Les forêts de cèdre de l'Atlas constituent un élément fondamental du paysage marocain dont le rôle et les services écosystémiques sont prééminents. Cette première partie de l'article présente une esquisse de la répartition actuelle des forêts de[...]Article
This paper uses bibliometric mapping and network analysis to review decades of research on ecosystem services and life cycle assessment (LCA). The study reveals how these two academic fields evolved to become distinct fields with little interact[...]Article
C. Berthelot ; R. Jean ; M. Riou ; L. Fouyer |Les sols sont des milieux abritant une grande diversité de micro-organismes et de microfaune. Ils jouent un rôle clé dans la fertilité des sols et sont acteurs de nombreux services écosystémiques dont la résistance des cultures, la régulation de[...]Article
Agroecosystems are anthropised ecosystems where human activities, mainly agricultural practices, affect the innate functioning, leading to the provision of agroecosystem services (AES) and disservices (AEDS). This study presents a novel and inte[...]Article
Exploring and developing new tools for the accounting and management of natural C sinks will provide a closer, more accurate option to remark the importance of such sinks in relation to livestock production, helping to support the persistence of[...]Article
Ecosystem services and human well-being have received increasing scientific interest owing to their importance in influencing sustainability. Yet, quantitative and visual analyses of the scientific literature on ecosystem services and human well[...]Article
The Covid-19 pandemic newly brings food resilience in cities to our attention and the need to question the desired degree of food self-sufficiency through urban agriculture. While these questions are by no means new and periodically entering the[...]Article

Cowden |Wetlands differ in their ability to provide ecosystem services, and thus there is a need to assess ecosystem service delivery in order to prioritize protection and restoration efforts. We used a Delphi-based expert-panel method to validate an ec[...]Article
Both in the European Union (EU) and worldwide, the resilience of agri-food systems depends on the human ability to balance between socio-economic and ecological trade-offs. Recent ecosystem services literature acknowledges that smallholder farme[...]Article
The use of the ecosystem services approach for ecosystem management, including the valuation of ecosystem services, has grown in recent decades. Although a common framework is used, each ecosystem has its own characteristics. The agroecosystem, [...]Article
A. Wezel ; S. Stöckli ; E. Tasser ; H. Nitsch ; A. Vincent |An ongoing decrease in habitat and species diversity is occurring in many areas across Europe, including in grasslands in mountain areas, calling for adapted biodiversity management and measures. In this context, we carried out 79 interviews wit[...]Article
The study was designed to quantify value and the spatial distribution of key ecosystem services such as wood production, habitat for biodiversity, carbon sequestration and air quality regulation in two areas: Ereğli and Yeşilkuşak[...]Article

It is even more challenging when it comes to complex and unfamiliar ecosystems and the threatened ecosystem services they provide. Making peo[...]Article
M. Longo ; N. Dal Ferro ; B. Lazzaro ; F. Morari |Agri-environmental measures (AEMs) are meant to foster environmentally-friendly farming techniques. The use of AEMs to enhance agroecosystem quality is still under debate due to site-specific spatial mismatches that often occur between adopted A[...]Article
Forest management is an untapped tool, yet to realize its full potential to fight against climate change. The capability of forests to act as carbon sinks makes them a key resource to reduce CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. However, carbon w[...]Article

Clough |Context The global demand for food is expected to continue increasing for decades, which may drive both agricultural expansion and intensification. The associated environmental impacts are potentially considerable but will depend on how the agr[...]Article
The production of food within cities through urban agriculture can be considered as a nature-based solution and is argued to be an important response to the current COVID-19 pandemic as well as to climate change and other urban challenges. Howev[...]Article
As urbanization and agriculture increase worldwide, habitats and food sources for wild pollinators are often fragmented or destroyed. As wild pollinators contribute both resilience and variety to agricultural fields, it is desirable to implement[...]Article
