Landscape-level assessment of ecological and socioeconomic functions of rainforest transformation systems in Sumatra (Indonesia) (B10)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We investigate how to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem functioning while serving human needs. We have developed and will further refine EFForTS-ABM, an integrated land-use change model, with the aim to identify mechanisms underlying the trade-offs and synergies of ecological and economic functions in tropical landscapes. Furthermore, we will scale up from micro and local to landscape and broader scales, including an assessment of long-term drivers and consequences of land-use change. The project plays a central role in integrating the research outcomes of the CRC.
