Implications of climate and land-use change for landscape processes, biodiversity, ecosystem services, and governance
This introduction to the Special Issue summarizes the results of 14 scientific articles from the interdisciplinary research program Ekoklim at Stockholm University, Sweden. In this program, we investigate effects of changing climate and land use on landscape processes, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, and analyze issues related to adaptive governance in the face of climate and land-use cha...
متن کاملThe Effect of Change in Land Use on the indicators of Ecosystem Function and Soil Erosion via Landscape Function Analysis Method (LFA)
1- INTRODUCTION Over the past few decades, the objective of the evaluation and monitoring of the optimal utilization of sustainable natural resource services and ecosystem performance has been the successor to the ecosystem structure. Tongway and Hindley introduced a Landscape Function Analysis (LFA) method in 2004 to evaluate the ecosystem Function. In the new method, soil is considered as th...

متن کاملSoil water balance and ecosystem response to climate change.
Some essential features of the terrestrial hydrologic cycle and ecosystem response are singled out by confronting empirical observations of the soil water balance of different ecosystems with the results of a stochastic model of soil moisture dynamics. The simplified framework analytically describes how hydroclimatic variability (especially the frequency and amount of rainfall events) concurs w...
متن کاملThe Biogeography of Microbial Communities and Ecosystem Processes: Implications for Soil and Ecosystem Models
We are entering a period of rapid and pronounced environmental change. Understanding how this change will in! uence soil communities is essential for accurate prediction of future climate, biogeochemical cycles, and human well-being. Such reliable prediction is the fundamental test of scienti" c understanding (i.e. can we use knowledge of underlying mechanisms to predict accurately how phenomen...
