There is growing interest in the role that natural capital plays underpinning ecosystem services. Yet, there remain differences and inconsistencies conceptualisation of services humans play their delivery. Using worked examples a stocks flows systems approach, we show both (NC) human-derived (produced, human, social, cultural, financial) (HDC) are necessary to create at many levels. HDC three stages service Firstly, as essential elements combined social-ecological system potential service....
Abstract. England and Wales have 155 314 1 × km squares, of which 140049 more than 50% soil cover. The total organic carbon content, based on the dominant series land cover type, is estimated to be 2773 10 6 t C. Scotland has 84929 82 420 a nominated series. content 19011 C, 6.85 times Wales. Great Britain 21 784 87% in Scottish soils 75% peats. A map mean squares National Grid using classes equal range illustrates narrow contents dominance soils. same data, but with unequal ranges...
Abstract. The Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE) has classified the 1 km squares in Great Britain (GB) into thirty‐two environmental strata, termed land classes, as a basis for ecological survey. classes have been used biogeographical studies distribution individual species and assemblages. concept behind technique is that there an association between character parameters. initial classification was based on sample drawn from regular grid. data 12121 were published maps; number limited...
As nations develop policies for low-carbon transitions, conflicts with existing and planning tools are leading to competing demands land other resources. This raises fundamental questions over how multiple can best be managed. Taking the UK as an empirical example, this paper critiques current practices explore interdependencies at water-energy-food nexus. It considers uses related affect UK's resilience climate change, setting out agenda research practice relevant stakeholders in land-use...
Energy is one of the cornerstones essential for human life, along with other services such as water and food. Understanding how different in energy-water-food (EWF) nexus interact are perceived by actors key to achieving sustainability. In this paper, we derive a model EWF using fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM). Data were collected two-step approach from workshops researchers stakeholders involved three focal sectors. Four FCMs developed; each sectors, interactions that create between EWF. The...
Summary Accurate estimates for the size of terrestrial organic carbon (C) stores are needed to determine their importance in regulating atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. The C stored vegetation and soil components a British moorland was evaluated order to: (i) investigate these ecosystems storage (ii) test accuracy United Kingdom's inventory. area types determined using existing digitized maps Geographical Information System (GIS). evaluating 2D projections, as opposed true surface areas,...
Abstract. The Countryside Survey (CS) of Great Britain provides a globally unique series datasets, consisting an extensive set repeated ecological measurements at national scale, covering time span 29 years. CS was first undertaken in 1978 to monitor and land use change using standardised procedures for recording data from representative 1 km squares throughout the country. same sites, with some additional squares, were used subsequent surveys vegetation 1990, 1998 2007, intention future...
