“…Here, we are specifically interested in ecosystem functions related to climate and the carbon cycle such as the capacity to take up carbon and the capacity to respond to climate change. Biosphere integrity builds on earlier concepts such as biological integrity (Karr, 1990), ecological integrity (Mora, 2017; Parrish et al , 2003) and ecosystem integrity (Dorren et al , 2004) by viewing this ‘integrity’ at the scale of the Earth system.…”

Non-technical abstractIndividual organisms on land and in the ocean sequester massive amounts of the carbon emitted into the atmosphere by humans. Yet the role of ecosystems as a whole in modulating this uptake of carbon is less clear. Here, we study several different mechanisms by which climate change and ecosystems could interact. We show that climate change could cause changes in ecosystems that reduce their capacity to take up carbon, further accelerating climate change. More research onand better governance ofinteractions between climate change and ecosystems is urgently required. Technical abstractIndividual responses of terrestrial and marine species to future climate change will affect the capacity of the land and ocean to store carbon. How system-level changes in the integrity of the biosphere interact with climate change is more uncertain. Here, we explore the consequences of different hypotheses on the interactions between the climate-carbon system and the integrity of the terrestrial and marine biospheres. We investigate mechanisms including impairment of terrestrial ecosystem functioning due to lagged ecosystem responses, permafrost thaw, terrestrial biodiversity loss and impacts of changes in marine biodiversity on the marine biological pump. To investigate climate-biosphere interactions involving complex concepts such as biosphere integrity, we designed and implemented conceptual representations of these climate-biosphere interactions in a stylized climate-carbon model. We find that all four classes of interactions amplify climate change, potentially contributing up to an additional 0.4°C warming across all representative concentration pathway scenarios by the year 2100 and potentially turning the terrestrial biosphere into a net carbon source, although uncertainties are large. The results of this preliminary quantitative study call for more research onand better integrated governance ofthe interactions between climate change and biosphere integrity, the two core 'planetary boundaries'. Social media summaryHealthy ecosystems are critical for combating climate change.

“…La vida silvestre y los procesos que dependen de estructuras tardías se espera incrementen su presencia, aunque su funcionalidad plena quizá no ocurra sino hasta el tercer paso de corta, suponiendo la acción de los mecanismos de perturbación y legados que describen Franklin et al (2002). En todo caso, a causa de MSP el bosque debe ir exhibiendo una mejor integridad ecológica en el sentido descrito por Mora (2017).…”

Se definen las características necesarias para el manejo forestal maderable visto como la gestión responsable de bienes raíces con intenciones patrimoniales, que aquí se designa como sistema patrimonial. El método silvícola peninsular (MSP) es uno de varios modos de recrear esta definición teórica del manejo forestal con fines patrimoniales. El estudio plantea que el MSP está diseñado para lograr niveles de capitalización del valor del predio superiores al común de los métodos de manejo forestal usados en México. Las cualidades del sistema patrimonial se ejemplifican a partir de un programa de manejo forestal autorizado con MSP para el ejido Kankabchen, Quintana Roo, México. Dichas cualidades se comparan, para fines de ilustración, con la forma de manejo previo. Si el manejo forestal actual fuese continuación del aprovechamiento maderable anterior no habría consideraciones económicas que vigilen el desempeño financiero, pero las proyecciones que resultan de los datos de remoción indican un deterioro del valor predial que, comparado con lo esperado de aplicar el sistema patrimonial, es una merma innecesaria del patrimonio del ejido. El ejemplo del ejido Kankabchen muestra que el sistema patrimonial es una forma responsable de gestión de los bienes raíces del propietario del bosque, a la vez que mejora su estructura y mantiene conformidad con la normatividad forestal mexicana.
