Atlantic Forest: Ecosystem Services Linking People and Biodiversity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Atlantic Forest

Abstract

The Atlantic forest biome is a key provider of ecosystem services (ES) delivered worldwide. The region presents a complex history of land use changes based on human demands that have decreased its native vegetation and the potential to integrate biodiversity and human wellbeing. In this chapter, we described the profile of the scientific output on ES for the Atlantic forest; the spatial patterns of ES; projected scenarios, particularly considering the potential for ecosystem restoration; and the profile of public policies and private practices based on ES in the region. We emphasize that the integration of multiple strategies that fill the knowledge gaps, identify local demands and trade-offs, and promote dialogue between multiple sectors will be key to ensure the provisioning of ES in the Atlantic Forest in the coming years.
