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 ...
Consumer demand for urban forest ecosystem services and disservices: Examining trade-offs using choice experiments and best-worst scaling
Many studies value urban ecosystem service benefits using residents’ willingness to pay and supply-side analyses of ecosystem attributes. But, few studies account for consumer demand and ecosystem disservices. To address ...
Cultural ecosystem services trade-offs arising from agriculturization in Argentina : a case study in Mar Chiquita Basin
(2018-02)
Highlights
•We developed a spatial indicator to assess opportunities for recreation and tourism.
•We found trade-offs between agricultural commodities and this indicator.
•Spatially represented, trade-off was diffuse ...
Forests and water in South America
(JOHN WILEY AND SONS LTD, 2017-02-28)
South America is experiencing rapid change in forest cover, of both native and planted forest. Forest cover loss is primarily attributable to fire, logging, and conversion of native forest to agriculture, pasture, and ...
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 ...
Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in Costa Rica
(2013)
Ecosystems services have become a key concept
in understanding the way humans benefit from
ecosystems. In Costa Rica, a pioneer national
scheme of payment provides compensation for forest
conservation that is assumed ...
Trade-offs in water and carbon ecosystem services with land-use changes in grasslands
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-09)
Increasing pressures for food, fiber, and fuel continue to drive global land‐use changes. Efforts to optimize ecosystem services under alternative land uses are often hampered by the complex interactions and trade‐offs ...
