摘要: Abstract Our focus here is on how vegetation management can be used to manipulate the balance of ecosystem services at a landscape scale. Across landscape, maintained or restored modified removed and replaced meet changing needs society, giving mosaics types ‘condition classes’ that range from intact native ecosystems highly systems. These various classes will produce different levels challenge for natural resource programs land decisions able consider complex nature trade-offs between wide services. We use their condition as first approximation surrogate define map underlying in terms regulating, supporting, provisioning cultural In using surrogate, we believe it important describe (e.g. agronomic) structure – which turn related function (rooting depth, nutrient recycling, carbon capture, water use, etc.). This approach enables changes result coupled with surface groundwater resources other physical chemical properties soils. For Australian an existing structural classification based height cover all layers suggested appropriate functional classification. framework mapping manipulating classes. are degree modification pre-existing and, case biodiversity, this original vegetation.
