At macroecological scales, the provision of Nature's contributions to people (NCP) is mostly estimated with biophysical information, ignoring the ecological processes underlying them. This hinders our ability to properly quantify the impact of declining biodiversity and the provision of NCP. Here, we propose a framework that combines local-scale food web energy flux approaches and large-scale biodiversity models to evaluate ecosystem functions and flux-related NCP at extensive spatiotemporal scales. Importantly, this approach has the potential to upscale ecosystem functions, assess the vulnerability of flux-related NCP to the climate crisis, and support the development of multiscale mitigation policies.
在宏观生态学尺度上，对自然对人类的贡献（NCP）的评估主要是基于生物物理信息的，而忽略了它们背后的生态过程。这阻碍了我们正确量化生物多样性减少和 NCP 提供的影响的能力。在这里，我们提出了一个框架，该框架结合了局部尺度的食物网能量通量方法和大规模的生物多样性模型，以在广泛的时空尺度上评估生态系统功能和通量相关的 NCP。重要的是，这种方法有可能扩大生态系统功能，评估与通量相关的 NCP 对气候危机的脆弱性，并支持多尺度缓解政策的制定。
