Assessing interactions of multiple ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes

Geology & Geophysics is pleased to welcome as a speaker for its free TGIF seminar:

Elena Bennett of McGill University (Montreal, Quebec)

"Assessing interactions of multiple ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes"

A key challenge of ecosystem management is determining how to manage multiple ecosystem services across landscapes. Enhancing important provisioning ecosystem services, such as food and timber, often leads to tradeoffs between regulating and cultural ecosystem services, such as nutrient cycling, food protection, and tourism. We developed a framework for analyzing the provision of multiple ecosystem services across landscapes and present an empirical demonstration of ecosystem service bundles, sets of services that appear together repeatedly.
