NEXT GENERATION ECOSYSTEM SERVICES MODELING
Over the past decade, considerable progress has been made in modeling ecosystem services (ES), capturing complex processes with relatively simple approaches to demonstrate the benefits of nature to people, to better understand how these benefits are produced and distributed, and to help decision-makers improve ES management decisions. While these models capture much of the basic processes of ES, our understanding of the ecological underpinnings of the provision of ES remains rudimentary. The goal of our projects in this theme is to synthesize existing understanding, highlight key gaps, and suggest improvements that would increase the usefulness of models in terms of increasing learning, making better decisions, and understanding the benefits of nature to people.
