Abstract:
... Urban biodiversity is now recognized as playing a critical role in supporting global biodiversity. However, it is important to note that biodiversity is a systematic and holistic concept and prior studies have not generally focused on cross-border or multi-scale management problems. On one hand, the ecosystems of cities are interconnected with adjacent cities by natural landscapes, so they are lik ...

Abstract:
... The interaction relationship of ecosystem services (ESs) is among the most critical objective in natural resource management. However, a complexity of the spatial heterogeneity of delivering multiple ESs from social-ecological system was seldomly considered. To enhance the linkage between the spatial concordance and interaction relationship of ESs, we presented a multi-criteria framework for ident ...

Abstract:
... Ecological systems can exist under multiple stable states for a specific set of environmental conditions. Perturbations can shift ecosystems to alternative stable states, and these changes are difficult to reverse. This is a concept known as hysteresis. Current management methods for system recovery require considerable effort. A model for system recovery that requires small changes in a target co ...
