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...
A central focus in applied entomology is the role that habitat diversity plays creation and maintenance of arthropod diversity. Researchers are increasingly exploring possibility degraded landscapes such as mixed-used agricultural areas rainforest fragments might be used to supplement conservation strategies aimed at increasing biodiversity. Here we present results a comparative biodiversity field study Puriscal region on Pacific slope Costa Rica rural community characterized by mixture...
