在耦合的人类和自然系统中，生态系统服务构成了生态系统功能与人类对周围环境的需求之间的联系。自然和人类成分之间的相互作用是双向的，并定义了整个系统的动态。在这里，我们描述的MIMES，旨在评估与生态系统服务功能和人类活动的动态分析框架。MIMES整合了各种类型的知识，并阐明了生态系统服务的利益是如何获得和失去的。在MIMES中，使用者将材料如何在自然、人力、建筑和社会资本之间转化形式化。这些信息被综合在一个系统模型中，以预测在不同情景下的生态系统服务和人类使用动态。MIMES要求具体说明多种生态和人类动态，并通过不同的时间和空间视角来理解产出，以评估不同行动在短期和长期以及不同空间尺度上的影响。在这里，我们描述了如何MIMES方法的开发与三个案例研究：全球应用，流域模型，海洋应用。我们讨论了MIMES方法的优点和缺点，并将其与其他广泛使用的生态系统服务评估工具进行比较。出版社：Elsevier B.V.
In coupled human and natural systems ecosystem services form the link between ecosystem function and what humans want and need from their surroundings. Interactions between natural and human components are bidirectional and define the dynamics of the total system. Here we describe the MIMES, an analytical framework designed to assess the dynamics associated with ecosystem service function and human activities. MIMES integrate diverse types of knowledge and elucidate how benefits from ecosystem services are gained and lost. In MIMES, users formalize how materials are transformed between natural, human, built, and social capitals. This information is synthesized within a systems model to forecast ecosystem services and human-use dynamics under alternative scenarios. The MIMES requires that multiple ecological and human dynamics be specified, and that outputs may be understood through different temporal and spatial lenses to assess the effects of different actions in the short and long term and at different spatial scales. Here we describe how MIMES methodologies were developed in association with three case studies: a global application, a watershed model, and a marine application. We discuss the advantages and disadvantage of the MIMES approach and compare it to other broadly used ecosystem service assessment tools. Published by Elsevier B.V.
