- Abstract:
- ... Conceptual frameworks for ecosystem services of (ESCF), such as the cascade framework, have been used for various purposes. In this paper we demonstrate that the structure and content of ESCF are tailored to the user's specific concerns. We discuss which requirements an ESCF needs to fulfil in relation to two cases: when it acts as an organizing structure and when it serves as a model for the valu ...

- Abstract:
- ... Phylogenetic diversity is expected to be an important predictor of ecosystem multifunctionality because distant relatives are often more functionally different than close relatives. However, the general extent of non-random linkages between phylogeny and ecosystem services remains unclear. In this study, we examined phylogenetic clustering and associations of beneficial attributes of tree species ...

- Abstract:
- ... Ecosystem service (ES) assessments are widely promoted as a tool to support decision-makers in ecosystem management, and the mapping of ES is increasingly supported by the spatial data on ecosystem properties provided by Earth Observation (EO). However, ES assessments are often associated with high levels of uncertainty, which affects their credibility. We demonstrate how different types of inform ...

- Abstract:
- ... Despite arguments justifying the need to consider how cultural ecosystem services are coproduced by humans and nature, there are currently few approaches for explaining the relationships between humans and ecosystems through embodied scientific realism. This realism recognises that human–environment connections are not solely produced in the mind, but through relations between mind, body, culture ...

Among them, green roofs are particularly fashionable, and are in high demand by citizens, politicians, urban planners and architects. Surprisingly, the functioning of green roofs and the impact of substrate type have been so far poorly studied and impede to optimize a green roof and its substrate to provide target ...

Here, we describe a spatial mismatch between monetary-equivalent production (actual use of this service) and the estimated potential supply of edible and medicinal wild plants in Japan, and how the balance between actual use and potent ...

Recently, also societal aspects have been introduced into PA management via the introduction of the Ecosystem Services (ES) approach. This review discusses the historical background of PAs, PA management, and the ES approach. We then discuss the relevance and applicability of the ES approach for PA management, ...

- Abstract:

Complex approaches may be time- and data-intensive, making them more challenging to implement and difficult to scale, but can produce more accurate and locally specific results. In contrast, simple approaches allow for faster assessments but may sacrific ...
