Mapping Land System Archetypes to Understand Drivers of Ecosystem Service Risks
Original language description
Land use is a key anthropogenic driver of global environmental change and ecosystem service risks. Unless major shifts in consumptive behaviors occur, land use and agricultural production will continue to intensify to meet future demands for food and other provisioning ecosystem services. One approach to better understand the drivers and impacts of land-use intensification is the identification of global, archetypical patterns of land systems. Most approaches have focused on broad-scale representations of dominant land cover and biophysical factors with limited consideration of land-use intensity and other underlying conditions that constitute complex social-ecological systems. In contrast, Land System Archetypes provide a more holistic representation of global land-use patterns based on the integration of a wide range of global datasets on land-use intensity, environmental conditions and socioeconomic indicators. Here we provide an overview of the concept and two examples that illustrate its use for identifying drivers of ES risks and potentials to increase resilience of particular regions.
