The Risk to Ecosystems and Ecosystem Services: A Framework for the Atlas of Ecosystem Services
2019Our framework (Fig. 1.1) depicts different components of a dynamic in which ecosystem services are provided and managed [1]. The impact of on ecosystems can lead to a loss of ecological processes and properties, which are the basis for the provision of ecosystem services to society.

This follows an orthodox economic approach to environmental values, but is also being undertaken by ecologists and conservation biologist. There appears a lack of clarity and debate as to the model of human behaviour, specific values and decision ...

Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
2013Abstract: The link between biodiversity and ecosystem services is obvious. However, due to the complexity of both terms, discussions are often narrowed to specific components, provoking many useless debates. Because ecosystem service assessments are intended to provide guidance for ecosystem management, the confusion over how to treat biodiversity is ...

Consumerization in the IT Service Ecosystem
IT Professional, 2014Most of the available literature on IT consumerization focuses on current practices--from operational aspects of BYOD to its disruptive effects--but does little to illuminate the dynamics behind the trend's emergence. Exploring the driving forces behind consumerization is essential if IT organizations are to both make sense of the current dynamics of ...

The relation between the concept of ecosystem services and practice is a moving target: a dynamic field of operation, experimentation, discourse and concern, and many challenges and ambitions. We have asked a diversity of 'real world' actors for their reflections on the usefulness of the concept of ecosystem services for their practice.

Conserving Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
Science, 2001H uman impacts on the environment are intensifying, raising vexing questions of how best to allocate the limited resources available for biodiversity conservation. Which creatures and places most deserve attention? Which should we ignore, potentially accepting their extinction? The answer to this dilemma depends on one's objectives. To motivate action,

Environmental Values, 2014
Ecosystem services are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems. Many of these services are provided outside the borders of the land where they are produced; this article investigates who is entitled to these non-excludable ecosystem services from two libertarian perspectives.

Geosystem services (GSs) and ecosystem services (ESs) are interconnected, both representing nature's contributions to people. Whether GSs are a subset of ESs depends on the definition of ESs. The answer would be "not necessarily" (i.e., some GSs are, while other GSs are not), if ESs are the benefits humans derive from ecological functions, processes ...
