DOES BIOPHYSICAL AND PARTICIPATORY MAPPING OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES REVEAL SIMILAR LOCATIONS FOR STAKEHOLDER CONFLICT AND COOPERATION?
Interactions among ecosystem services, such as trade-offs, are influenced by both the biophysical and social components of the landscapes that provide them. While most research on ecosystem service interactions has focused on their biophysical locations, the spatial interactions of people and their ecosystem services use has rarely been explored in tandem with biophysical interactions. Focusing on aquatic ecosystem services in a Northern Ontario watershed, we ask three main questions to explore the multiple facets of ecosystem service interactions: (1) Where are important locations of biophysical interactions among ecosystem services? (2) Where do activities of different user groups overlap across the landscape? and (3) How do user-reported areas of conflict and cooperation differ from those derived from biophysical mapping approaches? Using freely available geospatial data, including high-resolution aerial photography, we map biophysical locations important for ecosystem services and overlay these locations with maps of ecosystem service use identified by 28 stakeholders. We also asked stakeholders about their attitudes towards other user groups. Our paired understanding of biophysical and social components allows for a richer examination of ecosystem service interactions and their consequences, including potential conflict or cooperation among different stakeholders.
