SCALES - Securing the Conservation of biodiversity across Administrative Levels and spatial, temporal, and Ecological Scales
WP 2.5: Conservation and management of ecosystem functions at multiple spatial scales
Objectives:
• To review the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on biotic interactions (pollination, seed dispersal, parasitism, predation) and ecosystem functions at different spatial scales
• To understand the impact of policy-driven local and landscape-wide management schemes on biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning and the contribution of conservation areas to ecosystem services
• To compile interaction webs along gradients of habitat fragmentation and land use intensification
• To assess the functional resilience and biological thresholds of biodiversity loss at multiple spatial and temporal scales
