Using Participatory Scenario Planning to Identify Ecosystem Services in Changing Landscapes
There is a growing interest in assessing ecosystem services to improve ecosystem management in landscapes containing a mix of different ecosystems. While methodologies for assessing ecosystem services are constantly improving, only little attention has been given to the identification of which ecosystem services to assess. Service selection is mostly based on current state of the landscape alth...
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 کاملSustaining ecosystem services in cultural landscapes
Classical conservation approaches focus on the man-made degradation of ecosystems and tend to neglect the socialecological values that human land uses have imprinted on many environments. Throughout the world, ingenious land-use practices have generated unique cultural landscapes, but these are under pressure from agricultural intensification, land abandonment, and urbanization. In recent years...
متن کاملFuture ecosystem services in a Southern African river basin: a scenario planning approach to uncertainty.
Scenario planning is a promising tool for dealing with uncertainty, but it has been underutilized in ecology and conservation. The use of scenarios to explore ecological dynamics of alternative futures has been given a major boost by the recently completed Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a 4-year initiative to investigate relationships between ecosystem services and human well-being at multipl...
متن کاملA Scenario Planning Framework for Australian Landscapes
Future landscapes are the result of many different processes, some controllable and some not, some predictable and others less so. This lack of predictability and controllability are real challenges to landscape planners and modellers alike who are interested in medium to long-term futures. Scenarios are a standard tool for dealing with and describing variation in the future, however it is impo...
