            "abstractNote": "We tested whether upland or peatland location affected rates of litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics. We examined the patterns of mass loss and carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) gain, retention, or loss in 11 forest tissues over 6 years at three upland and three peatland sites in the Low Boreal, High Boreal, and Low Subarctic zones of central Canada. After 6 years of decomposition, the average litter mass remaining ranged from 35% for fescue grass to 75% for western redcedar needles and 94% for wood blocks placed on the soil surface, with exponential decay coefficients (k) of  0.16,  0.05, and  0.01, respectively. At one pair of sites, the mass remaining and the k values indicated that faster decomposition occurred in the upland site than in the nearby peatland site. The reverse was the case in a second pair. No overall pattern was apparent in the third. In general, Douglas-fir needles decomposed significantly faster in peatland than upland sites, and the reverse pattern occurred for bracken fern. Most foliar litters retained their original N mass and lost P as they decomposed. There were few major differences between N and P dynamics in litters decomposing at upland and peatland sites, though N and P retention in some cases was greater at the peatland sites. These results suggest that longer term (&gt;6 years) differences in decomposition rate and differences in litter quality account for larger C accumulation in peatland than in upland soils. Les auteurs ont vrifi si les milieux secs ou les tourbires affectent le taux de dcomposition et la dynamique des nutriments. Ils ont examin les patrons de perte de masse ainsi que le gain, la rtention ou la perte de carbone (C), d'azote (N) et de phosphore (P) dans 11 tissus de plantes forestires placs dans des sachets  dcomposition. L'exprience a t ralise sur une priode de 6 ans dans trois milieux secs et trois tourbires jumels dans les zones du Bas-Boral, du Haut-Boral et du Bas-Subarctique du centre du Canada. Aprs 6 ans de dcomposition, la masse moyenne rsiduelle de litire variait de 35 % pour la ftuque  75 % pour les aiguilles de cdre de l'ouest et 94 % pour les blocs de bois placs  la surface du sol, avec des coefficients exponentiels de dcomposition (k) respectifs de  0,16,  0,05 et  0,01. Dans le cas d'une paire de sites, la masse rsiduelle et les valeurs de k indiquaient une dcomposition plus rapide dans le milieu sec que dans la tourbire. C'tait l'inverse dans le cas d'une seconde paire alors qu'il n'y avait pas de diffrence dans le cas de la troisime paire. En gnral, les aiguilles de sapin Douglas se sont dcomposes significativement plus rapidement dans les tourbires que dans les milieux secs et l'inverse a t observ pour la fougre aigle. La plupart des litires foliaires ont conserv leur masse originale de N mais ont perdu du P durant leur dcomposition. Il y avait peu de diffrences majeures entre les dynamiques de N et P dans les litires se dcomposant dans les milieux secs par rapport aux tourbires bien que dans certains cas, la rtention de N et P tait plus importante dans les tourbires. Ces rsultats suggrent que des diffrences  plus long terme (&gt;6 ans) dans le taux de dcomposition ou que des diffrences dans la qualit de la litire sont responsables de la plus grande accumulation de C dans les tourbires que dans les milieux secs.

