AGIT takes place from July 8. – 10 in Salzburg, Austria and runs parallel to the English-language GI_Forum.
Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) is offering a PhD position in Ecosystem Services, working at UFZ/iDiv in the ESuDis project within the DFG Biodiversity Exploratories project, led by Dr. Maria Felipe-Lucia in collaboration with Prof. Berta Martin-Lopez, Leuphana University of Lüneburg.
This project investigates the relationships between natural and anthropogenic capital on the supply of ecosystem services, and on the use and demand by different stakeholders, in order to understand its effects on the distribution of ecosystem services among stakeholders at multiple spatial scales.

The Environmental Systems Analysis (ESA) group at Wageningen University & Research is looking for excellent, open-minded & team-spirited PhD-researcher, eager to unravel the variety of worldwide agricultural systems and their related biodiversity and ecosystem services. The study will focus on pollination and natural pest control by exploring the dynamics in space and time of these ecosystem services.
You will work on the project: ‘Global modelling of biodiversity and ecosystem services for agricultural systems’. [Read more…] about Vacancy: PhD candidate to relate ecosystem services to diversity of agricultural systems

This new paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters deals with measuring ecosystem multifunctionality across scales.
Multifunctionality refers to the capacity of an area to supply multiple ecosystem functions or services. While many conceptual and methodological advances have focused on defining and quantifying multifunctionality, the challenge of dealing with cross-scale dynamics of multifunctionality remains open. This study proposes a new way of measuring multifunctionality across spatial scales, illustrated with a European-wide dataset of 18 ecosystem services.
