项目摘要

A Canadian future of shared health, prosperity, and resilience will depend on our ability to manage ecosystemsand all the benefits they provide for human well-being now and in the future. Indeed, the central challenge ofour lifetime is to meet our needs for food, energy, and other critical ecosystem services now withoutundermining the ability to provide these services into the future, even as we face looming global environmentalchallenges. Our network of researchers will monitor and model ecosystem services - the benefits people obtainfrom nature - in a series of working landscapes across Canada. Working landscapes - land actively used forproduction of resources such as food, fish, and forest products - are of particular importance for theircontributions 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 otherecosystems 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 ina set of six working landscapes across Canada, with the goal of scaling up the understanding we gain throughthese six landscape studies to deliver an ES dashboard for Canada that can be used to measure our progresstowards sustainability and resilience of working landscapes for all Canadians.

共同的健康，繁荣和韧性的加拿大未来将取决于我们管理生态系统的能力，以及他们现在和将来为人类福祉提供的所有好处。的确，一生的核心挑战是满足我们对食物，能源和其他关键生态系统服务的需求，而即使我们面临着迫在眉睫的全球环境挑战，而不必设置这些服务为未来提供这些服务的能力。我们的研究人员网络将在整个加拿大的一系列工作景观中监视和建模生态系统服务 - 人们从自然界获得的好处。工作景观 - 积极使用的土地供食品，鱼类和森林产品等资源 - 对于他们对加拿大人的福祉的贡献特别重要。从历史上看，工作景观的重点一直是廉价，可靠和有效地生产食物，能源或木材。对这些景观提供的其他环境系统服务的研究，包括碳存储，洪水调节，娱乐，精神增强，落后于这些景观。我们的网络将衡量整个加拿大六个工作景观的各种生态系统服务，其目的是扩大我们通过这些六项景观研究获得的理解，以为加拿大提供ES仪表板，可用于衡量我们的进步的可持续性和对所有加拿大人的工作景观的弹性。