            "abstractNote": "Mountain watersheds are sources of a set of valuable ecosystem services as well as potential hazards. The former include high quality freshwater, carbon sequestration, nutrient retention, and biodiversity, whereas the latter include flash floods, landslides and forest fires. Each of these ecosystem services and hazards represents different elements of the integrated and co-evolved ecological, hydrological and geomorphic subsystems of the watershed and should be approached analytically as a coupled land system. Forest structure and species are important influences on the partitioning of precipitation, the lateral redistribution of water, runoff and sediment production, weathering and soil development. Forest regulation of hydrologic dynamics contributes to the development of patterns of soil pore pressure and slope instability during storms or snowmelt. The spatial patterns of root depth, structure and strength, developed by the below ground allocation of carbon in the forest canopy in response to limiting resources of water and nutrients, contributes to slope stability and drainage, and the maintenance of stomatal conductance linking water and carbon cycling. This in turn provides the photosynthate required to build leaf area, stem and root biomass. The linked ecological, hydrologic and geomorphic systems are characterized by specific catenary patterns that should be captured in any coupled modeling approach. In this paper we extend an ecohydrological modeling approach to include hydrologic and canopy structural pattern impacts on slope stability, with explicit feedbacks between ecosystem water, carbon and nutrient cycling, and the transient development of landslide potential in steep forested catchments. Using measured distributions of canopy leaf area index, and empirically modeled soil depth and root cohesion, the integrated model is able to generate localized areas of past instability without specific calibration or training with mapped landslides. As the model has previously been shown to simulate space/time patterns of coupled water, carbon and nutrient cycling, the integration of slope stability as a function of hydrologic, ecosystem and geomorphic processes provides the ability to closely link multiple ecosystem services with a unified approach.",

River floodplains are important multiple resources in that they provide various ecosystem services. It is fundamentally significant to consider environmental externalities that accrue from ecosystem services of natural floodplains. There is an interesting gap between static and dynamic models about policy implications for floodplain management, although they are based on the same assumptions. Essentially, we can derive the same optimal conditions, which imply that the marginal benefits must equal the sum of the marginal costs and the social external costs related to ecosystem services. Thus, we have to internalise the external costs by market-based policies. In this respect, market-based policies seem to be effective in a static model. However, they are not sufficient in the context of a dynamic model because the optimal steady state turns out to be unstable. Based on a dynamic model, we need more coercive regulation policies.",

            "abstractNote": "The flood-pulse concept (FPC) states that annual inundation is the principal force responsible for productivity and biotic interactions in river-floodplain systems. Somatic growth is one component of production, and we hypothesized that, if the FPC applies, growth of fishes that use the moving littoral zone should differ among years with differing flood pattern, whereas nonlittoral fishes would show no such response. Growth of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), species that exploit littoral resources, increased during a year having an unusual warm-season flood in the Upper Mississippi River system and was reduced during low-water years. Growth of white bass (Morone chrysops), which do not rely heavily on the littoral zone, did not differ significantly between the extreme-flood and low-water years. Patterns of growth of black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus), which have intermediate dependence on the moving littoral zone, were somewhat ambiguous. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the FPC applies, at least under certain conditions, to this temperate river system. Our results can also provide an important basis from which to assess some costs and benefits of water level management strategies in large regulated temperate rivers. Selon le concept des pousses de crue (PC), les inondations annuelles constituent la principale force  l'origine de la productivit et des interactions biotiques dans les systmes cours d'eau - plaine inondable. La croissance somatique est l'une des composantes de la production et nous avons formul l'hypothse que si le concept de la PC s'appliquait, la croissance des poissons qui utilisent la zone littorale changeante devait diffrer d'une anne  l'autre en fonction du rgime des crues tandis que celle des autres poissons ne devrait pas prsenter une telle raction. La croissance de l'achigan  grande bouche, Micropterus salmoides, et du crapet arlequin Lepomis macrochirus, qui exploitent les ressources du littoral, a t plus importante au cours d'une anne o la crue de saison chaude du haut Mississipi a t plus importante que la normale tandis qu'elle a t rduite pendant les annes de faible tiage. La croissance du bar blanc Morone chrysops, qui n'utilise pas beaucoup la zone littorale, ne prsentait pas de diffrence significative entre les annes o la crue ou l'tiage avaient t extrmes. L'allure de la croissance de la marigane noire, Pomoxis nigromaculatus, dont la dpendance envers la zone littorale changeante est intermdiaire, n'tait pas nette. Ces rsultats corroborent l'hypothse des effets du concept des pousses de crue, du moins dans certaines conditions, dans ce bassin de zone tempre. Nos rsultats pourraient s'avrer trs utiles pour l'valuation de certains cots et avantages des stratgies de gestion des niveaux de l'eau dans les importants cours d'eau de zone tempre faisant l'objet d'une rgularisation.

