Scenarios of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services II (Biodiversity II 2017)
This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) was a follow up to the first Belmont Forum Scenarios of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services CRA and as a joint call between the Belmont Forum and BiodivERsA.
It sought proposals that would explicitly address a scenario dimension, taking into account the following definition of scenarios: Scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services are the outputs of the combination of scenarios of indirect drivers and direct drivers – such as land use change, invasive alien species, overexploitation, climate change or pollution – and models of impacts of these drivers on biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Proposals were invited to address the two following major (non-exclusive) priorities:
- Development and application of scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions.
- Consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in biodiversity scenarios.
Twenty one projects were selected:
