Delivering Benefits from Nature in a Highly Connected World

该项目旨在通过开发新的预测模型和决策工具，增进对全球生态系统服务流动（人类从自然获得的惠益）对实现可持续土地利用的影响的了解。该项目意义重大，因为它将解决在土地使用变化对当地和全球生态系统服务的提供产生影响时评估土地使用战略的复杂挑战。预期成果将是土地利用变化对生态系统服务惠益全球分布的影响以及生态系统服务如何相互权衡的新证据。这将带来巨大的好处，使人们能够在一个联系日益紧密的世界中更好地评估土地使用政策。

This project aims to improve knowledge of the implications of global flows of ecosystem services (the benefits people receive from nature) for achieving sustainable land use by developing novel predictive models and decision tools. The project is significant because it will resolve the complex challenge of assessing land use strategies when land use change has impacts on ecosystem service provision locally and globally. Expected outcomes will be new evidence for the effect of land use change on the global distribution of ecosystem service benefits and how ecosystem services trade-off against each other. This should provide significant benefits by enabling better assessment of land use policy in an increasingly highly connected world.
