A telecoupling model to account for spatial subsidies of ecosystem services provided by transboundary migratory species in North America
Abstract
In complex coupled natural-human systems, drivers of change in one location can have profound effects on human well-being in distant locations, often across international borders. While the conceptual framework of telecoupling describes these interactions across space, the ability to quantify feedbacks between ecosystem change in one area and societal benefits in other areas has been hindered by a lack of analytical approaches. We use a new approach developed by PI López-Hoffman and colleagues—spatial subsidies—to operationalize the concept of telecoupling by measuring the degree to which a migratory species’ ability to provide services in one location depends on habitat in another location. For the first objective, we develop a model to calculate spatial subsidies in the telecoupled natural-human system of the northern pintail duck in North America. PI: L. López-Hoffman Co-PIs: J.
