Service Description: THIS LAYER HAS BEEN PRODUCED FOR QA ONLY.

Hotspots of stock depletion for each of the four natural capital assets (atmosphere, water, soil and sediments, biodiversity) were identified by extracting the 20% of grid cells with the highest depletion values from each individual asset layer. The combined map of terrestrial depletion was created by overlaying the four natural capital asset hotspot layers, and summing for each grid cell how many asset hotspots are present, to obtain a value between 0 (the area was not a hotspot of depletion for any asset) to four (the area was a hotspot of depletion for all four assets).

Name: Encore/EU_COM_TER_DEP_HS

Description:

The overlap of hotspots highlights areas where multiple natural capital assets are simultaneously under pressure, with high depletion in recent years (or in the case of biodiversity relative to an intact natural habitat baseline). Such overlaps are to be expected, as many drivers of depletion, such as land‑use change, industrial and urban emissions and climate stress tend to affect several assets at once. These overlapping hotspots may signal higher potential risk or priority for intervention, as well as opportunities for restoration, protection and policy targeting. These overlapping hotspots reflect where specific natural capital assets show recent elevated pressure or degraded condition relative to other areas covered in the available datasets. They do not imply that these countries are less ecologically intact overall.

When interpreting the significance of these results, the relevance of a hotspot to a company, regulator or policy maker will depend on several factors, including: the type of the economic dependency considered, the ecological context and local impacts.
