Urbanization can profoundly alter socioecological relationships, but its influence on how people perceive and value ecosystem services (ES) is poorly understood. We reviewed an emerging literature in which sociocultural valuation of ES compared among urban rural dwellers. This research suggests that, although regulating cultural were highly valued by both dwellers, dwellers tended to provisioning less than did. Differences could result from different experiences, uses, needs for also...
Abstract Urbanization is a key driver of social and environmental change world‐wide. However, our understanding its impacts on the multidimensional well‐being benefits that people obtain from ecosystems remains limited. We explored how contributions land‐ seascapes varied with urbanization level in Solomon Islands, fast‐urbanizing Small Island Developing State. Drawing framework, we compared perceived derived ecosystem services paired urban rural sites. Our analysis 200 semi‐structured...
Urbanization profoundly transforms ecosystems and the bundles of services they provide to people. The relationship between urbanization how ecosystem are produced together form has received increased research interest. However, there is limited understanding people's perceptions benefits receive from service change with urbanization, particularly in Global South. Addressing this gap critical given influence people relate to, use manage their environment. We used a paired sampling design...
The invasion of Norway maple (Acer platanoides) into North American forests is considered to have deleterious effects on native flora richness. One explanation for maple's success that it may escaped its natural enemies and thus less predated upon than indigenous congener, sugar saccharum). However, has been recently reunited with one from Europe, Rhytisma acerinum, an adventive fungus causes tar spot disease. study reported here quantified the impacts disease growth survival maple. In urban...

Invasive shade tolerant species can have profound and long-lasting detrimental effects even on previously undisturbed forests. In North American forests, the invasive Acer platanoides is capable of dominating understory where it could displace native saccharum. To understand relative importance various ecological factors in a forest their establishment, we transplanted A. saccharum seedlings an urban sugar maple growth survival were compared over growing season. Seedlings did not differ...
Under global environmental change, understanding the interactions between people and nature has become critical for human survival. Comparative research can identify trends within social-ecological systems providing key insights both developmental research. Island systems, with clear land boundaries, have been proposed as ideal case studies comparative research, but it is unclear to what extent their potential fulfilled. To summarize existing gaps new directions, we reviewed on Pacific Large...
