项目摘要

A Canadian future of shared health, prosperity, and resilience will depend on our ability to manage ecosystemsand all the benefits they provide for human well-being now and in the future. Indeed, the central challenge ofour lifetime is to meet our needs for food, energy, and other critical ecosystem services now withoutundermining the ability to provide these services into the future, even as we face looming global environmentalchallenges. Our network of researchers will monitor and model ecosystem services - the benefits people obtainfrom nature - in a series of working landscapes across Canada. Working landscapes - land actively used forproduction of resources such as food, fish, and forest products - are of particular importance for theircontributions to Canadians' wellbeing. Historically, the focus in working landscapes has been on the cheap,reliable, and efficient production of individual ES such as food, energy, or timber. Studies of the otherecosystems services provided by these landscapes, including carbon storage, flood regulation, recreation,spiritual enhancement, have lagged behind. Our network will measure a broad variety of ecosystem services ina set of six working landscapes across Canada, with the goal of scaling up the understanding we gain throughthese six landscape studies to deliver an ES dashboard for Canada that can be used to measure our progresstowards sustainability and resilience of working landscapes for all Canadians.

加拿大共享健康、繁荣和复原力的未来将取决于我们管理生态系统的能力以及它们为现在和未来人类福祉提供的所有好处。事实上，我们一生的核心挑战是满足我们现在对粮食、能源和其他关键生态系统服务的需求，同时又不损害未来提供这些服务的能力，即使我们面临迫在眉睫的全球环境挑战。我们的研究人员网络将在加拿大各地的一系列工作景观中监测和模拟生态系统服务——人们从大自然中获得的好处。工作景观——积极用于生产食品、鱼类和林产品等资源的土地——对于为加拿大人的福祉做出贡献尤其重要。从历史上看，工作景观的重点一直是廉价、可靠和高效地生产单个 ES，如食品、能源或木材。对这些景观提供的其他生态系统服务的研究，包括碳储存、洪水调节、娱乐、精神增强，已经滞后。我们的网络将衡量加拿大六个工作景观中的各种生态系统服务，目标是扩大我们通过这六个景观研究获得的理解，为加拿大提供一个 ES 仪表板，可用于衡量我们在可持续发展和可持续发展方面的进展。所有加拿大人工作环境的弹性。
