Identifying ecosystem states with patterns of ecosystem service bundles

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Identifying the state of an ecosystem and any changes in its state can help in detecting critical ecosystem transitions and formulating adaptive measures to reduce losses of ecosystem services. Such efforts are important for regional sustainability.

Implications of mechanistic modeling of drought effects on growth and competition in forest landscape models

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
The incidence of drought is expected to increase worldwide as a factor structuring forested landscapes. Ecophysiological mechanisms are being added to Forest Landscape Models (FLMs) to increase their robustness to the novel environmental conditions of ...

Measuring and modeling waterlogging tolerance to predict the future for threatened lowland ash forests [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
The emerald ash borer is an invasive pest causing widespread mortality of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) across the USA. Broad-scale models can help identify management strategies to maintain lowland ash ecosystems.

Describing Services for Service Ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Service ecosystems are electronic market places and emerge as a result of the shift toward service economies. The aim of service ecosystems is to trade services over the internet. There are still obstacles that impede this new form of market places.

Scenario analysis of the relationship among ecosystem service values—A case study of Yinchuan Plain in northwestern China

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
Clarifying the relationships among regional ecosystem service values is important for ecosystem service management. However, most current studies are based on historical periods or individual time points, and there is still a lack of research on the ...

Scale and ecosystem services: how do observation, management, and analysis shift with scale - lessons from Québec

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2016
Ecosystem service assessment and management are shaped by the scale at which they are conducted; however, there has been little systematic investigation of the scales associated with ecosystem service processes, such as production, benefit distribution ...

The Service-Dominant Ecosystem: Mapping a Service Dominant Strategy to a Product-Service Ecosystem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Nowadays product-oriented companies are facing the need to focus on the service rather than the product alone. By following a Service-Dominant Strategy, we need to focus on the ecosystem embodying the collaboration to provide such a service. This collaborative perspective on value creation and value sharing is the foundation for designing new business ...

Marine ecosystem services [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
Coastal and marine environments can begin up to 100 kilometers inland, extend to the continental shelf, and include ocean systems with waters up to 50 meters in depth. The distinct marine ecosystems found in these environments include estuarine and coastal wetlands, such as marshes and mangroves, sand beaches and dunes, seagrass beds, and coral and ...
