Abstract Earth’s mosaic of ecosystems—forests, grasslands, wetlands, streams, estuaries, and oceans—when functioning naturally, provides materials, conditions, and processes that sustain all life on this planet, including human life. The benefits that all living things obtain from ecosystems are called “ecosystem services.” Some are very

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2011
The ‘ecosystem service’ debate has taken on many features of a classic Kuhnian paradigm. It challenges conventional wisdoms about conservation and the value of nature, and is driven as much by political agendas as scientific ones. In this paper we review some current and emerging issues arising in relation to the analysis and assessment of ecosystem ...
