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...
Introduction The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. (Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, 1929) We live in challenging times with a heightened sense of uncer...

Abstract: Conservation decisions about how, when, and where to act are typically based on our expectations for the future. When world is highly unpredictable we working from a limited range of expectations, however, will frequently be proved wrong. Scenario planning offers framework developing more resilient conservation policies when faced with uncontrollable, irreducible uncertainty. A scenario in this context an account plausible consists using few contrasting scenarios explore...

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...
Summary Increased interest in managing resilience has led to efforts develop standardized tools for assessments and quantitative measures. Resilience, however, as a property of complex adaptive systems, does not lend itself easily measurement. Whereas assessment approaches tend focus on deepening understanding system dynamics, measurement aims capture quantify rigorous repeatable way. We discuss the strengths, limitations trade‐offs involved both assessing measuring resilience, well...
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) scenarios address changes in ecosystem services and their implications for human well-being.Ecological pose special challenges longterm thinking, because of the possibility regime shifts that occur rapidly yet alter availability generations.Moreover, ecological feedbacks can intensify modification ecosystems, creating a spiral poverty degradation.Such complex dynamics were evaluated by mixture qualitative quantitative analyses MA...
Given the increasingly global stresses on forests, many ecologists argue that managers must maintain ecological resilience: capacity of ecosystems to absorb disturbances without undergoing fundamental change. In this review we ask: Can emerging paradigm natural-disturbance-based management (NDBM) resilience in managed forests? Applying theory requires careful articulation ecosystem state under consideration, and affect persistence possible alternative states, spatial temporal scales...

Regime shifts are large, abrupt, and persistent critical transitions in the function structure of ecosystems. Yet, it is unknown how these will interact, whether occurrence one increase likelihood another or simply correlate at distant places. We explored two types cascading effects: Domino effects create one-way dependencies, whereas hidden feedbacks produce two-way interactions. compare them with control case driver sharing, which can induce correlations. Using 30 regime described as...
Managing ecosystems for multiple ecosystem services and balancing the well-being of diverse stakeholders involves different kinds trade-offs. Often trade-offs involve noneconomic difficult-to-evaluate values, such as cultural identity, employment, poor people, or particular species structures. Although need to be considered successful environmental management, they are often overlooked in favor win-wins. Management policy decisions demand approaches that can explicitly acknowledge evaluate...
