Ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies misunderstood without landscape history

Ecology and Society, 2016
Dramatic changes in ecosystem services have motivated recent work characterizing their interactions, including identifying trade-offs and synergies. Although time is arguably implicit in these ideas of trade-offs and synergies (e.g., temporal dynamics or

Spatial–Temporal Differentiation of Ecosystem Service Trade-Offs and Synergies in the Taihang Mountains, China

Land
Mountains are crucial for essential ecosystem services that are foundational to ecological restoration and conservation. The Taihang Mountains are a key water recharge zone and ecological barrier in northern China.

Shifting from Trade-Offs to Synergies in Ecosystem Services Through Effective Ecosystem Management in Arid Areas

Remote Sensing
Human activities continuously alter the delivery of ecosystem services (ESs), which play a crucial role in human well-being. There is a pressing need for effective ecological management strategies that consider the spatial heterogeneity of ESs to support

The influence of landscape structure and connectivity on ecosystem services: trade-offs and synergies in urban areas. [PDF]

, 2021
Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans derive their well-being. Globally, 60 per cent of ecosystem services assessed are either being degraded or being used unsustainably.

Spatial dynamics of biophysical trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services in the Himalayas

, 2023
The production of ecosystem services (ES) is highly dependent on the current state of spatial distribution, pattern of occurrence, and interaction among them, which is barely studied in the Hindu-Kush Himalayas (HKH).

Multi-criteria framework for identifying the trade-offs and synergies relationship of ecosystem services based on ecosystem services bundles

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The interaction relationship of ecosystem services (ESs) is among the most critical objective in natural resource management. However, a complexity of the spatial heterogeneity of delivering multiple ESs from social-ecological system was seldomly ...
