Effects of management practices on the ecosystem-service multifunctionality of temperate grasslands

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: May 7, 2024

Human wellbeing depends on ecosystem services, highlighting the need for improving ecosystem-service multifunctionality of food and feed production systems. We study Swiss agricultural grasslands to assess how employing combining three widespread aspects grassland management their interactions can enhance 22 plot-level service indicators, as well multifunctionality. The we are i) organic system, ii) an eco-scheme prescribing extensive (without fertilization), iii) harvest type (pasture vs. meadow). While system between play a minor role, main effects considerably shape single services. Moreover, 'extensive management' 'pasture' plot-scale multifunctionality, mostly through facilitating cultural services at expense provisioning These changes in supply occur mainly via land-use intensity, i.e., reduced fertilizer input frequency. In conclusion, diversifying where this is currently homogeneous across farms landscapes depicts important first step improve landscape-scale sustainable To meet societal demand, studied be systematically combined increase that short supply.

Landscapes—a lens for assessing sustainability

Landscape Ecology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 40(2)

There are urgent calls to transition society more sustainable trajectories, at scales ranging from local global. Landscape sustainability (LS), or the capacity for landscapes provide equitable access ecosystem services essential human wellbeing both current and future generations, provides an operational approach monitor these transitions. However, complexity of complicates how what consider when assessing LS. To identify important features that remain challenging in LS assessments guidance strengthen assessments. We conducted two workshops complex under-considered assessments, developed guidelines on better incorporate features. open connected boundaries diversity values as landscape must be considered risk exacerbating offstage burdens power inequalities. avoid pitfalls which emphasize service interactions across interconnected incorporating actors' diverse values. Our a stepping stone researchers practitioners complexities into inform landscape-level decisions actions.

Linking landscape structure and ecosystem service flow

Ecosystem Services, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62, P. 101535 - 101535

Published: June 3, 2023

Despite advances in understanding the effects of landscape structure on ecosystem services (ES), many challenges related to these complex spatial interactions remain. In particular, integration different components service provision chain (supply, demand, and flow) remains poorly understood conceptualized. Here we propose a theoretical framework further explore how flow ES can vary according (i.e. composition configuration) emphasizing role played by configuration supply, neutral areas, as well individual characteristics (e.g., rivalry). For this, expand discussion changes affect flows representation variation led supply-demand ratios. Additionally, this integrating potential areas supply/demand overlap. This novel approach links arrangement (e.g. fragmentation, network complexity, matrix resistance) usually captured metrics, ratios supply demand ES. We discuss application model using widely studied ES, such pollination, pest control natural enemies, microclimate regulation. Finally, research agenda connect presented ideas with other prominent topics that must be developed support management targeting provision. The prominence science calls for contributions give scientific community opportunity reflect underlying mechanisms avoid oversimplified assessments.

Ecosystem services at risk from disturbance in Europe's forests

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 30(3)

Published: March 1, 2024

Abstract Global change impacts on disturbances can strongly compromise the capacity of forests to provide ecosystem services society. In addition, many in Europe are simultaneously provided by forests, emphasizing importance multifunctionality forest assessments. To address policies and management, spatially explicit risk analyses that consider multiple needed. However, we do not yet know which most at from Europe, where respective hotspots are, nor main disturbance agents detrimental provisioning Europe's forests. Here, quantify losing important (timber supply, carbon storage, soil erosion control outdoor recreation) (windthrows, bark beetle outbreaks wildfires) a continental scale. We find up 12% service supply is current disturbances. Soil highest risk, windthrow agent posing risk. Disturbances challenge threatening 19.8 Mha (9.7%) Our results highlight priority areas for management aiming safeguard sustainable services.
