一个由自然、经济和社会科学领域的30个小组组成的跨学科研究单位分析了热带安第斯山脉热点山区雨林生态系统的生物多样性和生态系统服务，特别提到了过去、现在和未来的环境变化。该小组利用生态实地和生态系统驱动的模型实验的数据，并借助对天然森林及其人为农业替代系统的比较实地调查，评估了生态系统服务。该书深入探讨了环境变化对千年生态系统评估（2005年）中提到的各种服务类别的影响：文化、管理、支持和提供生态系统服务。这些实例侧重于植物和动物的生物多样性，包括营养网络，以及土壤、区域气候、水、养分和沉积物循环等非生物/生物参数。所考虑的威胁类型包括土地使用和气候变化以及大气施肥。在调节和提供服务方面，重点主要是水的调节和供应以及气候调节和碳固存。在提供服务方面，该书的综合部分为可持续土地使用组合提供了基于科学的建议，其中包括林业、牧场管理和土著人民的做法等若干备选办法。最后，作者展示了他们如何通过遵循CBD-ABS（生物多样性获取和利益分享公约）的能力建设，以教育和知识转让的形式整合当地社会。
An interdisciplinary research unit consisting of 30 teams in the natural, economic and social sciences analyzed biodiversity and ecosystem services of a mountain rainforest ecosystem in the hotspot of the tropical Andes, with special reference to past, current and future environmental changes. The group assessed ecosystem services using data from ecological field and scenario-driven model experiments, and with the help of comparative field surveys of the natural forest and its anthropogenic replacement system for agriculture. The book offers insights into the impacts of environmental change on various service categories mentioned in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005): cultural, regulating, supporting and provisioning ecosystem services. Examples focus on biodiversity of plants and animals including trophic networks, and abiotic/biotic parameters such as soils, regional climate, water, nutrient and sediment cycles. The types of threats considered include land use and climate changes, as well as atmospheric fertilization. In terms of regulating and provisioning services, the emphasis is primarily on water regulation and supply as well as climate regulation and carbon sequestration. With regard to provisioning services, the synthesis of the book provides science-based recommendations for a sustainable land use portfolio including several options such as forestry, pasture management and the practices of indigenous peoples. In closing, the authors show how they integrated the local society by pursuing capacity building in compliance with the CBD-ABS (Convention on Biological Diversity-Access and Benefit Sharing), in the form of education and knowledge transfer for application.
