Advancing research on ecosystem service bundles for comparative assessments and synthesis [PDF]

open access: yesEcosystems and People, 2022
Social-ecological interactions have been shown to generate interrelated and reoccurring sets of ecosystem services, also known as ecosystem service bundles. Given the potential utility of the bundles concept, along with the recent surge in interest it is
