Note: The individual grey scale maps of hydrological ecosystem services meant each classified level of hydrololgical ecosystem services (with only one scale legend), however, the multiple grey scale maps of hydrological ecosystem services meant all four classified level of hydrological ecosystem services (with four scales legend). For each climate change scenario, the numbers of individual and multiple grey scale maps of hydrological ecosystem services were 24 and 6, respectively. Therefore, the total number of individual and multiple grey scale maps of hydrological ecosystem services under baseline climate conditions and climate change was 60.
