这一章考察了由茶园主导的景观提供的娱乐生态系统服务。这样的区域在世界各地的娱乐用户中很受欢迎，包括徒步旅行者、山地自行车手、露营者和自然爱好者。然而，相对较少的研究记录了国家森林等丛林景观提供的娱乐服务。对于政策制定者来说，有效管理这些地区，提供娱乐服务和受益人口的基线信息很重要，特别是考虑到当前的压力因素，如过度使用和预计的气候变化影响。为此，本章考察了洛杉矶和圣地亚哥大都市区周围以查帕拉尔为主的四个国家森林，即洛杉矶、克利夫兰、洛杉矶教士和圣贝纳迪诺。利用美国农业部林业局国家游客使用监测(NVUM)调查的数据，我们讨论了使用这些公共土地的游客类型和他们的娱乐使用模式。我们的分析表明，在以查帕拉尔为主的国家森林中进行娱乐对少数民族来说尤其重要。然而，这些景观正面临着人类和自然干扰制度的变化，这可能会影响它们提供的娱乐服务。
This chapter examines recreation ecosystem services provided by chaparral dominated landscapes. Such areas are popular around the world amongst recreation users, including hikers, mountain bikers, campers, and nature enthusiasts. Yet, relatively few studies have documented the recreation services provided by chaparral landscapes such as national forests. For policy makers to manage these areas effectively, baseline information on the provision of recreation services and the populations who benefit is important, especially given current stressors such as overuse and projected climate change effects. To this end, this chapter examines four chaparral dominated national forests surrounding the Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas, namely the Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres, and San Bernardino. Using data from the USDA Forest Service’s National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) survey, we discuss the types of visitors using these public lands and their recreation use patterns. Our analyses suggest recreation in chaparral dominated national forests is especially important for minorities. Yet, these landscapes are facing altered human and natural disturbance regimes that may affect the recreation services they provide.
