Pasture ecosystem services indicators: an expert based set of indicators of ecosystem services

open access: yes, 2020
Many recent studies show that grassland biodiversity is linked to ecosystem functioning (BEF Theory) and to its capacity to deliver a large diversity of ecosystem services (ES). However, till now no methods allow an easy diagnosis of the level of ES produced, neither a concomitant evaluation of these services (i.e.

Ecosystem and disaster risk: A review of ecological indicators in the context of disaster risk assessments and discussion of their usefulness to inform ecosystem health

open access: yesNature-Based Solutions
Ecosystems play a critical role in reducing disaster risk by providing ecosystem services (ESS) that influence all components of risk. The capacity to deliver ESS depends on the health of the ecosystem itself. Thus, it is key to consider ecosystem health
