“…Many of these ecosystem services are familiar in the forestry literature, e.g. biodiversity, carbon (Gamfeldt et al 2013;Onaindia et al 2013), and production (Rist and Moen 2013). The novelty of our approach developed indicators well suited to the spatial forest data, and which could be used to demonstrate both spatial and temporal change.…”

To compare the provision of ecosystem services in plantation forests under alternative climate change adaptation management trajectories, we interpolated climatic variables from the UK 11-member regional climate models to use at high resolution in forest management situations. We used expert opinion to derive the links between coarse-scaled UK National Ecosystem Assessment scenarios and forest management alternatives (FMA) in a simulation of forest planning and management under climate change uncertainty. Nine indicators were used to compare the provision of forest ecosystem services from four alternative management trajectories based on FMA types under a changing climate. These show that by 2080 a 'business as usual' form of forest management at both Clocaenog and Gwydyr forests will become unsuitable under the two warmest and driest climate variants, marginal under four variants, and borderline suitable under the remaining five variants. This implies that if future forest policy requires the continued delivery of a wide range of ecosystem services, including, home grown timber, biodiversity, and the carbon mitigation benefit from woodlands, then there is 20-50 % chance of failing to deliver on some of these services, unless some adaptation measures to climatic impacts occurs, such as transformation to more diverse species forests managed using low-impact silviculture systems. We show that the benefits of achieving this will be to minimise most of the impacts that climate change would otherwise have on the delivery of ecosystem services from forests.

“…Many up to date innovative ecosystem services methodologies are used during this assessment at different working scales, being the following the principal research lines carried out during the process: 1) Studying conditions & trends of Biodiversity & ecosystem services using indicators, and developing a multifunctionality indicator [16,17]; 2) Mapping ecosystems services at different scales taking into account all natural heritage (biological and geological heritage) [18,19], making special emphasis in mapping cultural ecosystem services [20,21]; 3) Analyzing social preferences (demand) and users' perceptions through participatory processes [22,23,24]; and 4) Developing future scenarios, both qualitative (participatory) [25] and quantitative (modelling) [26,27]. These research lines are interconnected.…”

Abstract:To sustain cultural ecosystem services and cultural heritage it is important to go in depth in the science policy interface, because efficient governance mechanisms emerge from the cooperation of scientists and practitioners. In the Basque Country, we are on the road towards adaptive and resilient landscape management through an integrative approach that enhances the link between science, policy-making and society. Key elements of this approach are: The establishment from the outset of a transdisciplinar community of practice; the creation of specific transdisciplinar working groups to go in depth with concrete applicability measures; a strong outreach strategy and educational programs development; and last but not least, the involvement of stakeholders at multiple stage of the process. Diverse research lines are carried out during the process (e.g. mapping ecosystems services, analyzing social perceptions), whose results are combined to help identify response options for sustainable landscape. Relevant policy implementations of the results of this broad research are already taking place in the Basque Country. The proved utility of this working mechanism makes key agents to continue involved, and to attract more agents into the process. These transdisciplinary processes facilitate the creation of synergies and win-win solutions towards sustainable management of cultural ecosystem services.

“…CA still leaves room for further developments 'without rendering it anthropocentric' (Mabsout 2015: 88) and making it possible to include co-benefits that involve non-humans (e.g. biodiversity) (Onaindia, de Manuel, Madariaga, & Rodríguez-Loinaz 2013) in the same justification rationale. Ballet, Bazin, Dubois, andMahieu (2011: 1832) write that 'natural resources and the environment more generally, play a key role in shaping the structures of people's capabilities through the opportunities and constraints that they generate.…”
