Quantification of the potential impact of nature conservation on ecosystem services supply in the Flemish Region: A cascade modelling approach

摘要: Abstract Ecological networks of protected areas are critical elements to protect biodiversity. To achieve a minimal performance such networks, measures and investments necessary for nature restoration management. The concept ecosystem service (ES) can provide additional arguments in ecological networks. However, ES delivery processes embedded complex array there is need cope with this complexity pragmatic manner. As many assessment studies have already been criticized using oversimplified indicators, too much pragmatism may foreclose credibility acceptance assessments. Therefore, cascade modelling approach was developed that incorporated processes, multiple off-site effects, feedbacks trade-off mechanisms through shared variables. focused on which services the existing network delivers how these influenced after realization site specific conservation objectives.
