A blueprint for blue carbon: toward an improved understanding of the role of vegetated coastal habitats in sequestering CO2Recent research has highlighted the valuable role that coastal and marine ecosystems play in sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2 ). The carbon (C) sequestered in vegetated coastal ecosystems, specifically mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and salt marshes, has been termed “blue carbon”. Although their global area is one to two orders of magnitude smaller than that of terres... ... hiện toàn bộ

Modeling multiple ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, commodity production, and tradeoffs at landscape scalesNature provides a wide range of benefits to people. There is increasing consensus about the importance of incorporating these “ecosystem services” into resource management decisions, but quantifying the levels and values of these services has proven difficult. We use a spatially explicit modeling tool, Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST), to predict changes in... ... hiện toàn bộ

High‐resolution mapping of the world's reservoirs and dams for sustainable river‐flow managementDespite the recognized importance of reservoirs and dams, global datasets describing their characteristics and geographical distribution are largely incomplete. To enable advanced assessments of the role and effects of dams within the global river network and to support strategies for mitigating ecohydrological and socioeconomic costs, we introduce here the spatially explicit and hydrologi... ... hiện toàn bộ

Ecosystem services in decision making: time to deliverOver the past decade, efforts to value and protect ecosystem services have been promoted by many as the last, best hope for making conservation mainstream – attractive and commonplace worldwide. In theory, if we can help individuals and institutions to recognize the value of nature, then this should greatly increase investments in conservation, while at the same time fostering human well‐b... ... hiện toàn bộ

Assessing the global threat of invasive species to marine biodiversityAlthough invasive species are widely recognized as a major threat to marine biodiversity, there has been no quantitative global assessment of their impacts and routes of introduction. Here, we report initial results from the first such global assessment. Drawing from over 350 databases and other sources, we synthesized information on 329 marine invasive species, including their distributio... ... hiện toàn bộ

Adaptive co‐management for social–ecological complexityBuilding trust through collaboration, institutional development, and social learning enhances efforts to foster ecosystem management and resolve multi‐scale society–environment dilemmas. One emerging approach aimed at addressing these dilemmas is adaptive co‐management. This method draws explicit attention to the learning (experiential and experimental) and collaboration (vertical and hori... ... hiện toàn bộ

The current state of citizen science as a tool for ecological research and public engagementApproaches to citizen science – an indispensable means of combining ecological research with environmental education and natural history observation – range from community‐based monitoring to the use of the internet to “crowd‐source” various scientific tasks, from data collection to discovery. With new tools and mechanisms for engaging learners, citizen science pushes the envelope of what ... ... hiện toàn bộ
