Increasing the understanding and use of natural archives of ecosystem services, resilience and thresholds to improve policy, science and practice:

摘要: Despite the great potential of palaeo-environmental information to strengthen natural resource policy, science and practical outcomes naturally occurring archives ecosystem service have not been fully recognised or utilised inform development environmental policy. In this paper, we describe how Australian is improving understanding through local studies regional syntheses that us about past conditions, extreme conditions altered states. innovations in services research contribute five important contexts: discussions management objectives, access information, improved knowledge dynamics services, increasing processes availability, engaging interdisciplinary approaches manage services. Knowledge an starting point for setting present future anticipating consequences trade-offs, sharing risk evaluating monitoring ongoing availability Palaeo-environmental helps reframe desirable futures collaborative efforts between scientists, planners, managers communities. However, further steps are needed translate concept into policy tangible objectives actions useful, feasible encompass range benefits people from ecosystems. We argue increased incorporation decision-making evidence-based adaptive enhance sustainability functions reduce long-term risks.
