OUR WORK

Scientific and partnership activities of ResNet take place in a series of six exemplar working landscapes across Canada. In each landscape, ResNet will launch a series of investigations, co-designed with local industry, government, NGO, and Indigenous partners and other stakeholders, into the provision, modelling, and governance of multiple ecosystem services.

ResNet also features three themes, in which scientists, working with theme partners, will apply theory to the data and knowledge generated in the six landscapes to improve the management, modeling, and monitoring of ecosystem services in each landscape, and then synthesize the knowledge generated across landscapes to produce tools for monitoring, modelling, and managing ecosystem services beyond these focal landscapes in other working landscapes of Canada and at larger scales.

OUR SIX LANDSCAPES

Landscape 1: Bay of Fundy

Landscape 2: Quebec

Landscape 3: Prairie Landscapes

Landscape 4: Northwestern Canada

Landscape 5: BC & Western Canada

Landscape 6: Pacific Coast

OUR THREE THEMES

1: Mapping the decision-space for Ecosystem Services management

2: Modeling ecosystem services provisioning and demand

3: Monitoring both Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
