Using land use/land cover trajectories to uncover ecosystem service patterns across the Alps.

摘要: Managing multiple ecosystem services (ES) in agricultural landscapes is a challenging task, especially regions with complex topographical and agro-ecological conditions. These challenges require ES assessment approaches that go beyond the case study level provide multi-temporal information at transnational level. We used spatiotemporal approach to examine impact of specific land use/land cover (LULC) trajectories on eight for past 150 years. show how spatially explicit upscaling procedure, from an Alpine-wide level, based topographical, socioeconomic parameters, can improve our understanding dynamics bundles. Our results indicated provision was not stable during 150 years surveyed, mainly depending prevailing management type biophysical bundle mapping enabled us identify consistent socioecological characteristics are most likely either enhance or diminish types services. By introducing perspective into assessment, we clear evidence dynamic nature contribute identifying processes drivers behind these interactions. emphasize mountain supply particularly sensitive long-term LULC change, regional They indicate benefit integrating bundles environmental policies national
