Abstract

This section explains the relationship between landscape management (LM) and ecosystem services (ESs). A proper LM would have two aspects, namely pros and cons, from the perspective of biodiversity and ESs. Improper LM may cause negative impacts on the ESs and ecosystems. On the other once an LM is done properly, several positive benefits can be derived from it. Then the trade-off between the impacts on wildlife habitat and the ES provisions made by the LM also needs to be considered. Currently, LM has been reviewed for many fields. However, information about the priority of the increase of ESs and the decrease of ecosystem disservices in this area is not readily available. This section also describes a simple spatial ES assessment for an urban area, namely Nagoya City, which was conducted using the method for estimating ES potential supply and land use priority, by taking LM into consideration.
