Four challenges to an effective national nature assessment
Abstract Comprehensive biodiversity assessments play an essential role in strengthening global and national conservation strategies. The recently announced first U.S. National Nature Assessment (NNA) provides an unparalleled opportunity to comprehensively review status and trends of biodiversity at all levels.

Benefits derived from leisure and recreational, and wildlife cultural ecosystem services (CES) were predominantly safeguarded by nature reserves. In contrast, folk and custom CES and spiritual and religious CES were less reliant on these reserves due to intrinsic community‐based protection. Abstract Cultural ecosystem services (CES) play a pivotal role

Rapid assessment of insect pollination services to inform decision‐making
Abstract Pollinator declines have prompted efforts to assess how land‐use change affects insect pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Yet many tools to measure insect pollination services require substantial landscape‐scale data and technical expertise.

Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree species to ...

Pollinator monitoring more than pays for itself
We evaluated the full costs of running pollinator monitoring schemes against the economic benefits to research and society they provide. The annual costs of monitoring are <0.02% of the economic value of pollination services that would be lost after a 30% decline in pollination services.

为深入探究城镇化对生态系统服务价值的驱动因素以及生态系统服务空间溢出效应, 以山西省县域为研究单元, 基于2000—2018年土地利用数据、社会经济数据构建生态系统服务价值和城镇化水平综合评价体系, 通过双变量空间自相关分析县域城镇化与生态系统服务价值相关性的空间特征。结果表明: 研究期间山西省生态系统服务价值整体呈下降趋势, 城镇化综合水平虽有显著提高, 但整体偏低。研究区城镇化和生态系统服务价值之间存在显著的负相关关系, 呈"U"形发展趋势。空间计量模型结果表明, 城镇化率 ...

退耕还林还草工程显著改变了延安市土地利用情况,进而改善了延安市的生态环境,评估这一过程的生态环境变化情况有利于后续生态保护与规划决策。基于1990—2020年土地利用、自然和社会统计数据,利用时间信息熵模型和地理探测器探究退耕还林还草工程实施前后延安市生态系统服务价值(ESV)时空递变规律及影响因子。结果表明:(1)1990—2020年延安市生态系统服务价值总体增加7.7亿元,增幅约32.42%。林地生态系统服务价值增加了11.25亿元,增幅为80.54%,是增长的主要贡献者,调节服务价值占比50 ...

生态系统服务价值的研究是目前生态学研究的热点之一。本文应用Costanza生态系统服务价值计算公式,采用谢高地等人的中国陆地生态系统单位面积生态服务价值表,分析了1988-2004年武汉市土地利用的时空变化,并计算由此导致的生态系统服务价值及其结构的时空变化,结果发现:①1988~2004年,武汉市土地利用变化的热点地区和总ESV变化的热点地区都主要集中在城郊区。②1988-2004年,武汉市总ESV增加了,但生态系统服务价值结构变化较大,生态系统提供某些单项服务的功能相对减弱。③1988-2004年 ...
