摘      要：Introduction:Ecosystem goods and services(EGS)studies have had little impact on policy processes and real-world decision-making due to limited understanding of the interactions and feedbacks among ecological,social and economic *** we present an inter-and transdisciplinary analysis of global change impacts on EGS provision in a European mountain *** aim is to evaluate the projected influence of ecological,economic and social drivers on future EGS provision and to show possible ways to address the predominant limitations of EGS ***:The integrated findings from ecological experiments,mechanistic models of landscape dynamics,socio-economic land-use models,policy analysis and transdisciplinary stakeholder interactions are presented *** regionally downscaled global change scenarios,for a case study region near Visp,Switzerland(350 km2),were used to examine the impacts of climate and socio-economic changes on four ecosystem services,i.e.,food provision,timber production,net greenhouse gas emissions and protection from natural ***:Our simulation results reveal four key aspects that influence the future provision of mountain ***,we show the high spatial and temporal heterogeneity of EGS provision even in a small case study ***,we find that climate change impacts are much more pronounced for forest EGS,while changes to agricultural EGS result primarily from shifts in economic ***,our modeling results reveal the complex trade-offs associated with the different ***,simulations illustrate the importance of interactions between environmental shifts and economic *** discuss our simulation results with respect to both existing policy networks and transdisciplinary stakeholder ***:We describe a framework based on experiments and observations that effectively supports the integration of ecological processes into an integrative modeling chain of EGS provisio
