A Canadian future of shared health, prosperity, and resilience will depend on our ability to manage ecosystems and all the benefits they provide for human well-being now and in the future. Indeed, the central challenge of our lifetime is to meet our needs for food, energy, and other critical ecosystem services now without undermining the ability to provide these services into the future, even as we face looming global environmental challenges. Our network of researchers will monitor and model ecosystem services - the benefits people obtain from nature - in a series of working landscapes across Canada. Working landscapes - land actively used for production of resources such as food, fish, and forest products - are of particular importance for their contributions to Canadians' wellbeing. Historically, the focus in working landscapes has been on the cheap, reliable, and efficient production of individual ES such as food, energy, or timber. Studies of the other ecosystems services provided by these landscapes, including carbon storage, flood regulation, recreation, spiritual enhancement, have lagged behind. Our network will measure a broad variety of ecosystem services in a set of six working landscapes across Canada, with the goal of scaling up the understanding we gain through these six landscape studies to deliver an ES dashboard for Canada that can be used to measure our progress towards sustainability and resilience of working landscapes for all Canadians.

加拿大共享健康、繁荣和韧性的未来将取决于我们管理生态系统的能力 以及它们为人类现在和未来的福祉提供的所有好处。事实上，核心挑战是 我们的一生是为了满足我们对食物、能源和其他关键生态系统服务的需求，现在没有 破坏未来提供这些服务的能力，即使我们面临着迫在眉睫的全球环境 挑战。我们的研究人员网络将监测和模拟生态系统服务--人们获得的好处 来自大自然-在加拿大各地的一系列工作景观中。工作景观--积极利用的土地 粮食、鱼类和林产品等资源的生产对他们的 为加拿大人的福祉做出贡献。从历史上看，工作景观的重点一直是廉价的， 可靠、高效地生产单个ES，如食物、能源或木材。对他者的研究 这些景观提供的生态系统服务，包括碳储存、洪水调节、娱乐、 精神上的提升，已经落后了。我们的网络将衡量广泛的生态系统服务 一组加拿大各地的六个工作环境，目标是扩大我们通过 这六项景观研究为加拿大提供了一个可用来衡量我们进展的ES仪表盘 为所有加拿大人实现工作环境的可持续性和复原力。
