Ecosystem service supply and vulnerability to global change in Europe.
Global change will alter the supply of ecosystem services that are vital for human well-being. To investigate ecosystem service supply during the 21st century, we used a range of ecosystem models and scenarios of climate and land-use change to conduct a Europe-wide assessment. Large changes in climate and land use typically resulted in large changes in ecosystem service supply. Some of these tr...
متن کاملEnvironmental 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 the Vulnerability of Eco-Environmental Health to Climate Change
There is an urgent need to assess the vulnerability of eco-environmental health to climate change. This paper aims to provide an overview of current research, to identify knowledge gaps, and to propose future research needs in this challenging area. Evidence shows that climate change is affecting and will, in the future, have more (mostly adverse) impacts on ecosystems. Ecosystem degradation, p...
متن کاملConceptualizing Pattern Analysis of Spectral Change Relative to Ecosystem Status
Change is recognized as being intrinsic to ecosystems, but is also the essence of instability and the outgrowth of situations that lack sustainability. Change is arguably the most fundamental symptom for onset of abnormality in ecosystem function, and change in change cannot be detected without sufficient monitoring to determine spatial and temporal aspects of characteristic change regimes acro...
