Indicators for innovation ecosystem health: A Delphi study [PDF]
Despite initial explorations of potentially useful indicators, still little understanding exists of how to conceptualize and measure innovation ecosystem health and success, nor of what kind of structural and relational antecedents affect health. This paper conceptualizes innovation ecosystem health and success, and its antecedents, and presents the ...

Monitoring the dead as an ecosystem indicator
AbstractDead animal biomass (carrion) is present in all terrestrial ecosystems, and its consumption, decomposition, and dispersal can have measurable effects on vertebrates, invertebrates, microbes, parasites, plants, and soil. But despite the number of studies examining the influence of carrion on food webs, there has been no attempt to identify how ...

AN INDICATOR FOR ECOSYSTEM EXTERNALITIES IN FISHING [PDF]
AbstractEcosystem externalities arise when one use of an ecosystem affects its other uses through the production functions of the ecosystem. We use simulations with a size‐spectrum ecosystem model to investigate the ecosystem externality created by fishing of multiple species.

Towards an enhanced indication of provisioning ecosystem services in agro-ecosystems [PDF]
AbstractProvisioning ecosystem services play a vital role in sustaining human well-being. Agro-ecosystems contribute a significant share of these services, besides food and fodder and also fuel and fibre as well as regulating and cultural ecosystem services.
