In this study, we evaluated the climate change risk to 11 ES provided by Brazilian terrestrial mammals by mapping their potential distribution using ecological niche modeling. We assessed risk by estimating species richness (for each ES) and ES richness (for ES overlapped) under current and future conditions. Although most of the species are projected to experience distribution contractions, overall, the individual ES and their overlap are expected to be less at risk from climate change (i.e., gain in redundancy of providers or area of supply). The Amazon emerges as a hotspot for ES supply by mammals, showing the greatest redundancy and, in some cases, expansion of ES supply. Because ES are benefits to people, and the Amazon is the least populated region in Brazil, this surplus might not translate into actual service. Conversely, the densely populated Atlantic Forest, and the agriculturally productive southern of Cerrado, and Pantanal are expected to lose ES in the future. We emphasize the importance of identifying and mapping ES providers to inform decision-making and policy formulation and guide strategies to deal with climate change and other stressors such as land-use changes. Overall, there is an urgent need for conservation and restoration efforts, particularly in densely populated regions at risk of losing provider species and their ES, such as in the Atlantic Forest.

This paper systematically reviews studies that have assessed the economic costs and benefits of peatland restoration in Indonesia. It summarizes the substantial economic stakes involved in peatland restoration efforts, ranging from millions to billions of dollars. The collective findings emphasize the significant costs required for restoration, alongside the potential economic benefits derived from environmental conservation, climate change mitigation, and sustainable land management. These economic valuations are complemented by a holistic consideration of ecological, social, and cultural factors, providing valuable insights for policymakers and decision-makers. However, while these studies have offered valuable insights into various aspects such as local preferences, willingness to pay, financial costs, and potential economic benefits, none have comprehensively explored the potential trade-offs or forgone opportunities resulting from the proposed restoration programs.

Cambodia’s Long-Term Strategy for Carbon Neutrality and its Nationally Determined Contributions aim to mitigate climate change and enhance ecosystem service supply contributing to reducing erosion and flood hazards that jeopardize human lives and infrastructure. In this paper, we investigate the economic, social and ecosystem service impacts of these two policy packages by applying the Integrated Economic-Environmental Model (IEEM) for Cambodia linked with spatial Land Use Land Cover change and Ecosystem Services modeling. Focusing on Forest and Other Land Use policies within the Long-Term Strategy and Nationally Determined Contributions, our results show that these policies would reduce cumulative carbon dioxide emissions by 1.6 billion tons by 2050. Cumulative Gross Domestic Product and wealth impacts would be US$3.576 billion and US$118 billion, respectively. Implementation of the policies would enhance regulating and provisioning ecosystem service flows overall by US$6.6 billion. The return on investment would be US$31 billion, though not valuing changes in natural capital and environmental quality would realize only about 12% of this return (US$3.7 billion). Our study demonstrates that working towards carbon neutrality is not only compatible with socioeconomic development but would effectively catalyze it. Further, we demonstrate that the most efficient and cost-effective strategy to meet Cambodia’s emissions targets would be to eliminate deforestation more rapidly than outlined in the Long-Term Strategy, complemented by proactive measures for afforestation and forest restoration.

Interest in this area is coalescing under the term ‘co-production’, which recognises that services are generated through interactions between social and ecological processes. Here we conduct a critical review of academic research into the co-production of ecosystem services, aiming to understand the foundations of this emergent field. Despite its recent origins, we identify four different framings as to how ecosystem services are co-produced and discuss their different epistemological bases and applications. The four framings are: <em>input focused</em>, which identifies and measures the inputs underpinning co-production; <em>actor focused</em>, understanding who is involved in co-production; <em>context focused</em> that situates co-production in social relations and place; and a more disparate <em>disciplines focused</em> approach, which highlights alternative conceptualisations of co-production based on diverse disciplinary and conceptual perspectives. There is overlap and dialogue between the four approaches, and we identify examples of how and where to operationalise these framings together to achieve a more holistic understanding of co-production processes. Nevertheless, behind these different framings are differences over what is or is not considered co-produced, and thus what is considered a valid field of inquiry within co-production research. This indicates ontological differences on the social construction of ecosystem services and the role of people therein. We argue that diversity in co-production research is important for representing the complexity of human-environment interactions, but that a more explicit acknowledgement of the ontological assumptions underpinning co-production is crucial if this area of research is to be analytically useful for the management of current and future ecosystem services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 101694"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143183205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, comprehensive assessments of these strategic implementations are still lacking. To validate them and enhance overall effectiveness, we have developed the PES-Catchment protocol, a watershed-based framework that targets strategic areas, and propose metrics for evaluating water and soil conservation services. This methodology seeks to optimize the impact of existing environmental and socioeconomic public policies and governance, by directing the efficient implementation of NbS in the restoration of agroecosystems. Priority areas were identified using a multicriteria decision analysis in GIS software, by merging key factors (watershed management, landscape vulnerability, water availability, land degradation) for improving landscape restoration and ecosystem services through agroforestry implementation. Three reference scenarios were created to identify where the benefits can be maximized: SI) multiple ecosystem services conservation (water and soil); SII) hydrological services provision; and SIII) land degradation neutrality. The extent of high levels of degradation across scenarios ranges from 22 to 26%, with scenario SI being the most responsive to high-priority areas. In contrast, low priority areas were more frequently observed under SII scenario, followed by SIII and SI, respectively. The projections prioritized 25% of the area along the most critical catchments and subbasins, exposing a significant level of land degradation and risks to hydrological services. Furthermore, around 50% of the private rural properties registered in the programs are distributed in medium priority areas, and 21% on average are in high-priority areas, which represents an alert to redirect targets and intensify the efforts in resource allocation (implementing/monitoring).

The analysis reveals a heterogeneous distribution of ecosystem services, with a notable concentration of ecosystem service delivery in the western regions of the basin in Uganda. The Co$tingNature assessment emphasises the widespread spatial distribution of carbon storage and sequestration and agriculture related services, while stakeholders highly value more localised services such as water provision and artisanal fisheries. Using both methods proves crucial, as Co$tingNature offers cost-effective whole-area spatial assessments, whereas stakeholder perceptions provide insights into local concerns and values. This study underscores the importance of complementing global tools with local knowledge, as these tools may otherwise lack relevance in local policy spheres. By incorporating stakeholder perspectives into conservation planning, the study highlights the need to integrate aquatic and agriculture-related ecosystem services into local policies and conservation strategies in the Upper White Nile basin. Leveraging tools like Co$tingNature alongside stakeholder perspectives enhances our understanding of ecosystem dynamics and facilitates more effective environmental management strategies in the region.
