生物多样性在大自然对人类的贡献(即生态系统服务)中发挥着重要作用,但生物多样性如何贡献的关键细节很难确定。确定提供服务的生态系统组成部分的努力提高了我们对哪些物种、功能群、种群或栖息地直接提供服务的理解。然而,物种并不是孤立存在的,人们对物种如何通过与直接提供服务的物种相互作用间接影响生态系统服务的了解要少得多。考虑到物种在复杂的网络中相互作用,这种不确定性甚至更大。因此,对物种相互依存性的详细分析很少包括在生态系统服务评估或养护决策中。到目前为止,大多数关于食物网和生态系统服务的研究在很大程度上是针对许多服务并行发展的,但这些领域和数据进行经验整合的时机已经成熟。为了进一步促进这种整合,我们汇编了数据集,将现有的三个生态网络与七个生态系统功能和服务联系起来:海浪衰减、海岸线稳定、碳固存、水过滤、渔业、观鸟和捕猎水鸟。我们利用了来自三个沿海盐沼生态系统的高分辨率生态相互作用网络数据集,包括来自美国加利福尼亚州卡平特里亚盐沼的数百种物种的详细物种信息(例如,消费者策略、身体大小、生物量),以及来自墨西哥巴哈的Estero de Punta Banda和Bahia Falsa的详细物种信息(例如,Hechinger等人提供的)。(2011)。通过广泛的文献综合和公民科学数据的使用,我们确定了Hechinger等人中的哪些物种。(2011)数据直接提供了每个生态系统的服务。我们扩充了Hechinger等人的结果。(2011)发表在《生态学》上的数据,特别是包括物种-服务链接的链接(或EDGE)列表,以指示提供服务的物种,其中物种被列为“资源”,服务被列为“消费者”。将这些数据连接到以前发表的具有物种相互作用(即营养、寄生)的生态网络,形成了一个由物种和服务节点组成的拓扑网络。我们还提供了一个向生态网络分配服务的协议,可以在其他生态系统中使用。这一数据集为推进生态系统服务的重要支持物种的知识和开发生态系统服务的新生态网络方法提供了一步。没有版权限制;当数据在出版物中使用时,请引用本数据文件。
Biodiversity plays important roles in nature's contributions to people (i.e., ecosystem services), but the critical details of how biodiversity contributes are challenging to determine. Efforts to identify the components of an ecosystem that provide services have improved our understanding of which species, functional groups, population, or habitats directly provide services. However, species do not exist in isolation and considerably less is known about how species indirectly influence ecosystem services through interacting with those species directly providing services. This uncertainty is even greater when considering that species interact in complex networks. As such, detailed analyses of species interdependencies are rarely included in ecosystem services assessments or conservation decisions. To date, most studies on food webs and on ecosystem services have developed largely in parallel for many services, but these fields and data are ripe for empirical integration. To further this integration, we compiled data sets that linked three existing ecological networks to seven ecosystem functions and services: wave attenuation, shoreline stabilization, carbon sequestration, water filtration, fisheries, birdwatching, and waterfowl hunting. We leveraged high-resolution ecological interaction network data sets from three coastal salt marsh ecosystems including detailed species information (e.g., consumer strategy, body size, biomass) on several hundred species from Carpinteria Salt Marsh in California, USA, and for Estero de Punta Banda and Bahia Falsa in Baja, Mexico from Hechinger et al. (2011). Through an extensive literature synthesis and use of citizen science data, we identified which species in the Hechinger et al. (2011) data provided each ecosystem services directly. We augmented the Hechinger et al. (2011) data published in Ecology, particularly the link (or edge) list to include species-service links to indicate a species providing a service, in which species are listed as "Resources" and services are listed as "Consumers." Connecting these data to the previously published ecological networks with species interactions (i.e., trophic, parasitism) formed a topological network with species and service nodes. We also provided a protocol for assigning services to ecological networks that can be used in other ecosystems. This data set provides a step toward advancing the knowledge of important supporting species for ecosystem services and to developing new ecological network methods for ecosystem services.
