Ecosystem services and social perception
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) drain over half the world’s land surface and are common water bodies throughout Europe. Often ‘hotspots’ of regional biodiversity and pivotal for the functional integrity of river networks, many IRES are exploited to achieve growing human demands for water and other ecosystem services. However, suffering from negative perceptions and historically overlooked by researcher compared to perennial rivers and streams, IRES are degraded at alarming rates, and attempts to exclude them from legislations are growing. The main findings of this chapter can be summarized through the following points: 1) There is a variety of benefits that IRES provide to our societies, from the provision of materials such as water and timber, to iconic species, the regulation of biogeochemical cycles, and space for cultural manifestation and as a corridor for both wild and herded animals. 2) Drying and rewetting processes, timing and duration of different aquatic phases, have an effect on the biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, as well as on the provision of ecosystem services and on the social perception of them. 3) There are intrinsic and relational values associated to IRES that are not usually recognised, including sense of place, cultural identity, social cohesion or nature stewardship. 4) There is a long list of indicators that can be used to assess the provision of ecosystem services, and different techniques of monetary and non-monetary methods can be applied to assess their value. 5) Public participation is also necessary to understand the multiple values of IRES and to improve social perception. Participatory mapping, citizen science, and scenario planning are some of the methodologies can be employed.
