Déconstruire la spatialisation de services écosystémiques par la modélisation critique
Abstract
This article analyzes the impact of the choice and accuracy of input data on the metrology of the objects of Nature, based on the example of the ecosystem services mapping in the Amazonian pioneer fronts. To do so, field and remote sensing data are linked using regressions. These regressions emphasize: 1) the unequal capacity to map ecosystem services; 2) the need to adapt the methodology to each indicator; 3) the need to take into account various and precise data to limit uncertainty. Providing a critical look on the methodological choices is one of the possible contributions to the critical analysis of the concept of ecosystem services and should enable a better consideration of the uncertainty in their maps. This work brings important framing elements in the use of quantified approach of this concept for the decision-making. Show more
