An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon [PDF]

Ecosystems and People, 2023
Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services they generate based on an ...

Neutral processes related to regional bee commonness and dispersal distances are important predictors of plant–pollinator networks along gradients of climate and landscape conditions [PDF]

Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Understanding how niche‐based and neutral processes contribute to the spatial variation in plant–pollinator interactions is central to designing effective pollination conservation schemes. Such schemes are needed to reverse declines of wild bees and other pollinating insects, and to promote pollination services to wild and cultivated plants.

Climatic conditions and landscape diversity predict plant–bee interactions and pollen deposition in bee‐pollinated plants [PDF]

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 9, September 2024.
Climate change, landscape homogenization, and the decline of beneficial insects threaten pollination services to wild plants and crops. Understanding how pollination potential (i.e. the capacity of ecosystems to support pollination of plants) is affected by climate change and landscape homogenization is fundamental for our ability to predict how such ...

Ecosystem services mapping for municipal policy: ESTIMAP and zoning for urban beekeeping [PDF]

One Ecosystem, 2017
Pollinating insects are an integral part of cities’ natural capital and perform an important ecosystem function with a high degree of relevance to many cultural ecosystem services.

Modelo de estados y transiciones de los ñirantales del NO de la Patagonia como herramienta para el uso silvopastoril sustentable [PDF]

Ecología Austral, 2017
Desarrollamos un modelo de estados y transiciones (MEyT) para el bosque de ñire (Nothofagus antarctica) en el norte de la Patagonia, con el fin de sintetizar el conocimiento disperso sobre las repuestas de este sistema al manejo silvopastoril. En base a

Sustainable Development Goals and risks: The Yin and the Yang of the paths towards sustainability. [PDF]

Ambio, 2023
The United Nations 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define a path towards a sustainable future, but given that uncertainty characterises the outcomes of any SDG-related actions, risks in the implementation of the Agenda need to be ...

Large-scale agricultural investments in Eastern Africa: consequences for small-scale farmers and the environment

Ecosystems and People, 2021
Available empirical evidence about the impacts of large-scale agricultural investments (LAIs) in low-income countries is skewed towards the assessment of economic benefits. How LAIs affect land use and the environment is less understood.

Facilitation among plants in alpine environments in the face of climate change. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2014
While there is a large consensus that plant–plant interactions are a crucial component of the response of plant communities to the effects of climate change, available data remain scarce, particularly in alpine systems. This represents an important

MetaComNet: A random forest‐based framework for making spatial predictions of plant–pollinator interactions

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 500-513, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Predicting plant–pollinator interaction networks over space and time will improve our understanding of how environmental change is likely to impact the functioning of ecosystems. Here we propose a framework for producing spatially explicit predictions of the occurrence and number of pairwise plant–pollinator interactions and of the species ...
