IN THIS PROJECT WE WILL EXAMINE MULTIPLE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES ON COFFEE FARMS IN PUERTO RICO -- FOOD PROVISIONING (INCLUDING COFFEE), POLLINATION, PEST CONTROL, CARBON STORAGE AND BIODIVERSITY. OUR GOAL IS TO DETERMINE HOW AGRICULTURAL INTENSIFICATION, AND IN PARTICULAR THE LOCAL AND LANDSCAPE TRANSFORMATIONS INHERENT THEREIN, AFFECTS THESE SERVICES. WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE HOW INTERACTIONS RESULT IN POTENTIAL TRADEOFFS AND SYNERGIES AMONG THESE CRUCIAL ECOSYSTEM SERVICES. THE RESEARCH WILL FOCUS ON COFFEE AGROECOSYSTEMS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MODEL FOREST OF PUERTO RICO, A MULTI-LAND USE AREA IN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. WE WILL SELECT 60 COFFEE FARMS ALONG AN AGRICULTURAL INTENSIFICATION GRADIENT AND WITHIN A VARIETY OF LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES, AND WILL ASSESS THE FIVE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN EACH. WE WILL THEN EXAMINE HOW LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGEMENT AND LANDSCAPE VARIABLES AFFECT THESE SERVICES AND THEIR TRADEOFFS AND SYNERGIES. WE HOPE TO GENERATE KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN GUIDE LAND USE MANAGEMENT AT THE LOCAL AND LANDSCAPE LEVELS AMONG COFFEE FARMERS IN THE REGION. A SECONDARY OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH WILL BE TO ENGAGE FARMERS WITH THE RESEARCH OUTPUT THROUGH A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS WHERE GROUPS OF FARMERS WILL PLAY ECOLOGICAL BOARD GAMES THAT INCORPORATE RESEARCH RESULTS. FINALLY, WE WILL ASSESS THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS OF THESE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES TO FARMERS AND WORK WITH THE OFFICE OF THE MODEL FOREST OF PUERTO RICO TO DEVELOP A COFFEE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM THAT WILL INCORPORATE BUNDLES OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES.
