Thus, in contrast to the public perception of groundwater overextraction and resource depletion, there appears to be no economic rationale for groundwater management. In this paper, we...
متن کاملScience for managing ecosystem services: Beyond the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) introduced a new framework for analyzing social-ecological systems that has had wide influence in the policy and scientific communities. Studies after the MA are taking up new challenges in the basic science needed to assess, project, and manage flows of ecosystem services and effects on human well-being. Yet, our ability to draw general conclusions rema...
متن کاملDevelopment of State-and-Transition Models (STM): Integrating Ecosystem Function, Structure and Energy to STM
The main objective of an ecosystem sustainable management is to preserve itscapacity to respond and adapt to current disturbances and/or future changes, and maintain theprovision of environmental goods and services. Two very important properties linked to thisobjective are the ecosystem resilience and resistance to disturbance factors. The objective ofthis paper is to recommend conceptual modif...
