15 New insights and puzzles? 15

16 Ecosystem services are the outputs of ecosystem functioning that directly contribute to human well being. Biophysical structure or process (e.g. woodland habitat or net primary productivity ) Function (e.g. (e.g. slow slow passage passage of of water, water, or or biomass) Service Service (e.g. (e.g. flood flood protection, protection, or or harvestable harvestable products) products) Benefit Benefit (e.g. contribution to (e.g. contribution to aspects of well being aspects of well being such as health and such as health and safety) safety) Value Value (e.g. willingness to pay (e.g. willingness to pay for woodland for woodland protection or for more protection or for more woodland, or woodland, or harvestable products) harvestable products) 16

17 There is a pressing need to understand how these production systems work And how the outputs change in response to the pressures upon these systems and our management interventions But empirical, observational data are often lacking and or difficult to collect.. 17

18 These production systems cross disciplinary divides and require us to combine quantitative and qualitative information Moreover, they are socially constructed and depend fundamentally on how different groups (experts, decision makers, publics) construct the world They also should capture the uncertainty that exists in the insights we have about the way the world works 18

19 These are many modelling approaches but Bayesian Networks (BN) are a good way of constructing narratives and of combining different kinds of knowledge They can help build up this rich picture of the problem from the stakeholder/client perspective, by: Helping capture stakeholder's views of the world Modelling Service Providing Units (SPUs), etc. [The production cascade] By helping constructing scenarios and identifying values 19

20 Software: NETICA Many other systems available HUGIN BayesBuider... 2

21 Cain (21) defines a BN as a graphical tool for building decision support systems. Cain (21) argues that they are mainly used to help make decisions under uncertain conditions. Basically they are a way of structuring our beliefs about the way systems work in terms of a set of relationships that have probabilities associated with them. 21

25 Peatlands are the single largest carbon reserve in the UK (3 billion tonnes of carbon) The Peak District moorlands store between 6 and 2 million tonnes of carbon (Moors for the Future, 27) 25

26 The restoration and enhancement of UK peatlands could save around 4, tonnes carbon a year. This is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from 1.1 billion car miles or 84, family sized cars per year (Moors for the Future, 27) Legend SSSI Condition (Bog) CONDITION DESTROYED FAVOURABLE UNFAVOURABLE DECLINING UNFAVOURABLE NO CHANGE UNFAVOURABLE RECOVERING 26

35 We use evidence and beliefs to set up the CPTs. Cain (21) suggests the following hierarchy: Information Type 1: Raw data collected by direct measurement (e.g. groundwater depth measured by piezometer, population measured by census, income measured by accounting). Information Type 2: Raw data collected through stakeholder elicitation (e.g. stakeholder perceptions of groundwater depth, population and income). Information Type 3: Output from process-based models calibrated using raw data collected by direct measurement. Information Type 4: Academic expert opinion, based on theoretical calculation or best judgement. Type 1 is is to to be be preferred, then then type type 2, 2, 3 and and Often we we only only have have opinion! But But opinions and and values count 35

36 They allow us to combine different sorts of data into a single meta model. They allow us to express scenarios systematically and understand the implications of our different assumptions 36

Σ Pressures Function (e.g. (e.g. slow slow passage passage of of water, water, or or biomass) Service Service (e.g. (e.g. flood flood protection, protection, or or harvestable harvestable products) products) Marginal values How sensitive are benefit outputs to changes in ecosystem function? Benefit Benefit (e.g. contribution to (e.g. contribution to aspects of well being aspects of well being Value such as health and Value such as health and (e.g. willingness to pay safety) (e.g. willingness to pay safety) for woodland for woodland protection or for more protection or for more woodland, or woodland, or harvestable products) harvestable products) (after Haines Young and Potschin, 21) 41

42 They can help us describe how we believe the world is structured.. They allow us to combine different sorts of data They allow us to express scenarios systematically They help us bring evidence into the decision making arena, and express the uncertainties we have about it They are not dynamic models. They do no include feedback Challenges: How do we make them spatially explicit? 42
