Résumé
As underlined by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report (2005), it is necessary to take into account and preserve all the functions and connected services associated with ecosystems. Therefore, agroecosystems such as grasslands, covering near one-fifth (19.5%) of the Europeanterritory – rising to 50% of the Walloon utilized agricultural area - and providing importantecosystem services, have to be studied and managed as multifunctional units, opening newopportunities for valorization. This will allow the answering of societal expectations orientedtowards more sustainable agriculture and improved use of natural resources. In this context,the final and main goal of the BIOECOSYS project is the development of a specificmethodology and decision support system for the quantification and valuation of ecosystemservices provided by the grassland ecosystem linked to its history and management, to its soiland climate context, to its location in the landscape and in the socio-ecosystem. To reach thisobjective it is necessary to produce integrated knowledge at the different levels of organizationof grassland agroecosystems: (1) to quantify ecosystem services to integrate them in decision-making processes, and (2) to give a value (economic or not) to the services provided to guidedecision-making choices. A first result of the project, a provisional scheme of grasslandecosystem functioning in relation to the services provided, is presented.
