Mapping Cumulative Impacts to Coastal Ecosystem Services in British Columbia

摘要: Ecosystem services are impacted through restricting service supply, limiting people from accessing services, and by affecting the quality of services. We map cumulative impacts to 8 different ecosystem in coastal British Columbia using InVEST models, spatial data, expert elicitation quantify risk each anthropogenic activities. find that impact access as well supply results greater severity a diversity causal processes than only considering supply. This suggests may be important understanding these kinds complement our knowledge biophysical systems produce Some at climate stressors while others face local Prominent pathways include quality. Mapping can yield rich insights, including highlighting areas high causes impact, should an essential management tool help maintain flow we benefit from.
