Presentation transcript:

Title Date1 WAVES © 2014 Wealth Accounting and the Valuation of Ecosystem Services Biophysical modeling of ecosystem services: Module 2B: Ecological Production Functions and Ecoregions WAVES Training Module

Title Date2 WAVES © 2014 Ecological production functions Analogous to production functions in: Economics Economic production = ∫ (land, labor, capital) Agriculture Plant growth = ∫ (N, P, K, water, growing degree days)

Title Date3 WAVES © 2014 Ecological production functions A common example: Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation: a = R*K*LS*C*P Soil loss = rainfall erosivity*soil erodibility*slope steepness & length*cover management*conservation practice Predicts sheet & rill erosion in relatively flat, agricultural landscapes REPLACE WITH IMAGES OF THE 5 FACTORS? REPLACE WITH IMAGES OF E.G., A CORN FIELD

Title Date4 WAVES © 2014 How do we derive ecological production functions? Field experiments

Title Date5 WAVES © 2014 How do we derive ecological production functions? Field experiments

Title Date6 WAVES © 2014 How can we apply ecological production functions more broadly? Meta analysis

Title Date7 WAVES © 2014 How can we apply ecological production functions more broadly? Meta analysis

Title Date8 WAVES © 2014 Knowing the “boundaries” of your models Can we apply a model tested in one place to another? RUSLE: developed in the central United States. May be OK to apply to agricultural landscapes in Europe. Probably not OK to apply to volcanic landscapes in the Pacific Islands. Biomes or ecoregions: “natural” units – similar vegetation, climate, soils, etc. Similar ecological processes that underpin ecosystem services?

Title Date9 WAVES © 2014 Knowing the “boundaries” of your models Are there thresholds and nonlinearities in the biophysical or socioeconomic system? Local/regional ecological & hydrologic transitions (climatic drying, collapse of a fishery) Potential tipping points in the global climate system (Lenton et al. 2008) Breakdowns in governance (natural disasters, drought, poverty, war) If so, a model may predict system behavior well up to a point but then break down Predicting and understanding thresholds and nonlinearities is a very complex problem (Scheffer et al. 2009)

Title Date10 WAVES © 2014 Thresholds and nonlinearities Scheffer et al. 2009Paul and Meyer 2001

Title Date11 WAVES © 2014 How widely can we apply ecological production functions? Derived, at least initially, from field measurements/experiments!

Title Date12 WAVES © 2014 Ecoregions and the use of ecological production functions

Title Date13 WAVES © 2014 Whose ecoregions? World Wildlife Fund (WWF) WWF ecoregions USGS ecosystems biomes (global n = 14) (global n = 867) (global n = 3,923)

Title Date14 WAVES © 2014 Whose ecoregions? World Wildlife Fund (WWF) biomes WWF ecoregions ecosystems

Title Date15 WAVES © 2014 WWF biomes & ecoregions - Philippines

Title Date16 WAVES © 2014 Marine ecoregions The Nature Conservancy – Marine Ecoregions of the World (global n = 232)

Title Date17 WAVES © 2014 Exercise 3: Ecoregions for ecosystem service modeling 1. Pull up a map of your country’s ecoregions. 2. Individually, spend 5 minutes writing the pros and cons of using a given ecoregional classification system for applying ecosystem service models. 3. Spend 10 minutes in small group discussion (3-4 participants), debating your positions. 4. Each group presents one of their positions to the full group.
