Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield-related services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on high richness remains unclear. Using database from 89 studies (with 1475 locations), we partition the relative importance of richness, abundance, dominance for pollination; biological pest control; final yields in context ongoing land-use change. Pollinator enemy directly supported...
Significance Decades of research have fostered the now-prevalent assumption that noncrop habitat facilitates better pest suppression by providing shelter and food resources to predators parasitoids crop pests. Based on our analysis largest pest-control database its kind, surrounding farm fields does affect multiple dimensions control, but actual responses pests enemies are highly variable across geographies cropping systems. Because often not enhance biological more information about local...
Biodiversity-mediated ecosystem services (ES) support human well-being, but their values are typically estimated individually. Although ES part of complex socioecological systems, we know surprisingly little about how multiple interact ecologically and economically. Interactions could be positive (synergy), negative (trade-offs), or absent (additive effects), with strong implications for management valuation. Here, evaluate the interactions two ES, pollination pest control, via a factorial...
Ecosystem-service production is strongly influenced by the landscape configuration of natural and human systems. Ecosystem services are not only produced consumed locally but can be transferred within among ecosystems. The time distance between producer consumer ecosystem considered lags in ecosystem-service provisioning. Incorporation heterogeneity lag effects into conservation incentives helps identify appropriate governance systems incentive mechanisms for effective management. These...
ABSTRACT Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield-related services can be maintained by few abundant species or rely on high richness remains unclear. Using a database from 89 systems, we partition the relative importance of abundance for pollination, biological pest control final yields in context on-going land-use change. Pollinator enemy directly supported independent abundance. Up 50%...
A large area of the terrestrial land surface is used for livestock grazing. Trees on grazing lands provide and can enhance multiple ecosystem services such as provisioning, cultural regulating, that include carbon sequestration. In this study, we assessed above- belowground stocks across six different land-uses in livestock-dominated landscapes Mexico. We measured tree biomass soil organic (SOC) fodder banks, live fences, pasturelands with dispersed trees, secondary forests, primary forests...
The expansion of anthropogenic activities drives changes in the composition, structure, and spatial configuration natural landscapes, influencing both taxonomic functional diversity bird communities. This pattern is evident Colombian Amazon, where agricultural livestock has altered ecological dynamics, avifaunal assemblages, provision regulating ecosystem services. study analyzed influence agroforestry (cocoa-based systems – SAFc) silvopastoral (SSP) on birds their potential impact services...
Abstract As the global human population increases, and many bird populations in Neotropics rest of world continue to decline, study intersection humans, birds, conservation has become more relevant than ever. The field social science is an interdisciplinary that applies sciences humanities examine research questions have implications for biodiversity conservation, encompasses disciplines as diverse psychology, economics, political ecology. An understanding dimensions issues can be essential...
Compared to nonmigratory species, seasonal migratory species face different anthropogenic threats and respond differently such threats. Protecting poses unique policy challenges because the integrity of process through space time is critical for their survival. Considering ecological, economic, institutional characteristics throughout annual or life cycle habitat essential effective conservation development. This article identifies describes key ecological needs species. We then discuss...
Livestock production is one of the most important agricultural sources greenhouses gasses (GHG). Transforming livestock sector a critical task to mitigate effects climate change, and implementation silvopastoral systems (SPS) may be way do so. Carbon footprint (CF) estimation was carried out for 131 conventional farms (CONF) SPS (SPSF) selected in states Jalisco, Chiapas Campeche (Mexico). GHG emissions were estimated based on interviews with farmers farm monitoring collect information about...

Por ejemplo, tener aprobración del sector político, administrativo comunidades locales, general estrategia necesaria para implementar políticas públicas...
