How ecosystem services are produced remains a critical research gap that must be addressed if services are to persist under on-going and future environmental change. Interest in this area is coalescing under the term ‘co-production’, which recognises that services are generated through interactions between social and ecological processes. Here we conduct a critical review of academic research into the co-production of ecosyste...

Fast-growing, stress-tolerating tree species belonging to the genera Acacia , Eucalyptus and Pinus have historically been introduced to many tropical and sub-tropical regions to support various economic and environment-regulating functions. While these non-native tree (NNT) species are often highly useful, many are simultaneously invasive, generating negative environmental impacts. Current knowledge regarding the impact...

Woodhead, A. 2021. Capturing change in ecosystem service delivery from coral reefs. Faculty of Science and Technology, Lancaster Environment Centre. Lancaster University. https://doi.org/10.17635/lancaster/thesis/1284

Ecosystems around the world are changing due to interacting local and global stressors. These changes are likely to affect ecosystem services - the benefits that ecosystems contribute to human wellbeing - but the complexity of social-ecological processes underpinning these services limits our understanding change. In this thesis, I examine changes in ecosystem services associated with climate-impacted tropical coral reefs and ...
