Towards a Modeling of the Impacts of Road Verge Management on the Pollination Service Using System Dynamics: A Case Study in France

Several research studies have proven that eliciting and predicting the impact of human activity on ecosystem services will be crucial to support stakeholders’ awareness decide how interact with environment in a more sustainable manner. In this sense, ecosystems known as road verges are particularly important because their length surface at an international scale, role mitigating damage done by roads. Plant pollination insects is one most services. Because its nature fact they extend across variety landscapes, roadside can contribute maintenance healthy ecosystems, under condition adapted management practices. This first attempt develop System Dynamics-based aiming estimate ecological economic verge service France. Maintenance strategies simulated compare performance. The results show there ways improve current terms value, but also model needs consider other synergistic effects could further affect obtain accurate estimations.
