Sectoral impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services: introduction to the SIMBIOSYS project Jane Stout (TCD) Human activity From Steffan et al. 2004 Earth systems Biodiversity Biodiversity Variety of life: Variety of life: genetic, species , genetic, species , habitat habitat Ecosystem Ecosystem processes and processes and functioning functioning (e.g. primary (e.g. primary production and production and formation of formation of biomass) biomass) Ecosystem Ecosystem services services (e.g. harvestable (e.g. harvestable products, climate products, climate regulation) regulation) Material and non‐material outputs From Haines‐Young et al. 2012 report to EEA Benefit Benefit (e.g. provision of (e.g. provision of food, shelter) food, shelter) Value Value (e.g. value of (e.g. value of products, products, willingness to pay willingness to pay for protection of for protection of woodland) woodland) Ireland’s biodiversity “Maintaining the functionality of ecosystems has become increasingly urgent” Ecosystem service Class of service Examples Provisioning Nutrition Food, water Materials Raw materials, medicinal & ornamental resources Energy Biofuels Regulation of waste Bioremediation, wastewater treatment Regulation against hazards Wind breaks, water storage… Regulation of biophysical conditions Global climate regulation, water purification, formation and maintenance of soil Regulation of biotic environment Life cycle maintenance, biological control of pests and diseases Symbolic Areas of natural beauty, sense of peace Intellectual & spiritual Nature watching, hunting/fishing, scientific research, education Regulating & Maintenance Cultural Ecosystem service Examples Provisioning Food, water Raw materials, medicinal & ornamental resources Biofuels Regulating & Maintenance Energy crops Bioremediation, wastewater treatment Wind breaks, water storage… Global climate regulation, water purification, formation and maintenance of soil Road Landscaping Life cycle maintenance, biological control of pests and diseases Cultural Areas of natural beauty, sense of peace Nature watching, hunting/fishing, scientific research, education Aquaculture Sectoral IMpacts on BIOdiversity and ecoSYStem services Genetic Species Habitats SECTORAL REVIEWS http://www.tcd.ie/research/simbiosys TEAM EFFORT!
