PhD position on cultural ecosystem services and nature-based solutions in mountain regions

December 19, 2024 by Uta Schirpke Categories: News, Vacancies

The Institute for Alpine Environment at Eurac Research (Bozen/Bolzano, Italy) seeks a highly motivated candidate with expertise in the field of mountain ecology, ecosystem services, and/or nature-based solutions. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in interacting with stakeholders, assessing cultural ecosystem services, and applying innovative approaches to evaluate trade-offs and synergies related to the implementation of different scenarios of nature-based solutions in Alpine ecosystems.
The position is funded within the 3-year Biodiversa+ project EVESNAT (Nature-based Solutions to meet EU Nature Restoration Targets: Evaluating synergies and trade-offs across Ecosystem Services for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and resilience and autonomy improvement) starting in 2025.

New paper: A transnational perspective of global and regional ecosystem service flows from and to mountain regions

May 8, 2019 by Uta Schirpke Categories: Member post, News, Publications

The spatial relationships of ecosystem services are complex and poorly understood due to spatial mismatches between areas of provision and the areas that benefit. In this study, we assess the spatial flows of six key ecosystem services from and to mountain regions at the regional and global level. We identify major directions of spatial flow and illustrate different types and transfer mechanisms with detailed examples focusing on the European Alps and surrounding lowlands.
