自然和文化生态系统服务(CES)效益之间的关系得到了很好的接受，但人们对此认识较少，生物多样性在这种关系中的潜在作用也是如此。通过英国威尔特郡的一项公共问卷调查，针对低地多功能景观，调查了景观中一系列常见物种组的存在、物种组魅力、种群丰富度与人们感受到的从物种组中获得的好处之间的关系。研究结果表明，物种组魅力影响了受访者报告的当前丰度水平的好处，并影响了他们对潜在丰度增加或减少的反应。受访者报告说，被认为具有魅力的物种群(鸟类、开花植物、蝴蝶)的好处很高，而且回答模式有很高的一致性。受访者报告说，从假设为不那么有魅力的群体(甲虫/虫子、荆棘和荨麻)中获益较少，后一种反应模式显示出更大的差异。这些结果可以用来促进对生物多样性价值的更全面的理解，方法是教育和告知公众，使他们不仅从有魅力的物种中受益，而且从日常的、普通的和不那么明显的魅力物种中受益。(C)2017年作者。爱思唯尔出版公司(Elsevier B.V.)
The relationship between nature and cultural ecosystem service (CES) benefits is well accepted but poorly understood, as is the potential role of biodiversity in the relationship. By means of a public questionnaire survey in Wiltshire, UK, the relationship between the presence of a range of common species groups, species group 'charisma', group abundance in the landscape, and the benefit that people felt that they derived from the species groups was investigated for a lowland multifunctional landscape.& para;& para;Findings showed that species group charisma influenced the benefit reported by respondents for current abundance levels, and influenced their response to potential increases or decreases in abundance. Respondents reported high levels of benefit from species groups hypothesised to be charismatic (birds, flowering plants, butterflies) and there was high consistency in the pattern of response. Respondents reported less benefit from groups hypothesised to be less charismatic (beetles/bugs, brambles and nettles), the latter response patterns showing much greater variation. These results could be used to promote a more holistic understanding of the value of biodiversity by educating and informing the public so that they derive benefit not just from the charismatic, but also from the everyday, the commonplace and less obviously charismatic species.
