“…In worst‐case conditions in the Colorado basin (i.e., the Policy scenario in 2050), irrigated cropland still only represents on the order of 3%–5% of total land area. While seemingly small, this transition of terrestrial ecosystem types has important ecosystem services implications (Rincón‐Ruiz et al., 2019; Zak et al., 2008). The transition primarily consists of conversion from pasture to other natural land (i.e., grassland and shrubland).…”

The Implications of Global Change for the Co‐Evolution of Argentina's Integrated Energy‐Water‐Land Systems

et al. 2021

This study seeks to understand how Argentina's energy, water, and land (EWL) systems will coevolve under a representative array of human and earth system influences, including socioeconomic change, climate change, and climate policy. To capture Argentina's sub-national EWL dynamics in the context of global change, we couple the Global Change Analysis Model with a suite of consistent, gridded sectoral downscaling models to explore multiple stakeholder-engaged scenarios. Across scenarios, Argentina has the economic opportunity to use its vast land resources to satisfy growing domestic and international demand for crops, such as oil (e.g., soy) and biomass. The human (rather than earth) system produces the most dominant changes in mid-century EWL resource use. A Reference scenario characterized by modest socioeconomic growth projects a 40% increase in Argentina's agricultural production by 2050 (relative to 2020) by using 50,000 km 2 of additional cropland and 40% more water. A Climate Policy scenario designed to achieve net-zero carbon emissions globally shortly after mid-century projects that Argentina could use 100,000 km 2 of additional land (and 65% more water) to grow biomass and other crops. The burden of navigating these national opportunities and challenges could fall disproportionately on a subset of Argentina's river basins. The Colorado and Negro basins could experience moderate-to-severe water scarcity as they simultaneously navigate substantial irrigated crop demand growth and climate-induced declines in natural water availability. Argentina serves as a generalizable testbed to demonstrate that multi-scale EWL planning challenges can be identified and managed more effectively via integrated analysis of coupled human-earth systems.

“…En términos generales, los análisis de SE en Colombia se han enfocado en la valoración integral (Rincón-Ruiz et al, 2019a), en la identificación de trade-offs respecto a actividades económicas (Rincón-Ruiz et al, 2019b) y en la modelación en escenarios de cambio climático (Clerici et al, 2019). A pesar de la alta contribución que han proporcionado dichas investigaciones, todavía es necesario profundizar en aspectos como la zonificación, la cual es fundamental en la identificación de relaciones entre los SE y la estrategia espacial de manejo del paisaje (Liu et al, 2019;de Groot et al, 2010).…”

Análisis participativo de servicios ecosistémicos en un área protegida del bosque seco tropical (bs-T), Colombia

et al. 2021

El estado de degradación que enfrentan los ecosistemas de bosque seco tropical (bs-T) en diferentes escalas geográficas es razón para priorizar su conservación. En este estudio se hizo un análisis participativo y multicriterio de servicios ecosistémicos (SE) asociados a coberturas presentes en la zona de vida de bs-T en un área protegida. Los SE fueron espacializados a una escala local para proyectar pautas de manejo, los cuales se priorizaron y caracterizaron mediante entrevistas a actores clave. Para la aproximación al funcionamiento del ecosistema se establecieron indicadores de procesos y estructura ecosistémica basados en información de suelos, vegetación, fauna e impulsores de cambio. Se encontró que los SE de mayor importancia son la producción agropecuaria y el suministro de agua potable. El funcionamiento del ecosistema resultó bajo y muy bajo en sistemas agrícolas; bajo y medio en sistemas pecuarios; y alto y muy alto en sistemas naturales. Se recomienda poner en funcionamiento estrategias de conservación sostenibles y participativas.

“…Plural valuation has been defined as a science-policy process that assesses the multiple values attributed to nature by social actors (i.e., actors with a stake) and how this knowledge can guide decision-making (Rincon-Ruiz et al , 2019). The growing literature on plural, inclusive or integrated valuation provides a broad range of guidelines for the practical implementation of nature valuation studies (see Figure 1).…”

Non-technical abstractDecisions on the use of nature reflect the values and rights of individuals, communities and society at large. The values of nature are expressed through cultural norms, rules and legislation, and they can be elicited using a wide range of tools, including those of economics. None of the approaches to elicit peoples' values are neutral. Unequal power relations influence valuation and decision-making and are at the core of most environmental conflicts. As actors in sustainability thinking, environmental scientists and practitioners are becoming more aware of their own posture, normative stance, responsibility and relative power in society. Based on a transdisciplinary workshop, our perspective paper provides a normative basis for this new community of scientists and practitioners engaged in the plural valuation of nature. Technical abstractDuring a workshop held in Oaxaca, Mexico, a shared vision, mission and strategies to foster a more plural valuation of nature were developed. The participants represent a wide range of backgrounds and are active in science, policy and practitioner networks and activities.https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.
