Significance Ecosystem services derive from ecosystem functions and rely on complex interactions among a diversity of organisms. By understanding the relationships between biodiversity, functions, humans receive nature, we can anticipate how changes in land use will affect ecosystems human wellbeing. We show that increasing land-use intensity homogenizes synergies three organizational levels ecosystem, namely, services. Increasing keystone components, which are important for functioning...
Trade-offs and synergies in the supply of forest ecosystem services are common but drivers these relationships poorly understood. To guide management that seeks to promote multiple services, we investigated between 12 stand-level attributes, including structure, composition, heterogeneity plant diversity, plus 4 environmental factors, proxies for 14 150 temperate plots. Our results show attributes best predictors most also good several trade-offs services. Environmental factors play an...
The ecosystem services framework has enabled the broader public to acknowledge benefits nature provides different stakeholders. However, not all stakeholders benefit equally from these services. Rather, power relationships are a key factor influencing access of individuals or groups In this paper, we propose an adaptation "cascade" for integrate analysis ecological interactions among and stakeholders' interactions, reflecting that mediate flows. We illustrate its application using floodplain...

Abstract National and local governments need to step up efforts effectively implement the post‐2020 global biodiversity framework of Convention on Biological Diversity halt reverse worsening trends. Drawing recent advances in interdisciplinary science, we propose a for improved implementation by national subnational governments. First, identification actions promotion ownership across stakeholders recognize multiple values account remote responsibility. Second, cross‐sectorial mainstreaming...
Mainstreaming of ecosystem service approaches has been proposed as one path toward sustainable development. Meanwhile, critics services question if the approach can account for multiple values ecosystems to diverse groups people, or aspects inter- and intra-generational justice. In particular, an often overlooks power dimensions capabilities that are core environmental This article addresses need greater guidance on incorporating justice into research practice. We point importance deep...
Abstract Context Biodiversity loss is predicted to have significant impacts on ecosystem services based previous ecological work at small spatial and temporal scales. However, scaling up understanding of biodiversity-ecosystem service (BES) relationships broader scales difficult since emerge from complex interactions between ecosystems, people, technology. Objectives In order inform direct future BES research, identify categorise the social-ecological drivers operating different that could...
Abstract Multifunctionality refers to the capacity of an area supply multiple ecosystem functions or services. While many conceptual and methodological advances have focused on defining quantifying multifunctionality, challenge dealing with cross-scale dynamics multifunctionality remains open. This study proposes a new way measuring across spatial scales, illustrated European-wide dataset 18 Our assessment captures not only diversity services supplied within each municipality (...
Social-ecological interactions have been shown to generate interrelated and reoccurring sets of ecosystem services, also known as service bundles. Given the potential utility bundles concept, along with recent surge in interest it is timely reflect on its current use for future. Based our bundle experience, expertise, analyses, we found critical elements advancing concept deepening impact In this paper 1) examine different conceptualizations concept; 2) show range benefits using a approach;...
Abstract Nature's contributions to people (NCP) rarely originate from nature alone. Often, only by joining natural capital with forms of anthropogenic capital, NCP emerge benefitting people. Understanding how are co‐produced and capitals is needed inform decision‐making on sustainable land‐use practices. Through a systematic review the literature, we compile existing empirical evidence co‐production this was arrived at. We identified 237 observations 25 publications indicators co‐producing...
Agricultural intensification contributes to global food security and well-being by supplying the demand of a growing human population. However, ongoing land-use change seriously affect abundance, diversity distribution species, besides many other impacts, thereby threatening functioning ecosystems worldwide. Despite accumulating evidence that current agricultural model is unsustainable, we are far from understanding consequences functional loss for ecosystem service supply potential...
Global agri-food systems couple sustainability challenges in producing countries to consumption behavior and regulations destination markets. We assume that trade relations can be prioritized according (1) the relevance (share of imports) (2) leverage domestic production for market). This study analyzes EU's crop imports monetary values, footprints, deforestation. Our results identify high values with specific partner countries, particularly palm oil rubber specialists East Asia...
Enduring sustainability challenges requires a new model of collective leadership that embraces critical reflection, inclusivity and care. Leadership collectives can support move in academia from metrics to merits, focus on career care, enact shift disciplinary inter- trans-disciplinary research. Academic organisations need reorient their training programs, work ethics reward systems encourage excellence allow space for future leaders develop radically re-imagined vision how lead as with care...
Abstract Background Forests perform various important ecosystem functions that contribute to services. In many parts of the world, forest management has shifted from a focus on timber production multi-purpose forestry, combining with supply other However, it is unclear which types provide services and what extent forests primarily managed for already multiple Based comprehensive dataset collected across 150 plots in three regions differing intensity species composition, we develop models...
Abstract Restoration ecology that maximizes ecosystem services ( ES ) requires planning at large spatial scales, which are often the most meaningful for functioning and supply. As economic resources to undertake ecological restoration scales scarce, prioritizing sites enhance multiple supply is critical. We present Relative Aggregated Value of Ecosystem Services RAVES index, prioritize based on assessment . tested heterogeneity identify relevant scale managing apply index using a local case...
