Worldwide network to enhance the science, policy and practice of ecosystem services for conservation and sustainable development
On Tuesday session B1b: Operationalizing ES in support of ecosystem-based marine spatial planning took place at the ESP European Conference in San Sebastian. As a result, the session organisers decided to submit a Special Issue in Ocean and Coastal Management Journal.
If you are interested in the topic of connecting ecosystem services and marine spatial planning, you are more than welcome to send your papers to Daniel Depellegrin at [email protected].
The journal Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050, IF 2.075) is currently running a Special Issue entitled “Application of the Ecosystem Service Concept in Social–Ecological Systems—from Theory to Practice”. Prof. Dr. Georg Leitinger, Dr. Uta Schirpke and Dr. Johannes Rüdisser (University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria), are serving as Guest Editors for this issue. We sincerely invite you to make an excellent contribution, based on your expertise.

In this new study, Alejandra Morán-Ordóñez, José V. Roces-Díaz, Lluís Brotons (members of the ESP Mediterranean working group) and colleagues, reviewed the available literature on the use of ecological models to predict global change environmental impacts, to answer the following questions: (1) what are the modelling approaches most commonly used to predict the condition and trends of biodiversity and ecosystem services under future scenarios of global change? (2) what are the drivers of change considered in future scenarios and at what scales? (3) what are the biodiversity/nature and ecosystem services indicators most commonly evaluated?
