  9. ES Straightforward translation? Biodiversity Biodiversity Rate/magnitude Time / Space Moving towards ecosystem services EF ES ~ f(biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, environment)

  10. Biodiversity Biodiversity Environment Environment E B B E Revise our way of thinking

  11. Dilemma #1: what contributes to ecosystem services? • Distinguish the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem processes from the effects of the environmental factors • Statistically overcome the limitations of confounding, collinear & auto-correlated variables Environment Biodiversity (Pearson & Rosenberg, 1978)

  12. Dilemma #2: scale and context

  13. Dilemma #3: data resolution Different factors contributing to ecosystem services will require different resolution

  14. Dilemma #4: technology, manpower and resources

  15. Moving to the real world?

  16. Technology exists already, but has not been used in this context…. Sensors are developed… And in an estuarine setting, fouling no longer an issue…

  17. The Ythan-net vision: linking ecosystem services to changes in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning Real time data coupled with ground truth survey and observation
