A major gap exists in understanding how biodiversity underpins the supply of regulating nature’s contributions to people (NCP). This is especially true in Africa where both biodiversity and NCP are poorly understood and undergoing degradation. In Kili-SES SP1, we will calculate measures of the supply of all major regulating NCP on Kilimanjaro by combining the comprehensive KiLi 1 data with new data collected on the original 65 plots. These NCP are: habitat creation and maintenance, pollination and dispersal of seeds, regulation of detrimental organisms and biological processes, the protection and decontamination of soils and sediments, regulation of climate via CO2 and other greenhouse gases, regulation of hazards including landslides, extreme heat and fire, and regulation of freshwater quantity, quality, location and timing. Where direct measurements of NCP are not feasible, we will support the assessment by model-based evaluation (e.g. for groundwater related NCP). We will also measure the components of biodiversity hypothesized to underpin these NCP, including measures of individual species, their functional traits and aggregate measures of functional diversity. Through the assessment of the supply of regulating NCP to people on Kilimanjaro, we will 1. explore how these NCP vary across climate and land-use gradients, 2. identify which components of biodiversity underpin the supply of NCP, 3. analyse how these NCP are related to each other and to material and non-material NCP, and identify potential synergies and trade-offs among them, and 4. ask how anthropogenic drivers influence these relationships. Our project will provide the foundations for key components of Kili-SES, e.g. in terms of the supply and demand of NCP on Kilimanjaro and its consequences for human well-being, and will give a unique insight into the role that biodiversity plays in the supply of regulating NCP on tropical mountains.

在理解生物多样性如何支撑调节自然对人类贡献的供应方面存在重大差距。在非洲尤其如此，那里对生物多样性和自然保护区都知之甚少，而且正在退化。在Kili-SES SP1中，我们将通过将综合KiLi 1数据与在原始65个地块上收集的新数据相结合，计算基利曼哈罗上所有主要调节NCP的供应量。这些NCP是：这些活动包括：生境的创造和维持;种子的授粉和传播;有害生物和生物过程的调节;土壤和沉积物的保护和净化;通过二氧化碳和其他温室气体调节气候;包括滑坡、酷热和火灾在内的灾害的调节;以及淡水数量、质量、地点和时间的调节。如果直接测量NCP不可行，我们将支持通过基于模型的评估进行评估（例如与地下水相关的NCP）。我们还将测量假设支持这些NCP的生物多样性的组成部分，包括单个物种的措施，其功能特性和功能多样性的综合措施。通过对基利曼哈罗上人们调节性NCP供应的评估，我们将1。探索这些NCP如何在气候和土地利用梯度上变化，2.确定生物多样性的哪些组成部分支持NCP的供应，3。分析这些NCP如何相互关联，以及与重要和非重要NCP的关联，并确定它们之间的潜在协同作用和权衡;询问人为驱动因素如何影响这些关系。我们的项目将为Kili-SES的关键组成部分提供基础，例如，在基利曼哈罗的NCP供需及其对人类福祉的影响方面，并将对生物多样性的作用提供独特的见解在调节热带山区NCP的供应方面发挥作用。
