DESCRIPTION:What we can learn from the agricultural areas around\nMontreal.
 \nBy Elena\nBennett (Natural Resource Sciences and Â鶹Éç School of\nEnvir
 onment\, Â鶹Éç)\nAgricultural landscapes can provide many different ecosy
 stem\nservices\, including food\, high quality freshwater\, opportunities
 \nfor recreation\, and flood control. Yet we often focus narrowly on\nthe 
 production of food\, which can unintentionally undermine\nprovision of oth
 er key services.  The idea of managing for\necosystem services compels us 
 to consider more than one service and\nobliges us to consider the interact
 ions and relationships among\necosystem services on the landscape. Yet we 
 don’t know very much\nabout these interactions. Thus\, a key goal for scie
 nce in the\ncoming decade is to improve our understanding of how multiple
 \nservices are provided across agricultural landscapes. What affects\nthe 
 relative proportions of services? Can trade-offs be reduced or\nsynergies 
 strengthened? We are working with local communities in\nthe Vallée-du-Rich
 elieu MRC (Municipalité Régionale de Comté)\, a\n750 km2 regional governan
 ce body involving 13 towns southeast of\nMontréal to build models that the
 y can use to objectively quantify\nthe effect of today’s resource and land
  management decisions on the\ncurrent and future provision of multiple eco
 system services.\n
