The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework. This conceptual analytical tool, presented here in detail, will underpin all IPBES functions provide structure comparability to syntheses that produce at different spatial scales, themes, regions. Salient innovative aspects Framework are transparent participatory construction process explicit consideration diverse scientific disciplines, stakeholders,...
Ecosystem management is driven by explicit goals, executed policies, protocols, and practices, made adaptable monitoring research based on our best understanding of the ecological interactions processes necessary to sustain ecosystem composition, structure, function. In recent years, sustainability has become an explicitly stated, even legislatively mandated, goal natural resource agencies. practice, however, approaches have often focused maximizing short‐term yield economic gain rather than...
Abstract Viable nature-based climate solutions (NbCS) are needed to achieve goals expressed in international agreements like the Paris Accord. Many NbCS pathways have strong scientific foundations and can deliver meaningful benefits but effective mitigation is undermined by with less certainty. Here we couple an extensive literature review expert elicitation on 43 find that at present most used pathways, such as tropical forest conservation, a solid basis for mitigation. However, experts...
Human activities affect Earth's life support systems so profoundly as to threaten many of the ecological services that are essential society. To address this challenge, a new science agenda is needed integrates people with rest nature help chart more sustainable trajectory for relationship between society and biosphere. This paper describes Earth Stewardship, an initiative Ecological Society America provide scientific basis actively shaping trajectories social-ecological change enhance...
To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts. We present a list top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary questions directed toward informing some most important current and future decisions about management species, communities, ecological processes in United States. The were generated by an open, inclusive process that included personal interviews with decisionmakers, broad solicitation...
The concept of nature as capital is gaining visibility in policies and practices both the public private sectors. This change due to an improved ability assess value ecosystem services, well a growing recognition potential services approach make tradeoffs decision making more transparent, inform efficient use resources, enhance resilience sustainability, avoid unintended negative consequences policy actions. Globally, governments, financial institutions, corporations have begun incorporate...
Invasive species pose a major, yet poorly addressed, threat to sustainable forestry. Here we set forth an interdisciplinary science strategy of research, development, and applications reduce this threat. To spur action by public private entities that too often are slow, reluctant, or unable act, recommend (a) better integrating invasive into forestry frameworks such as the Montréal Process forest certification programs; (b) developing improved cost estimates inform choices about...
543 E cosystem management is a structured process for society to define what ecological condition desired at each part of region and develop implement policies designed achieve that mosaic sustainable conditions (US MAB 1994, IEMTF 1995a, 1995b, Christensen et al. 1996, Harwell 1998). Ideally, the establishment goals involves close linkage between scientists decision makers, in which science informs makers public by characterizing are achievable under particular regimes, make choices...
Whether in the coral reefs of South Pacific, native grasslands western U.S., Brazil's Pantanal wetlands, hardwood hammocks Florida Keys, coastal and tropical forests Caribbean, or across Mexican deserts, invasive species have been identified as one most serious pervasive threats all The Nature Conservancy's Conservation Areas, threatening our conservation accomplishments to date. Invasive top two global biodiversity, this threat has economic consequences -estimated at $137 billion annually...
Wetland and riparian systems play a major role in flood control, water quality, food chain support. Timber production, fisheries, recreation vie economically as primary uses of forested wetlands.

Future areas are discussed: ecosystem processes, restoration rehabilitation, management wetland resource, socioeconomic values, landscape-scale...
