Abstract

Agricultural landscapes are linked to many functions that benefit human well-being, with a focus on food production. These functions are intrinsically linked with the management choices made by farmers, which are reflected in different farming systems (FS) and their shares in the landscape. However, there is a mismatch between the level where these decisions are taken – farm level – and the landscape level, where many ecosystem processes and interactions take place. The FS approach is one way to bridge the gap between both levels since it enables the joint assessment of multiple management decisions from adjacent farmers using farmlevel data and combining them at the landscape level through clustering techniques. The result is a spatial composition of different FS that enables us to capture landscape gradients and spatially relate them with biodiversity and ecosystem services, thus helping to inform and design policies to affect farming system choice. In Europe, the use of the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) database, coupled with the Land Parcel Information System (LPIS), a high-resolution spatially-explicit identification system for agricultural plots, provides a potentially rich source of information on agricultural management (e.g., type of crop, livestock stocking, land use).

In this study, we investigated the spatial associations between ecosystem condition and ecosystem services indicators; and explored relationships between landscape gradients and these indicators using a FS approach based on IACS and LPIS data. Agroforestry systems were shown to be linked to a greater ecosystem condition and ecosystem services delivery. In contrast, LG dominated by very intensive and specialized FS revealed the most pronounced negative effects on ecosystems.

采用耕作系统方法评估生态系统服务之间的协同作用和权衡关系
农业景观与许多造福人类福祉的功能相关联,重点是粮食生产。这些功能与农民所做的管理选择有着内在联系,这些选择反映在不同的耕作制度(FS)及其在景观中所占的份额中。然而,做出这些决定的层面--农场层面--与发生许多生态系统过程和相互作用的景观层面之间存在不匹配。FS 方法是弥合这两个层面之间差距的一种方法,因为它可以使用农场层面的数据对相邻农户的多种管理决策进行联合评估,并通过聚类技术在景观层面将这些决策结合起来。其结果是不同农场主的空间组合,使我们能够捕捉景观梯度,并在空间上将其与生物多样性和生态系统服务联系起来,从而帮助我们了解和设计影响耕作制度选择的政策。在欧洲,综合管理和控制系统(IACS)数据库的使用与地块信息系统(LPIS)(一种高分辨率的农业地块空间明确识别系统)相结合,为农业管理(如作物类型、牲畜存栏量、土地利用)提供了潜在的丰富信息来源。在本研究中,我们调查了生态系统状况和生态系统服务指标之间的空间关联;并使用基于 IACS 和 LPIS 数据的 FS 方法探索了景观梯度与这些指标之间的关系。结果表明,农林系统与更高的生态系统状况和生态系统服务提供有关。相比之下,以非常密集和专业化的林业系统为主的 LG 对生态系统的负面影响最为明显。

期刊介绍: Ecosystem Services is an international, interdisciplinary journal that is associated with the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP). The journal is dedicated to exploring the science, policy, and practice related to ecosystem services, which are the various ways in which ecosystems contribute to human well-being, both directly and indirectly. Ecosystem Services contributes to the broader goal of ensuring that the benefits of ecosystems are recognized, valued, and sustainably managed for the well-being of current and future generations. The journal serves as a platform for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to share their findings and insights, fostering collaboration and innovation in the field of ecosystem services.
