Assessing ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies: The need for a more mechanistic approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ambio"
DOI: 10.1007/s13280-018-1127-7
Abstract: Positive (synergistic) and negative (trade-off) relationships among ecosystem services are influenced by drivers of change, such as policy interventions and environmental variability, and the mechanisms that link these drivers to ecosystem service outcomes. Failure to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2018.06.021
Abstract: Tropical rainforests provide an array of increasingly threatened ecosystem services. Appropriation of these services can drive trade-offs, where the provision of one service may result in the diminution of another. Trade-offs are evident in regions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.08.032
Abstract: Abstract Agroforestry has been proposed as an alternative to slash-and-burn agriculture for smallholder farmers throughout the tropics in order to enhance ecosystem service (ES) supply and conserve biodiversity. Payments for ecosystem services (PES) have emerged… read more here.
