All PEI events will be held virtually for Fall 2020. Please check our event calendar for details. PEI faculty, staff and students should continue to check the Princeton homepage for University-wide updates.
The current scale, rate and intensity of anthropogenic change has evoked broad discussion about how these changes will affect the future of the planet. Ecosystem services can be an effective organizing principle for meeting the needs of a growing global population, while maintaining resilient provision of other services across landscapes. Bennett will present a novel framework to quantitatively link landscape planning, biodiversity, the provision of multiple ecosystem services, and human well-being. This framework shows how landscape configuration, and especially the connectivity of forest patches in the agricultural and peri-urban milieu, affects biodiversity and the provision of several ecosystem services.
