Unravelling the relation between Values of Nature and Telecoupling (VaNaTe)

为了促进可持续的土地管理，需要了解土地所有者和土地管理者的决策背后的社会驱动因素，这些决策影响着自然对人类的贡献（NCP）的提供。NCP框架借鉴并扩展了生态系统服务框架，明确承认这些贡献不仅来自自然，还需要人类的投入，这一过程被称为“共同生产”。在生物多样性探索项目的前一阶段，名为“土地管理对生态系统服务供应和分配的影响——ESuDis”的研究项目在三个生物多样性探索研究地点实施了NCP共同生产的概念，并将NCP共同生产与土地利用强度水平联系起来。在VaNaTe中，我们将通过理解支撑土地管理的两个最重要的社会驱动因素之间未知的相互作用来扩展ESuDis的重点：土地所有者和管理者对自然和非cp的价值观以及非cp联合生产的远程耦合。具体来说，我们的目标是(i)理解土地所有者关于土地管理的决定与他们关于自然和NCP的价值体系之间的关系，（ii）识别和描述支撑土地所有者关于NCP合作生产的决定的远耦合原型；（iii）深入了解远耦合原型、价值系统、NCP联合生产和土地管理集约化之间的反馈循环。VaNaTe被组织成三个工作包（wp）。WP1旨在引出土地所有者和管理者表达的自然和NCP的价值并绘制空间地图。WP2旨在识别和表征NCP合作生产的远耦合原型。WP3将理清远耦合原型、价值、NCP合作生产和土地利用强度之间的关系。我们的研究将有助于将生物多样性探索的新框架付诸实践，该框架已扩展到下一阶段，包括影响土地管理、生物多样性和NCP的社会驱动因素。通过这种方式，VaNaTe将为生物多样性探索项目增加价值，因为它将把积累的土地管理知识与支撑这种管理的两个最重要的社会驱动因素联系起来：价值体系和非传染性疾病联合生产的远程耦合。

To contribute to sustainable land management, there is a need for understanding the societal drivers behind land-owners’ and land managers’ decisions that influence the provision of Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP). Drawing and expanding on the ecosystem service framework, the NCP framework explicitly acknowledges that these contributions are not only derived from nature but also require inputs from humans, a process known as “co-production”. In the previous phase of Biodiversity Exploratories, the research project entitled ‘Effects of land management on the Supply and Distribution of ecosystem services - ESuDis-’ operationalized the concept of NCP co-production in the three Biodiversity Exploratories study sites and linked the NCP co-production with the level of land-use intensity. In VaNaTe, we will expand the focus of ESuDis by understanding the unknown interactions between two of the most important societal drivers that underpin land management: landowners’ and managers’ values of nature and NCP and telecoupling of NCP co-production. Specifically, we aim to (i) understand the relationship between land-owners’ decisions regarding land management and their value-systems with regards to nature and NCP, (ii) identify and characterise the telecoupling archetypes that underpin land-owners’ decisions with regard to NCP co-production; and (iii) gain in-depth knowledge of the feedback loops between telecoupling archetypes, values-systems, NCP co-production and land-management intensification. VaNaTe is organized in three working packages (WPs). WP1 seeks to elicit and spatially map values of nature and NCP expressed by landowners and managers. WP2 aims to identify and characterize archetypes of telecoupling of NCP co-production. WP3 will disentangle the relations between telecoupling archetypes, values, NCP co-production and land-use intensity. Our research will contribute to putting into practice the new framework of the Biodiversity Exploratories, which has been expanded for the next phase to include societal drivers that affect land management, biodiversity and NCP. In this way, VaNaTe will add value to the Biodiversity Exploratories since it will link the accumulated knowledge on land management to two of the most important societal drivers that underpin such management: value-systems and telecoupling of NCP co-production.
