Rita Lopes,
Nuno Videira
A participatory system dynamics modelling approach is advanced to support
conceptualization of feedback processes underlying ecosystem services and to foster a
shared understanding of leverage intervention points. The process includes systems
mapping workshop and follow-up tasks aiming at the collaborative construction of causal
loop diagrams. A case study developed in a natural area in Portugal illustrates how a
stakeholder group was actively engaged in the development of a conceptual model depicting
policies for sustaining the climate regulation ecosystem service.
