Cultural ecosystem services in an urban park: understanding bundles, trade-offs, and synergies
ContextSets of ecosystem services that occur together across space or time are called ‘bundles’, and the interactions among them can result in...

Assessing levels, trade-offs and synergies of landscape services in the Iranian province of Qazvin: towards sustainable landscapes
ContextEvidence-based knowledge is crucial for place-based knowledge production and learning towards sustainable landscapes through stewardship and...

Using Bayesian Belief Networks to assess the influence of landscape connectivity on ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies in urban landscapes in the UK
ContextLandscape connectivity is assumed to influence ecosystem service (ES) trade-offs and synergies. However, empirical studies of the effect of...

Trade-offs and synergies of ecosystem services in the Yangtze River Delta, China: response to urbanizing variation
Since entering the ‘Millennium of the cities’ omnipresent rapid urbanization has caused dramatic changes to ecosystem functions and generated huge...

Bundling ecosystem services at a high resolution in the UK: trade-offs and synergies in urban landscapes
ContextEcosystem service bundles can be defined as the spatial co-occurrence of ecosystem services in a landscape. The understanding of the delivery...

Synergies and Trade-Offs Among Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity in Different Forest Types Inside and Off-Reserve in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Land use planning is mainly based on monetary values of provisioning ecosystem services (ES). However, many other non-monetary ES and biodiversity...

Handling ecosystem service trade-offs: the importance of the spatial scale at which no-loss constraints are posed
ContextManaging land use to promote an ecosystem service (ES) without reducing others is challenging. The spatial scale at which no-loss constraints...

Modelling the influence of thinning intensity and frequency on the future provision of ecosystem services in Mediterranean mountain pine forests
Thinnings are silvicultural operations that repetitively reduce tree density to improve the vigour of the remaining trees and the economic benefits...

Resolving the trade-off between production and biodiversity conservation in integrated forest management: comparing tree selection practices of foresters and conservationists
Integrating nature conservation effectively in forests managed for timber production implies reconciling a trade-off between ecological and economic...

Stand density, climate and biodiversity jointly regulate the multifunctionality of natural forest ecosystems in northeast China
Forests simultaneously provide multiple ecosystem services (ESs), but the trade-off and synergy among them were uncertain. Biotic and abiotic...

Do provisioning ecosystem services change along gradients of increasing agricultural production?
ContextIncreasing agricultural production shapes the flow of ecosystem services (ES), including provisioning services that support the livelihoods...
-
Advancing the optimization of urban–rural ecosystem service supply-demand mismatches and trade-offs
ContextIntensified human activities have disrupted landscape patterns, causing a reduction in the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) and an increase...

Trade-Offs Around Production and Livelihood Decisions
Trade-offs are inherent to decision-making about resource allocation to different activities in agroecosystems, particularly when resources are...

Tree species admixture increases ecosystem service provision in simulated spruce- and beech-dominated stands
Climate-adaptive forest management aims to sustain the provision of multiple forest ecosystem services and biodiversity (ESB). However, it remains...

Ecosystem services trade-offs in landscapes: trends, areas of greatest impact, and temporal evolution of the scientific field
ContextTrade-offs between ecosystem services (ES) occur by premeditated decision or as an involuntary consequence of landscape change. This has been...
