    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Urban; ecosystem services; valuation; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : In an ever more urban world, the role of green spaces in cities is increasingly highlighted for their capacity to provide ecosystem services for human well-being. Yet, the value of urban green spaces is still widely overlooked in urban policy and planning. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Recalling Urban Nature : Linking City People to Ecosystem Services

    Författare :Stephan Barthel; Carl Folke; Thomas Elmqvist; Johan Colding; Per Olsson; Susanne Stoll-Kleemann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecosystem service; functional group; resilience; social-ecological system; urban; institution; property right; knowledge; sense-of-place; social-ecological memory; adaptive governance; scale-crossing broker; ecosystem management; Biology; Biologi; Natural Resources Management; naturresurshushållning;

    Sammanfattning : Societal development is dependent on the generation of ecosystem services (ES) to sustain it; however, many ES are degrading. This thesis investigates how social-ecological features behind practices of actor groups shape the generation of ES. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Reconnecting with nature through concepts : On the construction of values in the ecosystem services paradigm

    Författare :Sanna Stålhammar; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []

    Sammanfattning : The alarming rates of extinction and degrading ecosystems call for new means of understanding and accounting for how people depend on nature. Ecosystem services (ES) is a contested but widely applied concept aiming to connect ecosystem functions to human wellbeing and to assess and account for how nature matters in decision-making.

  5. 4. Linking functional traits and cultural ecosystem services in urban areas through human preferences

    Författare :Julie Goodness; Erik Andersson; Thomas Elmqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Functional traits; ecosystem services; cultural ecosystem services; urban; cities; human perception; preferences; ecosystem management; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

    Sammanfattning : Urban areas are now the daily lived experience for the majority of the world’s people, and it is therefore important to explore what kind of ecological communities and corresponding ecosystem functions and services are being generated in these environments. Urban areas are shaped by a variety of factors, but arguably one of the most influential is that of people, in terms of how their preferences and active selective choices for biota play out in the landscape.

  7. 5. Urban shades of green : Current patterns and future prospects of nature conservation in urban landscapes

    Författare :Sara Borgström; Regina Lindborg; Sara Cousins; Thomas Elmqvist; Christer Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :urbanisation; nature conservation; urban planning; urban systems; nature reserves; Sweden; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Sammanfattning : Urban nature provides local ecosystem services such as absorption of air pollutants, reduction of noise, and provision of places for recreation, and is therefore crucial to urban sustainable development. Nature conservation in cities is also part of the global effort to halt biodiversity decline. LÄS MER