            "abstractNote": "BACKGROUND: Salt marshes lie between many human communities and the coast and have been presumed to protect these communities from coastal hazards by providing important ecosystem services. However, previous characterizations of these ecosystem services have typically been based on a small number of historical studies, and the consistency and extent to which marshes provide these services has not been investigated. Here, we review the current evidence for the specific processes of wave attenuation, shoreline stabilization and floodwater attenuation to determine if and under what conditions salt marshes offer these coastal protection services. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We conducted a thorough search and synthesis of the literature with reference to these processes. Seventy-five publications met our selection criteria, and we conducted meta-analyses for publications with sufficient data available for quantitative analysis. We found that combined across all studies (n=7), salt marsh vegetation had a significant positive effect on wave attenuation as measured by reductions in wave height per unit distance across marsh vegetation. Salt marsh vegetation also had a significant positive effect on shoreline stabilization as measured by accretion, lateral erosion reduction, and marsh surface elevation change (n=30). Salt marsh characteristics that were positively correlated to both wave attenuation and shoreline stabilization were vegetation density, biomass production, and marsh size. Although we could not find studies quantitatively evaluating floodwater attenuation within salt marshes, there are several studies noting the negative effects of wetland alteration on water quantity regulation within coastal areas. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Our results show that salt marshes have value for coastal hazard mitigation and climate change adaptation. Because we do not yet fully understand the magnitude of this value, we propose that decision makers employ natural systems to maximize the benefits and ecosystem services provided by salt marshes and exercise caution when making decisions that erode these services.",

The flood pulse concept serves as a base from which to study the processes acting in such a system. However, when the flood pulse is regulated and there is a need to re-establish the hydrography at close to natural conditions, the best way to achieve this is via ecohydrology, a newly emerging paradigm. In this paper, we use principles of ecohydrology to evaluate the effect of water quantity on the limnology, biota and fishery of the upper Paraná River systems, where a UNESCO demonstration site on ecohydrology is located. In addition, we argue that dam operation can be crucial for restoring the hydrography of the Paraná River to near natural conditions. The data used were collected between 1986 and 2006 in several habitats of the floodplain. The limnology, biota (periphyton, phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, fish, macrophytes and riparian vegetation) and fishery (ecosystems services) were all influenced by the alteration in the hydrography prompted by the functioning of the dams located upstream from the demonstration site area. Moreover, the observed deterioration of the water quality due to the presence of toxic cyanobacteria is another strong argument for adjusting the dam's operation to re-establish the timing of the floods to match critical periods of the biota in order to restore ecosystem biodiversity and services.",

            "abstractNote": "Coastal saltmarsh ecosystems occupy only a small percentage of Earth's land surface, yet contribute a wide range of ecosystem services that have significant global economic and societal value. These environments currently face significant challenges associated with climate change, sea level rise, development and water quality deterioration and are consequently the focus of a range of management schemes. Increasingly, soft engineering techniques such as managed realignment (MR) are being employed to restore and recreate these environments, driven primarily by the need for habitat (re)creation and sustainable coastal flood defence. Such restoration schemes also have the potential to provide additional ecosystem services including climate regulation and waste processing. However, these sites have frequently been physically impacted by their previous land use and there is a lack of understanding of how this 'disturbance' impacts the delivery of ecosystem services or of the complex linkages between ecological, physical and biogeochemical processes in restored systems. Through the exploration of current data this paper determines that hydrological, geomorphological and hydrodynamic functioning of restored sites may be significantly impaired with respects to natural 'undisturbed' systems and that links between morphology, sediment structure, hydrology and solute transfer are poorly understood. This has consequences for the delivery of seeds, the provision of abiotic conditions suitable for plant growth, the development of microhabitats and the cycling of nutrients/contaminants and may impact the delivery of ecosystem services including biodiversity, climate regulation and waste processing. This calls for a change in our approach to research in these environments with a need for integrated, interdisciplinary studies over a range of spatial and temporal scales incorporating both intensive and extensive research design.",

