Project Description

Project Title: Climate change effects on ecosystem services supply & demand: an updated synthesis — Data

Summary: Note: this data release has been deprecated. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P1VED5SA.

Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to nature’s contributions to people. To inform proactive adaptation actions and research priorities, it is important to periodically synthesize peer-reviewed evidence of observed and projected climate effects on ecosystem services. By systematically reviewing journal articles that were published between 2014 and 2018, we aimed to identify trends and gaps in recent assessments of climate effects on ecosystem service supply, demand, and monetary value. In addition to recording direct climate impacts, we extracted data regarding climate interactions with non-climate drivers, study context (e.g., spatial scale, location, ecosystem) and methodology, characteristics and interactions between services, whether and how uncertainty was assessed, and implications for decision-making. While biased and constrained by excluding articles published in non-English languages and grey literature, this data spreadsheet compiles summary information and relevant literature for managers, decision-makers, researchers, and planners.

Purpose

The compiled data underlie a synthesis of recent and future climate effects on ecosystem service supply, demand, and monetary value. By integrating information from recent publications, the data spreadsheet and associated synthesis update and extend previous literature reviews (particularly, Runting et al., 2017). The data spreadsheet also represents a literature library of climate impacts on ecosystem services, which can be aggregated or disaggregated by study areas and methodologies, ecosystem service features and interactions, climate and non-climate driver interactions, uncertainty assessment approaches, and decision-making implications. Research gaps discerned from the data (e.g., described in the synthesis paper) can inform crucial directions for future studies. In addition to supporting analyses that yield valuable summaries for practitioners (e.g., managers, decision-makers, planners), this literature library can be a source of context-relevant case studies for ensuring continued flows of nature’s benefits to people in an uncertain and changing climate.
