Ecosystem services or services to ecosystems? Valuing cultivation and reciprocal relationships between humans and ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Environmental Change, 2015
AbstractThe concept of Ecosystem Services (ES), widely understood as the “benefits that humans receive from the natural functioning of healthy ecosystems” (Jeffers et al., 2015), depicts a one-way flow of services from ecosystems to people. We argue that this conceptualisation is overly simplistic and largely inaccurate, neglecting the reality that ...

Solar‐Powered Hierarchical Microenvironments with Authigenic Multi‐Field Synergies for Simultaneous Extraction of Freshwater and Cesium

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomass‐based solar‐powered hierarchical self‐extraction micro‐network (BSSM) is first proposed to achieve freshwater production and Cs+ extraction. This study establishes a transformative paradigm for resource recovery, providing a scalable and eco‐friendly panacea to address pressing global issues, including water scarcity, nuclear pollution, and ...

Digital Ecosystems: Evolving Service-Oriented Architectures [PDF]

open access: yesIn IEEE First International Conference on Bio Inspired mOdels of NETwork, Information and Computing Systems (BIONETICS) (2006), 2007
We view Digital Ecosystems to be the digital counterparts of biological ecosystems, exploiting the self-organising properties of biological ecosystems, which are considered to be robust, self-organising and scalable architectures that can automatically solve complex, dynamic problems.

Land‐sharing/‐sparing connectivity landscapes for ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2019
1. The land-sharing versus land-sparing debate recently stagnated, lacking an integrating perspective in agricultural landscapes as well as consideration of ecosystem services. Here, we argue that land-sharing (i.e. wildlife-friendly farming systems) and

Ecosystem services provided by waterbirds

open access: yesBiological Reviews, 2013
ABSTRACTEcosystem services are ecosystem processes that directly or indirectly benefit human well‐being. There has been much recent literature identifying different services and the communities and species that provide them. This is a vital first step towards management and maintenance of these services.
