Sumario:Lake ecosystems are essential for human well-being. Due to its transboundary nature, connecting terrestrial and aquatic habitats, its environmental processes and functions support a wide array of ecosystem services (ES). Hence, despite its importance in supporting socio-ecologic systems, these freshwater ecosystems are highly impacted due to anthropogenic influence. ES may shed light on the importance of maintaining and restoring lake ecosystems. Hence, despite the increased effort in the last decades to provide robust spatial information, most scientific studies still follow a qualitative approach that carries a great deal of uncertainty and is not uptake by decision-makers. It is necessary to develop quantitative and robust methodologies for mapping ES, especially in the aquatic realm. This study develops several frameworks to map ES in lake ecosystems. Important to highlight is that this study.•develops a quantitative multi-method (biophysical and statistical) toolbox for lake ES multi-temporal mapping.•covers five ES from Provisioning, Regulating & Maintenance, and Cultural sections, namely: (1) Fibres and other materials for construction; (2) Water used for non-drinking purposes; (3) Maintenance of nursery populations; (4) nutrient regulation; and (5) recreation.•addresses three dimensions of ES: supply, flow; and demand.
