So you want your research to be relevant? Building the bridge between ecosystem services research and practice
Highlights
- Little of the abundant ecosystem services research can directly support decisions.
- Researchers can make their research more relevant for decision makers.
- Relevance is increased by the use of benefit relevant indicators (BRIs).
- Decision makers require methods that balance quality and feasibility.

Pre-dispersal seed predators and fungi differ in their effect on Luehea seemannii capsule development, seed germination, and dormancy across two Panamanian forests
Abstract
Ecological homogenization of residential macrosystems
Abstract
Similarities in planning, development and culture within urban areas may lead to the convergence of ecological processes on continental scales. Transdisciplinary, multi-scale research is now needed to understand and predict the impact of human-dominated landscapes on ecosystem structure and function.
Watersheds, Forests, and Childhood Health: Global Relationships and Policy Opportunities
Abstract
Background
Ecosystems are being degraded worldwide, reducing biodiversity and threatening human well-being. Especially in developing countries, rural and poor households often depend closely on natural capital for their livelihoods and health. However, the health consequences of ecosystem declines remain difficult to predict. Here, we report on two multicountry analysis to investigate general relationships between ecosystems and human health for these vulnerable populations.
