摘要: We examine the advantages and disadvantages of a methodological framework designed to analyze the poorly understood relationships between the ecosystem properties of large portions of land, and their capacities (stocks) to provide goods and services (flows). These capacities (stocks) are referred to as landscape functions. The core of our assessment is a set of expert-and literature-driven binary links, expressing whether specific land uses or other environmental properties have a supportive or neutral role for given landscape …
