Engineering's Demand for Ecosystem Services -- Quantifying the Direct and Indirect Demand for Ecosystem Services -- Water Provisioning -- Biogeochemical Cycles: Modeling Interaction of Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles with Industrial Systems -- The Significance of Insect Pollinators: Opportunities and Challenges -- Biodiversity -- Part III. Nature's Capacity to Supply Ecosystem Services -- Tools for Quantifying the Supply of Ecosystem Services -- Designing with Nature: Incorporating Hydrological services in Engineering Projects -- Improved Air Quality and Other Services from Urban Trees and Forests -- Services from Agroecosystems and their Quantification -- Part IV. Including Nature in Engineering -- Challenges in Developing Synergies between Technological and Ecological Systems -- Making the Business Case for Nature-Based Solutions -- Greenprinting: Urban Planning for Ecosystem Services -- Wetlaculture: Solving Harmful Algal Blooms with a Sustainable Wetland/Agricultural Landscape -- Design of Agroecological Landscapes -- Integrated Design of Processes and Supply Chains with Wetlands -- Demand and Supply of Air Quality Regulation Ecosystem Service -- Designing Synergies between Homeorhetic Ecosystems and Homeostatic Manufacturing Systems -- Ecosystem Services in the Life Cycle of Biofuels -- Designing for Resilience and Sustainability: An Integrated Systems Approach -- Part V Socio-Economic Aspects of Accounting for Nature -- Environmental Markets -- Preventing Unintended Harm from Socio-Ecological Interactions -- Part VI Directions for the Future -- Outlook.

This book demonstrates how the inclusion of nature in engineering decisions results in innovative solutions that are economically feasible, ecologically viable, and socially desirable. It advances progress toward nature-positive decisions by protection and restoration of ecosystems and respect for ecological boundaries. The topic of this book is an active area of academic research, and leading companies are including goals associated with ecosystem services in their sustainability plans. This book is the first collection of methods and applications that explicitly include the role of nature in supporting engineering activities and describes the role that ecosystems play in supporting technology and industry. It describes approaches, models, applications, and challenges for innovation and sustainability that will be useful to students and practitioners. Describes methods to account for ecosystem goods and services in sustainability assessment and engineering design; Presents a systematic framework for seeking synergies between technological and ecological systems; Enables convergence between engineering, environmental science, ecology, and economics.
