Part A: Scene Setting 1 Ecosystem Services in Farmland and Cities Harpinder Sandhti and Steve Wratten Abstract Introduction What are ecosystem services? Ecosystem functions, goods and services The ES framework Engineered systems Agricultural systems Urban systems ES and their interactions in engineered systems 2 Ecological Processes, Functions and Ecosystem Services: Inextricable Linkages between Wetlands and Agricultural Systems Onil Banerjee, Neville D. Grossman and Rudolf S. de Groot Abstract Introduction Linking ecosystem function with ecosystem service Wetlands Wetland functions Wetland-agricultural systems interactions Some research challenges Understanding complexity and resilience Trade-offs Key Ideas and Concepts from Economics for Understanding the Roles and Value of Ecosystem Services Pamela Kaval and Ramesh Baskaran Abstract How can ecosystem services be valued? Ecosystem service valuation methodologies Revealed preference methods Stated preference methods Other methods How ecosystem services have been measured in the past Ecosystem service valuation study recommendations Conclusions Part B: Ecosystem Services in Three Settings 4 Viticulture can be Modified to Provide Multiple Ecosystem Services Sofia Orre-Gordon, Marco Jacometti, Jean Tompkins and Steve Wratten Abstract Introduction Enhancing CBC in vineyards Leafrollers and Botrytis cinerea in the vineyards Habitat modification to enhance naturally occurring pest control Floral resource supplementation as a form of habitat modification Mulch application as a form of habitat modification Combining two forms of habitat modification The deployment of herbivore-induced plant volatiles as a form of habitat modification Habitat modification may provide further ecosystem services The future / 5 Aquaculture and Ecosystem Services: Reframing the Environmental and Social Debate Corinne Baulcomb Abstract Introduction Aquaculture and the environment A typology of aquaculture operations and the link to ecosystem services Inland production systems Overview Case study 1: hypothetical integrated agriculture-aquaculture carp polyculture Case study 2: hypothetical inland marine shrimp cultivation Marine and coastal-based production systems Overview Case study 3: hypothetic nearshore, intensive and raft-based shellfish cultivation Case study 4: hypothetical 'best-case' offshore aquaculture cultivation The value of a complementary life-cycle approach Conclusion 6 Urban Landscapes and Ecosystem Services Jiirgen Breuste, Dagmar Haase and Thomas Elmqvist Abstract Growing urban landscapes The process of urbanization Urbanization, biodiversity and ecosystems Urbanization and management of ecosystems - challenges Urban ecosystem services What are urban ecosystem services? Classification of UES Land use - basic information on human influence on ecosystem services Urban green - carrier of UES Types of urban green space Recreation Climate regulation Biodiversity Carbon mitigation Rapid growth of soil sealing - destruction of UES and its avoidance Climate change - challenges for UES Increase in temperature Precipitation Sea level rise UES in urban landscape planning Part C: Measuring and Monitoring Ecosystem Services at Multiple Levels 7 Scale-dependent Ecosystem Service Yangjian Zhang, Clans Holzapfel and Xiaoyong Yuan Abstract Introduction Scale Ecosystem service is scale dependent The ecosystem beneficiary is scale dependent Ecosystem service measurement is scale dependent Ecosystem service management decision making is scale dependent Ecosystem service types Ecosystem service studies need to consider scale Case studies Liberty State Park Interior . Qinghai-Tibet plateau Conclusions 8 Experimental Assessment of Ecosystem Services in Agriculture Harpinder Sandhn, John Porter and Steve Wratten Abstract Introduction ES in agroecosystems Provisioning goods and services ■- Supporting services Regulating services Cultural services Field-scale assessment of ES The combined food and energy system New Zealand arable farmland Scenarios of production and ES in agroecosystems The ethnocentric systems The technocentric systems The ecocentric systems The ecotechnocentric systems The sustaincentric systems Conclusions Part D: Designing Ecological Systems to Deliver Ecosystem Services 9 Towards Multifunctional Agricultural Landscapes for the Upper Midwest Region of the USA Nicholas Jordan and Keith Douglass Warner Abstract Introduction Multifunctional agroecosystems Re-designed agricultural landscapes for the Upper Midwest Moving forward on design and implementation of multifunctional landscapes for the Upper Midwest Theory of change: a social-ecological system model for increasing multifunctionality of agricultural landscapes Focal level: enterprise development via 'virtuous circles' Subsystem level: collaborative social learning for multifunctional agriculture Supersystem level: re-visioning the social metabolism of American agriculture Applying the theory of change: the Koda Energy fuelshed project Enterprise development Agroecological partnership Re-shaping public opinion and policy Conclusions 10 Supply Chain Management and the Delivery of Ecosystems Services in Manufacturing Mary Haropoidoti, Cliue Snialhnan and Jack Radford Abstract Towards the sustainable economic production of goods and services? Ecological economics and supply chain management: a review and synthesis Conventional economic and ecologically economic production Conventional SCM: economic efficiency through distribution network configuration and strategy Green SCM: the economic inefficiency of waste Sustainable SCM: connecting social, economic and ecological performance Enabling ecological economics: SSCM A case in point: 'what do we do with it now?' WYM background The economic production of wool yarn Goods Wastes Ecological services and amenities Natural capital Human capital Social capital Manufactured capital Community and individual well-being Discussion Conclusion 11 Market-based Instruments and Ecosystem Services: Opportunity and Experience to Date Stuart M. Whitten and Anthea Coggan Abstract Introduction Market-based instruments: definition and preconditions Types of MBIs Examples of MBIs for ecosystem services Price-based MBIs Quantity-based MBIs Market friction MBIs The brave new world of ecosystem markets Designing effective MBIs • Where to next in the brave new world of markets for ecosystem services?
