Land use intensity indirectly affects ecosystem services mainly through plant functional identity in a temperate forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
Land‐use change is known to affect biodiversity, and there is increasing concern regarding how these changes may impact the provision of ecosystem services. Although functional composition (diversity and identity) could ...
Role of reef-building, ecosystem engineering polychaetes in shallow water ecosystems
(MDPI AG, 2019-09)
Although the effect of ecosystem engineers in structuring communities is common in several systems, it is seldom as evident as in shallow marine soft-bottoms. These systems lack abiotic three-dimensional structures but ...
Cultural ecosystem services trade-offs arising from agriculturization in Argentina: A case study in Mar Chiquita Basin
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
The agriculturization process reflects both the expansion and intensification of land use arising from the generalization of industrial cropping in Argentina. This process has potentially deep and partially unknown trade-offs ...
Distinct ecosystem types respond differentially to grazing exclosure
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
Here, we evaluate the ecosystem functioning and the ecosystems services supply of different vegetation types (grasslands, shrublands and woodlands) under contrasting management regimes by comparing a protected area with ...
Recreation potential assessment at large spatial scales: A method based in the ecosystem services approach and landscape metrics
(Elsevier Science, 2014-04)
Ecosystem services (ES) is a useful framework for land-use decision making oriented to, ensure human well-being. Outdoor recreation potential, as a cultural ecosystem service, pose, particular challenges to its evaluation ...
Focusing conservation efforts on ecosystem service supply may increase vulnerability of socio-ecological systems
(Public Library of Science, 2016-05)
Growing concern about the loss of ecosystem services (ES) promotes their spatial representation as a key tool for the internalization of the ES framework into land use policies. Paradoxically, mapping approaches meant to ...
Concepts and methods for landscape multifunctionality and a unifying framework based on ecosystem services
(Springer, 2013-04)
The potential of landscapes to supply multiple benefits to society beyond commodities production has received increasing research and policy attention. Linking the concept of multifunctionality with the ecosystem services ...
Adding the temporal dimension to spatial patterns of payment for ecosystem services enrollment
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs are increasingly emphasized to address challenges of conserving forests. However, concerns remain regarding the ability of PES programs to ensure long-term conservation of ...
Land cover changes and ecosystem services at the Negro River Basin, Argentina: what is missing for better assessing nature’s contribution?
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-03)
Ecosystem services are critical to sustaining human activity on freshwater systems since food, energy, and water provision directly depends on them. Identifying and monitoring ecosystem services can contribute to a better ...
Spatial patterns of cultural ecosystem services provision in Southern Patagonia
(Springer, 2016-02)
Context
Although there is a need to develop a spatially explicit methodological approach that addresses the social importance of cultural ecosystem services for regional planning, few studies have analysed the spatial ...
