Interacting effects of change in climate, human population, land use, and water use on biodiversity and ecosystem services

摘要: Human population growth and resource use, mediated by changes in climate, land water increasingly impact biodiversity ecosystem services provision. However, impacts of these drivers on are rarely analyzed simultaneously remain largely unknown. An emerging question is how science can improve the understanding change service delivery potential feedback mechanisms adaptive governance. We past future south-central Sweden. used analysis to identify main research challenges outline important tasks. Since 19th century, our study area has experienced substantial interlinked changes; a 1.6°C temperature increase, rapid growth, urbanization, massive use use. Considerable also projected until mid-21st century. little known about so far, this turn hampers projections such effects. Therefore, we urge scientists explore interdisciplinary approaches designed investigate multiple drivers, underlying mechanisms, interactions over time, including assessment matching-scale data from several disciplines. Such perspective needed for contribute governance constantly improving linked complexities their impacts.
