Rapid Assessment of Ecosystem Services Provided by Two Mineral Extraction Sites Restored for Nature Conservation in an Agricultural Landscape in Eastern England
Despite growing recognition that mineral sites restored for nature conservation can enhance local biodiversity, the wider societal benefits provided by this type of restoration relative to alternative options are not well understood. This study addresses this research gap by quantifying differences in ecosystem services provision under two common mineral site after-uses: nature conservation and...

متن کاملDynamic Conservation Management of Nontillable East Mediterranean Upland Ecosystems1
Associate Professor of Ecology, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel 32 000. Abstract: East Mediterranean upland ecosystems are severely threatened by exponential landscape degradation and by the loss of biological diversity through monospecies afforestation and brush encroachment. Integrated landscape ecological research, planning, management and education are therefore urgen...
