Servicesheds connect people to the landscapes upon which they depend

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 112-126, January 2025.
Abstract Ecosystem services (ES) are benefits people receive from nature. To sustain these benefits, we need to spatially connect communities benefitting from specific ES with landscape features that generate the ES. A variety of process‐based models support ES assessments by estimating the biophysical supply of ES that comes from landscapes.

Ecosystem services of irrigated and controlled drainage agricultural systems: A contemporary global perspective

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1823-1837, November 2024.
Abstract Irrigated agriculture provides 40% of the world's crop‐based foods but often with a negative impact on the environment. It is important to recognize that in addition to providing food and fibre, irrigation and controlled drainage systems can be optimized to provide additional ecosystem services and mitigate climate change by using resources in
