Growing concern about the loss of ecosystem services (ES) promotes their spatial representation as a key tool for internalization ES framework into land use policies. Paradoxically, mapping approaches meant to inform policy decisions focus on magnitude and distribution biophysical supply ES, largely ignoring social mechanisms by which these influence human wellbeing. If affecting demand, enhancing it or reducing it, are taken more account, then policies effective. By developing applying new...

Abstract Grasslands have been modified and replaced worldwide affected water regulation ecosystem services. In order to support public policies attending the consequences of different grassland modifications replacements, general patterns models about their on are needed. We quantitatively meta‐analysed results 110 site‐specific studies analysing infiltration (83) evapotranspiration (28) responses grasslands alterations by grazing, crops, afforestation how these vary with environmental...

Abstract Questions: Is post‐dispersal seed predation a factor contributing to positive feedback mechanism for dominance of tall‐tussock grasslands? Do seeds dispersed into neighbouring microhabitats contrasting differ in their probabilities being predated? Does rate vary among predator groups? eaters selectively forage the available seeds? Location: The southern and flooding sub‐regions Argentinian Pampas. Methods: We examined by vertebrate invertebrate predators within two grassland mosaics...

The Dulce Creek Basin (1000 km2) is situated in the Buenos Aires's Sate and flows into Mar Chiquita lagoon, (MAB Biosphere Reserve – UNESCO). While land cover on upper basin dominated by field crops, low mostly occupied livestock grazing systems. increased use of inputs (agricultural intensification), a high degree riverside vegetation's degradation zone, represent an increasing pollution risk for surface water bodies groundwater. aim this work was to find suitable driving factors dynamic...

There is a growing consciousness that the viability of landscape-related policy depends on support from general public. However, during planning stages, knowledge regarding landscape perceptions and preferences people generally absent or limited. This study presents an observer-based assessment, applying physical attribute approach to measure visual based photographs. Data age, gender, place residence, income education level were collected by means country-wide online questionnaire (n°...

Illegal fishing in small-scale fisheries is a contentious issue and resists straightforward interpretation. Particularly, there little knowledge regarding cooperative interactions between legal illegal fishers the potential effects on arising from these interactions. Taking Chilean king crab (Lithodes santolla; common name centolla) fishery as case study, our goal twofold: (i) to model effect of illegal-legal fishers' (ii) analyze how management social behavior affect fishery's outcomes. We...

Riparian vegetation strips (RVS) reduce surface runoff volume and retain sediments, pesticides nutrients that are transported across them from adjacent crop-fields (CF). The ability of these to glyphosate has been demonstrated using experimental plots, but the spatial variability process is unknown. In this work, influence microtopography inside RVS on retention (and its major metabolite, AMPA), phosphorus nitrogen were analyzed within a agricultural landscapes. Retention levels outside...

Despite academic efforts to mainstream the ecosystem services (ES) approach, its operationalization in environmental governance still faces limitations. This is due, among other reasons, disparate visions stakeholders have on what ES or should be. In this study we explored how individual characteristics of and government influence their preferences for distinct modes ES-based governance, namely hierarchical, scientific-technical, adaptive-collaborative, economic-strategic. To purpose,...
