Policy makers and the general public have joined scientists in recognizing that human wellbeing depends on sustaining the health and vigor of the earth's ecosystems. This NSF award provides support for 10 ecologists, social scientists and landscape planners selected from across the US to participate with European colleagues in a 5-day workshop devoted to advancing scientific understanding of cultural ecosystems services, including aesthetic and recreational experiences, cultural heritage, and sense of place. Cultural services are highly valued in their own right by people in the US, Europe and throughout the world, with the particular origins, compositions and expressions of appreciation being nuanced by regional environmental and cultural histories and contexts. The appreciation of cultural services also plays a central role in determining peoples' dispositions toward policies aimed at protecting ecosystems and ecological processes that provide essential, but often less intuitively appreciated services, especially regulatory and support services. The principal goals of the workshop are to assess and document the state of science for cultural ecosystems services, with specific attention to similarities and differences between US and European contexts; to develop and promote an agenda for accomplishing needed research and education; to better integrate cultural services into the broader ecosystems services science and policy framework; and to identify and facilitate opportunities to leverage public support for other essential but less readily appreciated ecosystems and services. The workshop will bring together bio-physical and social science perspectives from the US, where natural ecosystems and landscape values have typically been emphasized, and Europe, where there has been greater focus on modified ecosystems and their associated cultural heritage values. Key products from the workshop include specific proposals for collaborative US and European interdisciplinary research projects to address identified needs. The PI and his counterpart Dr. Andreas Muhar of the BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna are coordinating the workshop together and aim to hold the meeting at the WasserKluster Lunz research station in Lunz, Austria in November 2009.

政策制定者和公众与科学家一起认识到，人类福祉取决于维持地球生态系统的健康和活力。 该 NSF 奖项为从美国各地选出的 10 名生态学家、社会科学家和景观规划师提供支持，与欧洲同事一起参加为期 5 天的研讨会，致力于推进对文化生态系统服务的科学理解，包括审美和娱乐体验、文化遗产和地方感。 文化服务本身受到美国、欧洲和世界各地人民的高度重视，其特定的起源、构成和欣赏表达方式因地区环境和文化历史和背景而有细微差别。 对文化服务的欣赏在决定人们对旨在保护生态系统和生态过程的政策的态度方面也发挥着核心作用，这些政策提供了基本但往往不太直观地欣赏的服务，特别是监管和支持服务。 研讨会的主要目标是评估和记录文化生态系统服务的科学状况，特别关注美国和欧洲背景之间的异同；制定和促进完成所需研究和教育的议程；更好地将文化服务纳入更广泛的生态系统服务科学和政策框架；确定并促进利用公众支持其他重要但不太容易理解的生态系统和服务的机会。 该研讨会将汇集来自美国和欧洲的生物物理和社会科学观点，美国通常强调自然生态系统和景观价值，而欧洲则更加关注改良生态系统及其相关文化遗产价值。 研讨会的主要产品包括针对美国和欧洲跨学科合作研究项目的具体建议，以满足已确定的需求。 首席研究员和维也纳 BOKU 自然资源与应用生命科学大学的 Andreas Muhar 博士正在共同协调研讨会，并计划于 2009 年 11 月在奥地利伦茨的 WasserKluster Lunz 研究站举行会议。
