Current Status and Future Prospects for the Assessment of Marine and Coastal Ecosystem Services: A Systematic Review (2013, background): “Extensive reviews of such indicators, mostly focused on terrestrial systems, have been carried out by [20–24].”
Biodiversity of traits and species both show weak responses to hydromorphological alteration in lowland river macroinvertebrates (2014, background): “Some studies suggest that FD should complement conventional biodiversity measures of species richness and equitability in ecosystem assessment and monitoring (Diaz & Cabido, 2001; Lavorel et al., 2008; Feld et al., 2009; Vaughn, 2010), because the”
Selecting cost effective and policy-relevant biological indicators for European monitoring of soil biodiversity and ecosystem function (2016, background): “The application of biological indicators to assess changes in the delivery of ecosystem 57 functions is accepted practice both at national and European scales (Feld et al., 2009; Pulleman et 58 al., 2012; Faber et al., 2013; Lemanceau et al., 2015).”
Chapter Three - From Natural to Degraded Rivers and Back Again: A Test of Restoration Ecology Theory and Practice (2011, unknown): “Biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and community characteristics often track gradients of environmental stress or degradation closely and are, therefore, frequently used as bioindicators within assessment and monitoring schemes (Borja et al., 2009a,b; Feld and Hering, 2007; Feld et al., 2009; Heri”
Functional traits as indicators of biodiversity response to land use changes across ecosystems and organisms (2010, methodology): “All samples were taken according to a standard multi-habitat sampling protocol using a handned (mesh: 500 lm, sampling area: 1.25 m 2 ; for details on sampling and sample processing see Feld and Hering 2007 ).”

Integration of ecological and socio-economic factors to assess global vulnerability to wildfire (2014, background): “Biodiversity is particularly critical in this regard, as it underlies ecosystem functioning, affecting breathable air, fertile soils, climate regulation, carbon storage, food and wood production as well as having many cultural benefits (Naidoo & Ricketts, 2006; Feld et al., 2009).”
Assessing water ecosystem services for water resource management (2016, background): “…do not provide directly indicators for ecosystem services): the specific studies of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment dealing with freshwater systems (MEA, 2005b,c); UNEP (2009), UNEP-WCM (2011), Feld et al.
