Urban green infrastructure – the network of greenspaces across cities provides ecosystem services that are important for urban sustainability. Because this, increasingly redeveloping underused alleys into to improve service capacity. But it remains unclear if these delivering on promise supplying particular services. The indicators usually used within measure may not be suitable because unique structure, vegetative features and level community engagement alleys. Here we developed tested a...
Panarchy illustrates the dynamic nature of social-ecological systems and their nestedness interconnectedness through time space. Although there have been great advances in ecosystem service (ES) research, it has only rarely integrated interaction components (SES). We explore how theory, especially its detailed reflections on change system dynamics, could help ES research to better capture dynamics into fundamental assumptions. do this by outlining four main conclusions theory: multiple...
In 2006, Walker et al. published an article titled, “A Handful of Heuristics and Some Propositions for Understanding Resilience in Social-ecological Systems.” The was incorporated into the <em>Ecology Society</em> special feature, Exploring Social-Ecological Systems. identified five heuristics posed 14 propositions understanding resilience social-ecological systems. At time, authors hoped paper would promote experimentation, critique, application these ideas systems research. To determine...
Abstract Mitigating climate change is an urgent challenge for society. Increasing carbon storage in forests, which cover more than 30% of the global land surface, presents a key opportunity to meet this challenge. Although biophysical and ecological factors that affect have been well studied, relative importance social privately owned such as people's goals management actions, less understood. We examine how typical variables can explain differences above‐ground across 1,561 plots temperate...
Abstract At global scales, species richness is declining. However, at local understanding exactly how, where and why biodiversity changing becomes challenging since researchers have assessed trends using different indicators, data sources methods (e.g. repeated measurements the same site over time vs. space‐for‐time substitutions). In this study, we present a multifaceted analysis of change by assessing how tree diversity in Québec, Canada changed between two sampling periods (1970–1977...
How do social-ecological systems change over time? In 2002 C. S. Holling and colleagues proposed the concept of panarchy, which presented as an interacting set adaptive cycles, each produced by dynamic tensions between novelty efficiency at multiple scales. Initially introduced a conceptual framework metaphors, panarchy has gained attention scholars across many disciplines, its ideas continue to inspire further developments. Almost 20 years after this was introduced, we reviewed how it been...
