The Montérégie Connection: Understanding How Ecosystems Can Provide Resilience to the Risk of Ecosystem Service Change
Abstract
The Montérégie Connection project aimed to help the community of this agricultural region just southeast of Montreal to improve management of multiple ecosystem services by developing and empirically testing a modeling framework that quantitatively linked landscape connectivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem services in this region. We will use this framework to build scenarios and other practical decision support tools with communities to help them grapple with the challenges of environmental management in the face of local, regional, and global change. We focused especially on how forest connectivity and forest corridors might help the local landscape maintain biodiversity and provide the desired ES in the face of these changes.
