What Are Ecosystem Services? [PDF]
This paper advocates consistently defined units of account to measure the contributions of nature to human welfare. We argue that such units have to date not been defined by environmental accounting advocates and that the term “ecosystem services” is too

Scientific instruments for climate change adaptation: estimating and optimizing the efficiency of ecosystem service provision [PDF]
Adaptation to the consequences of climate change can depend on efficient use of ecosystem services (ES), i.e. a better use of natural services through management of the way in which they are delivered to society. While much discussion focuses on reducing
