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.

加拿大共享健康、繁荣和复原力的未来将取决于我们管理生态系统的能力，以及它们现在和未来为人类福祉提供的所有好处。事实上，我们一生的核心挑战是满足我们现在对食物、能源和其他关键生态系统服务的需求，而不破坏未来提供这些服务的能力，即使我们面临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-人们从自然中获得的好处-在加拿大各地的一系列工作景观中。工作景观-土地积极用于生产资源，如食品，鱼类和森林产品-是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，可靠和有效地生产个别ES，如食品，能源或木材。对这些景观提供的其他生态系统服务的研究，包括碳储存，洪水调节，娱乐，精神提升，已经落后。我们的网络将在加拿大的六个工作景观中测量各种各样的生态系统服务，目标是扩大我们通过这六个景观研究获得的理解，为加拿大提供一个ES仪表板，可用于衡量我们为所有加拿大人提供的工作景观的可持续性和弹性。
