GARCIA-LOPEZ, Yasmany  y  CABRERA-HERNANDEZ, Juan Alfredo. Procedure to assess spatio-temporal variability in a supporting ecosystem process. Ing. Ind. [online]. 2023, vol.44, n.2, pp. 141-157.  Epub 11-Ago-2023. ISSN 1815-5936.

Ecosystem approach involves the understanding of the relationships among structures, processes and ecosystem services. Therefore, the article designs and applies a procedure to assess spatial-temporal variability, which may be present, in a support process to ecosystem services. Specific sites of assimilable phosphorus are used in a soil under sugarcane cultivation, to quantify a cost for excess phosphoric fertilizer. Differences in economic values between categories of this element in the soil are provided. This emphasizes the management and adaptation to the spatial-temporal variability of the nutrient availability process, for the sustainability of the sugar agribusiness.

Palabras clave : spatial-temporal variability; supporting process; ecosystem approach.
