OVERVIEW
The Synthesis Team bears the responsibility for ensuring the success of landscapes and themes is brought to a larger scale, including:
While ecosystem services connect people and nature and provide a common language to bridge disparate areas of inquiry, the rigor and standardization of ecosystem services remains a work in progress, and the policy relevance of ecosystem services is still finding itself within a governance landscape that largely pre-dates ecosystem service language and concepts. This theme focuses on maximizing the the rigour and relevance of ecosystem service approaches in the real world by connecting academia, government and the not-for-profit and private sectors with awareness of both academic and non-academic priorities, programs, and policies to best return network innovations and opportunities to the governance landscape where they can have greatest impact.
This theme also works on building and exploring novel scenario development methods and road-testing the monitoring and dashboard system for ESON-C.
- Developing standard protocols for data collection that work across landscapes (e.g., for indicators used, resolution of data collected, and other methods)
- Methodological development to ensure that landscapes and themes are advancing along the frontiers of ES science
- Testing and refining ESON-C for all working landscapes of Canada (beyond the six ResNet focal landscapes)
