Functional traits, the phylogeny of function, and ecosystem service vulnerability
(Wiley, 2013-09)
People depend on benefits provided by ecological systems. Understanding how these ecosystem services – and the ecosystem properties underpinning them – respond to drivers of change is therefore an urgent priority. We address ...
Incorporating plant functional diversity effects in ecosystem service assessments
(National Academy of Sciences, 2007-12)
Global environmental change affects the sustained provision of a wide set of ecosystem services. Although the delivery of ecosystem services is strongly affected by abiotic drivers and direct land use effects, it is also ...
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 ...
Regional patterns of ecosystem functional diversity in the Argentina Pampas using MODIS time-series
(Elsevier Science, 2018-01)
The characterization of ecosystem functioning is significant for different purposes such as biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. A key aspect of ecosystem functioning is carbon gains, since it represents the ...
The emergence of the ecosystem management function in B2B firms
(2022-04-01)
Ecosystem management (EM) encompasses all the activities required to design and manage ecosystems for distributed value creation. Although the literature represents a growing body of knowledge on the unique challenges ...
A framework for the classification Chilean terrestrial ecosystems as a tool for achieving global conservation targets
(Springer, 2017)
Countries that are signatories of the Convention of Biological Diversity are committed to the goal of protecting 17% of their natural ecosystems by 2020. The lack of an up-to-date, operational classification and cartography ...
Copper distribution in Mediterranean forest ecosystems Distribución del cobre en ecosistemas forestales de tipo Mediterraneo
(2002)
We have analyzed the distribution of copper concentrations, and the effects of anthropogenic inputs, in the components of two forest ecosystems using a comparative approach. Ecosystem components were defined using a ...
The ecosystem functioning dimension in conservation: Insights from remote sensing
(Springer, 2012-11)
An important goal of conservation biology is the maintenance of ecosystem processes. Incorporating quantitative measurements of ecosystem functions into conservation practice is important given that it provides not only ...
Can ecosystem properties be fully translated into service values? An economic valuation of aquatic plants services
(Ecological Society Of America, 2011-09)
We carried out an integrated analysis of ecosystem services in the Doñana social-ecological system (southwestern Spain), from the providers (different aquatic plant functional groups) to the beneficiaries (different ...
