure opportunities offered by the ecosystems of the province of Barcelona based on the degree of naturalness, protection of the natural environment and proximity to water-related elements.

Conservation index to determine a single conservation value of the vertebrates of all UTM squares 1x1 km from the scope of the SITxell project. The following groups of terrestrial vertebrates have been considered: mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds (wintering and nesting). The methodology followed was: Union of information from nesting and wintering birds considering the maximum conservation value of each of the species in each of the squares. The ICONS values ??of each species and square, both birds and mammals, amphibians and reptiles, have been calculated, raising the conservation value to the fourth power, the maximum power used in the separate maps (that of birds ). Finally, the ICONST value was calculated: the ICONS value corresponding to each bird species was added to each square according to its phenology and the ICONS values ??of each species present in amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Values ??from 0 to 100 have been weighted and represented on the 1x1 UTM grid for the entire SITXELL area.

Mapping of the food supply service for human consumption taking into account the production of agricultural crops. The approximation established is based on the calculation of average agricultural yields in biophysical value (kg / ha and year) of crops for human consumption. An estimate has been made, based on the expert knowledge of Unió de Pagesos technicians, of the percentage of agricultural production destined for human consumption for each agricultural crop group.

Mapping of the erosion regulation service representing the capacity of ecosystems (mainly vegetation) to retain soil and prevent its gradual or sudden erosion (landslides). Due to the lack of empirical data, an approximate quantification based on the potential erodibility index and generic values of soil cover capacity to control erosion was chosen. A polygon layer has been created.
