A key challenge of ecosystem management is determining how to manage multiple services across landscapes. Enhancing important provisioning services, such as food and timber, often leads tradeoffs between regulating cultural nutrient cycling, flood protection, tourism. We developed a framework for analyzing the provision landscapes present an empirical demonstration service bundles, sets that appear together repeatedly. Ecosystem bundles were identified by spatial patterns 12 in mixed-use...
Enhancing the resilience of ecosystem services (ES) that underpin human well-being is critical for meeting current and future societal needs, requires specific governance management policies. Using literature, we identify seven generic policy-relevant principles enhancing desired ES in face disturbance ongoing change social-ecological systems (SES). These are (P1) maintain diversity redundancy, (P2) manage connectivity, (P3) slow variables feedbacks, (P4) foster an understanding SES as...
Environmentalists have argued that ecological degradation will lead to declines in the well-being of people dependent on ecosystem services. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment paradoxically found human has increased despite large global most We assess four explanations these divergent trends: (1) measured incorrectly; (2) is food services, which are increasing, and not other services declining; (3) technology decoupled from nature; (4) time lags may future well-being. Our findings discount...

The three‐dimensional rarity typology proposed by Rabinowitz in 1981, based on geographic range, habitat specificity, and local abundance, is among the most widely used frameworks for describing ecological conservation research. While this framework descriptive not meant to explain causes of rarity, recent advances ecology may be leveraged add explanatory power. Here we present a macroecological exploration its underlying causes. We propose modification Rabinowitz's better distinguish...

Scenario development helps people think about a broad variety of possible futures; however, the global environmental change community has thus far developed few positive scenarios for future planet and humanity. Those that have been tend to focus on role common, large-scale external drivers, such as technology or policy, even though pathways are often driven by surprising bottom-up initiatives most assume unchanging. We describe an approach, pioneered in Southern Africa tested here new...
Abstract Effectively conserving ecosystem services in order to maintain human wellbeing is a global need that requires an understanding of where are produced by ecosystems and people benefit from these services. However, approaches effectively identify key locations have the capacity supply actually contribute meeting demand for those lacking at broad spatial scales. We developed new methods integrate measures provide with indicators ability access then identified important areas three...
To address the ongoing global biodiversity crisis, conservation approaches must be underpinned by robust information. Canada is uniquely positioned to contribute meeting targets, with some of world's largest remaining intact ecosystems, and a commitment co-application Indigenous ways knowing alongside scientific, socioeconomic, other approaches. We elicited input from experts across range disciplines identify key information needed advance policy management actions conserve in Canada....
Abstract Protected areas are an important part of broader landscapes that often used to preserve biodiversity or natural features. Some argue protected may also help ensure provision ecosystem services. However, the effect protection on services and whether affects is known only for a few in types landscapes. We sought fill this gap by investigating watershed status land use cover compared provided around streams 4 types: International Union Conservation Nature category II forests,...
