Title: "Landscape planning for the future: using fossil records to map potential threats, opportunities and likely future developments for biodiversity and ecosystem services"
The aim of the Workshop is to share how we can use palaeoecological data to solve pressing problems in landscape planning and the management of ecosystem services. The program will be made up of presentations and break-out sessions for discussion. Speakers will discuss how they have used palaeoecological data to demonstrate the change over time and/or space in essential ecosystem functions and services in ways that are directly applicable to landscape planning. Furthermore there will be presentations on state-of-the-art methodologies that can be used to model long-term data in support of decision making.
