Amazing talk by Gorm Shackelford Conservation Evidence on their new Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis tool for choosing the best conservation interventions for achieving multiple ecosystem service benefits @SCBEurope #ECCB2018

#ECCB2018 This session on management for multiple ecosystem services is excellent peerageofscience.org/conference/ecc…. Really looking forward to the final discussion. Audience of 60+, examples from many habitats and global regions. Thanks for organising Gorm Shackelford Conservation Evidence

#ECCB2018 Matthias Albrecht Agroscope presenting results of a very important knowledge synthesis - do flower strips enhance pollination and pest regulation services in agriculture?

Winter cover crops in Mediterranean arable farms increase soil organic matter and microbial biomass; decrease spring soil water content; decrease weed abundance; increase CO2 emissions but also increase soil carbon bit.ly/2m9Vtjb Gorm Shackelford The Nature Conservancy in California

How can you decide what to do when there are a range of options (in this case farming) and these have a wide range of consequences (yield, soil, climate, water etc)? Answer is combine Subject-Wide Evidence Synthesis with Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis bit.ly/2MAtXoL

.Gorm Shackelford introduces dynamic meta-analysis as an interactive approach (including filtering and weighting) to evidence-based decision making #BES2019. More info at metadataset.com and frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

We need broader, flexible synthesis for conservation decision-making - introducing Dynamic Meta-Analysis - great overview from Phil Martin - call for collaborators #BES2019
