DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Matthew Mitchell\, Department of Natural Re
 source Sciences\nEcosystem services\, the benefits that people receive fro
 m ecosystems\, depend on the movement of organisms and matter across lands
 capes\, as well as the biodiversity and ecosystem functions that are prese
 nt. Human activities around the world are rapidly and significantly changi
 ng ecosystems\, landscapes\, biodiversity\, and\, ultimately\, ecosystem s
 ervices. This is particularly true in agricultural systems\, where human a
 ctivities to maximize the ecosystem service of food production often lead 
 to the decline of other important ecosystem services. While we understand 
 that ecosystem services are critical to human well-being\, our current kno
 wledge of the provision of ecosystem services across landscapes contains a
  number of significant gaps that limit our ability to manage for services 
 and human well-being. In particular\, we don’t fully understand how change
 s in landscape structure – the composition and configuration of land use t
 ypes – affect the provision of multiple ecosystem services. In this thesis
 \, Mr. Mitchell explores the theoretical and empirical relationships betwe
 en landscape structure\, biodiversity\, and ecosystem service provision.\n
 Everyone in the McGill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. 
 Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
