Biodiversity mediates relationships between anthropogenic drivers and ecosystem services across global mountain, island and delta systems

چکیده
Global change increasingly threatens nature, endangering the ecosystem services human wellbeing depends upon. Biodiversity potentially mediates these impacts by providing resilience to ecosystems. While biodiversity has been linked and service supply on smaller scales, we lack understanding of whether mediating interactions between anthropogenic drivers are global ubiquitous, how they might differ systems. Here, examine potential for mediate driver-ecosystem relationships using datasets across three distinct systems: mountains, islands deltas. We found that were stronger where was more intact, weaker at higher species richness, reflecting negative correlation intactness richness. Mediation most common in then islands, deltas; reducing with impact. Such patterns provisioning regulating services, occurred commonly climate built infrastructure. Further, investigated contribution abiotic services. Ecosystem associated alongside biodiversity, but all important different Our results empirically show importance accounting roles plays reinforce maintaining intact functioning.

Global Drivers and Tradeoffs of Three Urban Vegetation Ecosystem Services
Our world is increasingly urbanizing which is highlighting that sustainable cities are essential for maintaining human well-being. This research is one of the first attempts to globally synthesize the effects of urbanization on ecosystem services and how these relate to governance, social development and climate. Three urban vegetation ecosystem services (carbon storage, recreation potential an...
متن کاملIntersection between biodiversity conservation, agroecology, and ecosystem services
Agroecological research has improved our understanding of the drivers and benefits of biodiversity, thus providing the scientific basis needed to achieve agricultural multifunctionality. We review how agroecology has contributed to our understanding of the effects of local and landscape level drivers on beneficial insects, as well as on the ecosystem services they provide. Several syntheses fro...
