The Ecosystem Service Partnership is organizing an international workshop at Salzau Castle to provide methodological, strategic and institutional solutions for the future development and application of the ecosystem service approach. The workshop topics are focused on four basic subjects, that are:
o Integrated quantification, modeling, and valuing of ecosystem services: How can we measure and evaluate ecosystem services? How can we link ecosystem functions, services and benefits? How can ecosystem services be explicitly linked to human well-being?
o Accounting for ecosystem services at the landscape level: How can the ecosystem service approach be applied in landscape analysis, landscape planning and landscape management?
o Adaptive management of ecosystem services: Which supporting tools have to be developed to enhance the applicability of the ecosystem service approach in adaptive management? How can the approach be implemented in management strategies and institutions?
o Social and economic trade-offs: How can ecosystem services be evaluated from social and economic points-of-view? Which instruments should be developed to foster these evaluation strategies? Your contribution is highly appreciated
In a draft concept paper, the workshop topics and some organizational issues are proposed, and – before all – important contributions are requested. This paper can be requested with the organizers (see below). It is asking interested scientists and policy makers for background papers, commented hypotheses, articles or contributions during the workshop. The schedule should be understood as an interim stage of preparation, therefore also critical comments and proposals for improvement are most welcome. You are encouraged to contact the organizers of the ESP Workshop for the draft workshop paper, topic suggestions, background papers and articles, more information, the draft program and contributions during the workshop.
