Joint Scottish Agricultural College (SAC) and Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Biennial Conference
3 to 4 April 2012
What was the event?
Integrated management of our agricultural and forestry landscapes is essential to the delivery of multiple ecosystem services. However, current understanding of the linkages between different ecosystems and the services they provide is incomplete. The management implemented therefore needs to be flexible to adapt to these uncertainties. The need for implementation at the landscape scale also means integrating management practices across different land-managers.
This conference presented not only the best possible scientific understanding of the complexities associated with the delivery of multiple ecosystem services but also provided a forum to raise and discuss what still needs to be done to have an ecosystem approach recognised and supported by land managers, researchers and policy makers.