Publications indexed by the Institute of Science Information (ISI) Web of Science (WoS) from 1980 to October 2009 were analysed. Word combinations relevant to peatland ecosystem services in the title, keywords and abstract were used. We followed the division of ecosystem services into four categories: supporting, regulating, provisioning and cultural, as provided by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005). The analysis indicated that the concept of ecosystem services is not referred to explicitly in ISI WoS studies on peatland restoration. The interpretation of the content identified using search phrases related to various beneficial functions of peatlands showed that they mainly include information on regulating and supporting ecosystem services critical to sustaining vital ecosystem functions that deliver benefits to people. There are only a few articles addressing provisioning and cultural ecosystem services. One of the key issues concerning the effect of peatland restoration in the provisioning of ecosystem services is the balance of greenhouse gases and their role in global climate regulation.",

Net primary production is used as a proxy for ecosystem services and, along with capital and labor, is used to estimate a Cobb Douglas production function from an international panel. A positive output elasticity for net primary production probably measures both marketed and nonmarketed contributions of ecosystems services. The production function is used to calculate the marginal product of net primary production, which is the shadow price for ecosystem services. The shadow price generally is greatest for developed nations, which have larger technical scalars and use less net primary production per unit output. The rate of technical substitution indicates that the quantity of capital needed to replace a unit of net primary production tends to increase with economic development, and this rate of replacement may ultimately constrain economic growth.</p>",

            "note": "<p>The soil environment is likely the most complex biological community. Soil organisms are extremely diverse and contribute to a wide range of ecosystem services that are essential to the sustainable function of natural and managed ecosystems. The soil organism community can have direct and indirect impacts on land productivity. Direct impacts are those where specific organisms affect crop yield immediately. Indirect effects include those provided by soil organisms participating in carbon and nutrient cycles, soil structure modification and food web interactions that generate ecosystem services that ultimately affect productivity. Recognizing the great biological and functional diversity in the soil and the complexity of ecological interactions it becomes necessary to focus in this paper on soil biota that have a strong linkage to functions which underpin [`]soil based' ecosystem services. Selected organisms from different functional groups (i.e. microsymbionts, decomposers, elemental transformers, soil ecosystem engineers, soil-borne pest and diseases, and microregulators) are used to illustrate the linkages of soil biota and ecosystem services essential to life on earth as well as with those associated with the provision of goods and the regulation of ecosystem processes. These services are not only essential to ecosystem function but also a critical resource for the sustainable management of agricultural ecosystems. Research opportunities and gaps related to methodological, experimental and conceptual approaches that may be helpful to address the challenge of linking soil biodiversity and function to the provision of ecosystem services and land productivity are discussed. These include: 1) integration of spatial variability research in soil ecology and a focus on [`]hot spots' of biological activity, 2) using a selective functional group approach to study soil biota and function, 3) combining new and existing methodological approaches that link selected soil organisms, the temporal and spatial dynamics of their function, and their contribution to the provision of selected [`]soil based' ecosystem services, 4) using understanding about hierarchical relationships to manage soil biota and function in cropping systems, 5) using local knowledge about plants as indicators of soil quality, remote sensing and GIS technologies, and plant-soil biota interactions to help understand the impacts of soil biota at landscape scale, and 6) developing land quality monitoring systems that inform land users about their land's ecosystem service performance, improve capacities to predict and adapt to environmental changes, and support policy and decision-making.</p>",

