Spatial congruence between biodiversity and ecosystem services in a forest landscape in southern Chile: basis for conservation planning

There is a need for a better understanding on how biodiversity and ecosystem services are spatially related and assess to what extent the conservation of biodiversity will ensure the provision of services. In the Río Cruces watershed (Chile) the spatial congruence between biodiversity and water supp...
