Summary
This report includes pilot accounts for ecosystem services for Denmark in physical units. The ecosystem services included are mainly of the provisioning type: plants (crops, timber, etc.) and animals (fish, wild terrestrial animals), as well groundwater. Ecosystem services of the cultural type are also included, but data sources for these allow for much less detail in these accounts. All the ecosystem services are presented in the form of supply and use tables. As far as possible, they are also presented in the form of maps showing the geographical distribution of supply.