            "note": "<p>Agricultural landscapes can provide many valuable ecosystem services, but many are externalities from the perspective of farmers and so tend to be under-produced. This paper examines an effort to make direct payments for ecosystem services (PES) in an agricultural landscape. The Regional Integrated Silvopastoral Ecosystem Management Project is piloting the use of PES to induce adoption of silvopastoral practices in the Matiguás-Río Blanco area in Nicaragua. Silvopastoral practices could substantially improve service provision while retaining agricultural production, but they have found only limited acceptance among farmers. The Silvopastoral Project seeks to increase their adoption by paying farmers for the expected increase in biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration services that these practices would provide. The Project developed an [`]environmental services index' (ESI) and pays participants for net increases in ESI points. Although the Silvopastoral Project is still underway, it already appears to have succeeded in inducing farmers to increase substantially the use of practices that generate higher levels of ecosystem services. In the project's first two years, over 24% of the total area experienced some form of land use change. The area of degraded pasture fell by two thirds, while pastures with high tree density increased substantially, as did fodder banks and live fences. On-going monitoring indicates that these land use changes are in fact generating the desired services. Questions remain about the long-term sustainability of the approach, however. To ensure sustainability, long-term payments are likely to be needed, raising the question of how they will be financed. Payments by water users and by carbon buyers provide a partial answer to this challenge, but still leave many gaps.</p>",

Agricultural practices have environmental impacts that affect a wide range of ecosystem services, including water quality, pollination, nutrient cycling, soil retention, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. In turn, ecosystem services affect agricultural productivity. Understanding the contribution of various agricultural practices to the range of ecosystem services would help inform choices about the most beneficial agricultural practices. To accomplish this, however, we must overcome a big challenge in measuring the impact of alternative agricultural practices on ecosystem services and of ecosystem services on agricultural production. A framework is presented in which such indicators can be interpreted as well as the criteria for selection of indicators. The relationship between agricultural practices and land-use change and erosion impact on chemical use is also discussed. Together these ideas form the basis for identifying useful indicators for quantifying the costs and benefits of agricultural systems for the range of ecosystem services interrelated to agriculture.</p>",

            "note": "<p>Agricultural landscapes hold tremendous potential for producing a diverse stream of ecosystem services. Yet, because the spatial configuration of particular ecosystems is critical to the supply of many services, realizing this potential requires that farms be managed in a coordinated way across landscapes rather than as independent units. Under existing incentive programs, this level of coordination is typically neither required nor encouraged. Here we explore how to achieve such coordination from an institutional perspective using voluntary incentives rather than regulation. We focus on three services operating at contrasting scales, from local to global: pollination, hydrologic services, and carbon sequestration. First, we briefly illustrate how agricultural practices can diminish or enhance their provision. Next, we show how all three services require coordinated, landscape-scale management because provision depends upon particular spatial configurations, of which we provide several stylized examples. Finally, based on these stylized configurations, we evaluate the relative merits of three incentive designs-the \"cooperation bonus,\" the \"entrepreneur,\" and the \"ecosystem service district\"-to promote cross-farm cooperation to enhance service provision. All three incentive systems rely on rational self-interest, have cooperative configurations to promote ecosystem services across different scales, use tiered reward systems, and have a major voluntary element. They are distinct in certain key features. The cooperation bonus system rewards conservation even without cooperation but adds a bonus for cooperation. In the entrepreneur incentive, all tiers of reward are contingent upon cooperation. The ecosystem service district scheme is only partially voluntary and forces cooperation of all landowners once the district is formed. Our analysis of these heuristic alternatives integrates biophysical, economic, and institutional factors with the aim of addressing the suite of institutional barriers for landscape-scale management.</p>",

The results from a random parameter logit model reveal that, on average, individuals would annually pay an average of 11.79 euros for the forests to sequester 68,000 tones of CO2, 0.12 euros for delaying the loss of land productivity for ten years, and 6.33 euros from picnic users for being allowed to picnic in the new forests. On the other hand, individuals would experience a loss in welfare equivalent to - 9.67 euros if four-wheel driving is allowed in the new forests. Finally, being allowed to pick mushrooms in the new forests is valued at an average of 12.82 euros by those who live in rural areas.</p>",
