Mechanisms of change in state:
Natural capital:
| Likely response | Effect of variability on services provision | Human action or natural variation | Timescale | Spatial Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short - Long term | Local to regional - impact can be in the local area but also further afield | |||
| Long term | Local to global - climate is changing on a global level with changes in individual pest species occuring at more local and regional scales | |||
| Short - Long term | Local - areas where pest population is high can be impacted | |||
| Long term | Local to regional - impacts can vary depending on the range of species |
Natural capital:
| Likely response | Effect of variability on services provision | Human action or natural variation | Timescale | Spatial Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short - Long term | Local to global - local areas and regions differ in their emission of greenhouse gas emissions, however this form of pollution acts on a global scale | |||
| Short - Long term | Local to global - emissions often occur locally, but atmospheric lifetimes are long enough for them to be transported across continents | |||
| Short - Long term | Local to global - impacts can be observed ranging from local to global level |
| Likely response | Effect of variability on services provision | Human action or natural variation | Timescale | Spatial Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mid - Long term | Local to regional - impact can be in the local area but also other regions | |||
| Short - Long term | Local to regional - areas with favourable soil conditions for other uses could be impacted |
