Environmental accounting for ecosystem conservation: Linking societal and ecosystem metabolisms
This paper proposes an approach to environmental accounting useful for studying the feasibility of socio-economic systems in relation to the external constraints posed by ecological compatibility. The approach is based on a multi-scale analysis of the metabolic pattern of ecosystems and societies and it provides an integrated characterization of the resulting interaction. The text starts with a...
متن کاملAssessing Ecosystem Services to Identify Conservation Priorities
The history of life is fi lled with examples of one species diverging into several, even thousands, each with unique traits geared to the demands of its ecological niche. In the textbook case of adaptive radiation, an ancestral fi nch species landed on the Galapagos Islands just a few million years ago, and evolved into 13 new species with specialized beaks adapted to exploiting the various see...
متن کاملEcosystem Evolution and Conservation
A major problem in conservation biology is to decide the target of conservation: should conservation efforts aim to preserve species or ecosystems? The traditional approach has, by necessity, focused on particular species threatened by extinction. With the increasing attention on preserving biodiversity at large, for which the species-by-species approach falls short, a trend is now emerging tha...
متن کاملConservation Planning for Ecosystem Services
Despite increasing attention to the human dimension of conservation projects, a rigorous, systematic methodology for planning for ecosystem services has not been developed. This is in part because flows of ecosystem services remain poorly characterized at local-to-regional scales, and their protection has not generally been made a priority. We used a spatially explicit conservation planning fra...
متن کاملToward an Ecosystem Approach to Vernal Pool Compensation and Conservation
Current federal regulatory limitations in protecting vernal pools can be attributed to incomplete data on the status of vernal pools statewide, lack of a methodology for assessing the functions of vernal pool ecosystems, failure to incorporate contemporary ecological principles into the development of compensatory mitigation strategies, and a piecemeal regulatory approach that results in admini...
