Scenarios for providing multiple ecosystem services and biodiversity in viticultural landscapes
WP1:Â Stakeholder-driven scenario development and ABM
Hypotheses:
Awareness of multiple ecosystem services will influence land-use decisions by winegrowers (in favour of biodiversity).
Depending on the local context, both policies and climate change show different effects on farmers’ decisions which influence biodiversity and ES.
Stakeholders have different perceptions of drivers and challenges than the scientific community, and including this place-based knowledge leads to a more efficient supply of biodiversity-related goods and services.
Agent based Modelling (ABM) on the bases of stakeholder engagement processes contributes to bridging the gap between scientific and practical knowledge.
