ecosystem services in urban areas
Ecological Economics, 1999Co-Authors: Per Bolund, Sven HunhammarAbstract:Humanity is increasingly urban, but continues to depend on Nature for its survival. Cities are dependent on the Ecosystems beyond the city limits, but also benefit from internal urban Ecosystems. The aim of this paper is to analyze the ecosystem services generated by Ecosystems within the urban area. ‘Ecosystem services’ refers to the benefits human populations derive from Ecosystems. Seven different urban Ecosystems have been identified: street trees; lawns:parks; urban forests; cultivated land; wetlands; lakes:sea; and streams. These systems generate a range of ecosystem services. In this paper, six local and direct services relevant for Stockholm are addressed: air filtration, micro climate regulation, noise reduction, rainwater drainage, sewage treatment, and recreational and cultural values. It is concluded that the locally generated ecosystem services have a substantial impact on the quality-of-life in urban areas and should be addressed in land-use planning. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

the biodiversity dependent ecosystem service debt
Ecology Letters, 2015Co-Authors: Stephen Polasky, Forest Isbell, David Tilman, Michel LoreauAbstract:Habitat destruction is driving biodiversity loss in remaining Ecosystems, and ecosystem functioning and services often directly depend on biodiversity. Thus, biodiversity loss is likely creating an ecosystem service debt: a gradual loss of biodiversity-dependent benefits that people obtain from remaining fragments of natural Ecosystems. Here, we develop an approach for quantifying ecosystem service debts, and illustrate its use to estimate how one anthropogenic driver, habitat destruction, could indirectly diminish one ecosystem service, carbon storage, by creating an extinction debt. We estimate that c. 2-21 Pg C could be gradually emitted globally in remaining ecosystem fragments because of plant species loss caused by nearby habitat destruction. The wide range for this estimate reflects substantial uncertainties in how many plant species will be lost, how much species loss will impact ecosystem functioning and whether plant species loss will decrease soil carbon. Our exploratory analysis suggests that biodiversity-dependent ecosystem service debts can be globally substantial, even when locally small, if they occur diffusely across vast areas of remaining Ecosystems. There is substantial value in conserving not only the quantity (area), but also the quality (biodiversity) of natural Ecosystems for the sustainable provision of ecosystem services.

Knowledge transfer in open innovation
Business Process Management Journal, 2019Co-Authors: Giustina Secundo, Antonio Toma, Giovanni Schiuma, Giuseppina PassianteAbstract:Despite the abundance of research in open innovation, few contributions explore it at inter-organizational level, and particularly with a focus on healthcare ecosystem, characterized by a dense network of relationships among public and private organizations (hospitals, companies and universities) as well as other actors that can be labeled as “untraditional” player, i.e. doctors, nurses and patients. The purpose of this paper is to cover this gap and explore how knowledge is transferred and flows among all the healthcare Ecosystems’ players in order to support open innovation processes.,The paper is conceptual in nature and adopts a narrative literature review approach. In particular, insights gathered from open innovation literature at the inter-organizational network level, with a particular attention to healthcare Ecosystems, and from the knowledge transfer processes, are analyzed in order to propose an interpretative framework for the understanding of knowledge transfer in open innovation with a focus on healthcare ecosystem.,The paper proposes an original interpretative framework for knowledge transfer to support open innovation in healthcare Ecosystems, composed of four main components: healthcare ecosystem’s players’ categories; knowledge flows among different categories of players along the exploration and exploitation stages of innovation development; players’ motivations for open innovation; and players’ positions in the innovation process. In addition, assuming the intermediary network as the suitable organizational model for healthcare ecosystem, four classification scenarios are identified on the basis of the main players’ influence degree and motivations for open innovation.,The paper offers interpretative lenses for managers and policy makers in understanding the most suitable organizational models able to encourage open innovation in healthcare Ecosystems, taking into consideration the players’ motivation and the knowledge transfer processes on the basis of the innovation results.,The paper introduces a novel framework that fills a gap in the innovation management literature, by pointing out the key role of external not R&D players, like patients, involved in knowledge transfer for open innovation processes in healthcare Ecosystems.
