Resumen:
The crucial role of biodiversity in the links between ecosystems
and societies has been repeatedly highlighted both as source of
wellbeing and as a target of human actions, but not all aspects of
biodiversity are equally important to different ecosystem services.
Similarly, different social actors have different perceptions of and
access to ecosystem services, and therefore, they have different
wants and capacities to select directly or indirectly for particular
biodiversity and ecosystem characteristics. Their choices feed
back onto the ecosystem services provided to all parties involved
and in turn, affect future decisions. Despite this recognition, the
research communities addressing biodiversity, ecosystem services,
and human outcomes have yet to develop frameworks that
adequately treat the multiple dimensions and interactions in the
relationship. Here, we present an interdisciplinary framework for
the analysis of relationships between functional diversity, ecosystem
services, and human actions that is applicable to specific social
environmental systems at local scales. We connect the mechanistic
understanding of the ecological role of diversity with its social
relevance: ecosystem services. The framework permits connections
between functional diversity components and priorities of social
actors using land use decisions and ecosystem services as the main
links between these ecological and social components. We propose
a matrix-based method that provides a transparent and flexible
platform for quantifying and integrating social and ecological information
and negotiating potentially conflicting land uses among
multiple social actors. We illustrate the applicability of our framework
by way of land use examples from temperate to subtropical
South America, an area of rapid social and ecological change.fic social
