Abstract

The ecosystem services (ES) concept has gained great importance within the academic and institutional arenas, being considered as a key element to maintain human well‐being and socio‐ecological systems sustainability. This concept has particular relevance to assess the sustainability in rural‐urban gradients, since cities are very demanding areas. Therefore, one of the major current aims is to include the assessment of these ES within territorial management schemes. Taking as study area the rural‐urban gradient that comprises Sierra Nevada, Granada Valley, and Granada city, we characterized the territory trough the participatory mapping of the supply and demand of nine ES. This exercise allowed us to understand the current flow of ES within the territory, based on the knowledge and experience of 23 local actors, who helped to identify the coupled and decoupled areas regarding ES supply and demand, and the most vulnerable and relevant areas for ES supply. Results highlighted that Granada city is an ES sink, while Sierra Nevada mountain range and Granada Valley have an important value as ES supply areas, becoming key elements within territorial management to ensure the future supply of multiple ES.
