The effects of landscape patterns on ecosystem services: meta-analyses of landscape services
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Landscape Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10980-018-0673-5
Abstract: PurposeThe recently introduced concept of ‘landscape services’—ecosystem services influenced by landscape patterns—may be particularly useful in landscape planning by potentially increasing stakeholder participation and financial funding. However, integrating this concept remains challenging. In order to… read more here.
