Identifying ecosystem states with patterns of ecosystem service bundles
Identifying the state of an ecosystem and any changes in its state can help in detecting critical ecosystem transitions and formulating adaptive measures to reduce losses of ecosystem services. Such efforts are important for regional sustainability.

The Service-Dominant Ecosystem: Mapping a Service Dominant Strategy to a Product-Service Ecosystem [PDF]
Nowadays product-oriented companies are facing the need to focus on the service rather than the product alone. By following a Service-Dominant Strategy, we need to focus on the ecosystem embodying the collaboration to provide such a service. This collaborative perspective on value creation and value sharing is the foundation for designing new business ...

Marine ecosystem services [PDF]
Coastal and marine environments can begin up to 100 kilometers inland, extend to the continental shelf, and include ocean systems with waters up to 50 meters in depth. The distinct marine ecosystems found in these environments include estuarine and coastal wetlands, such as marshes and mangroves, sand beaches and dunes, seagrass beds, and coral and ...
