A review of methods, data, and models to assess changes in the value of ecosystem services from land degradation and restoration (2016, background): “This is mainly because there is no such global model today, and the development of such a model would most likely require aggregation of existing models.”
Ecosystem service bundles for analyzing tradeoffs in diverse landscapes (2010, background): “We extended previous work on multiple ecosystem services (1, 5, 12) and define ecosystem service bundles as sets of ecosystem services that repeatedly appear together across space or time.”
Quantification of population sizes of large herbivores and their long‐term functional role in ecosystems using dung fungal spores (2016, background): “Therefore, quantifying the effects of wild and domesticated large herbivore pressure on ecosystems is extremely important if we are to gain understanding of future land cover changes and their impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services (Carpenter et al. 2009).”
Visions of Sustainability in Bioeconomy Research (2014, positive): “An ecosystem services perspective may provide a useful framework to consider the use of biomass resources for various goals, provided that utilization is realized within the boundaries of sustainability (compare [103,104]).”
Contributions of cultural services to the ecosystem services agenda (2012, background): “integration of social and ecological science has mostly been framed in terms of cooperation between ecologists and economists (113); however, for cultural ES in particular, the cooperation must be extended to broader domains of environmental and social sciences (8, 22).”
Insight, part of a Special Feature on Ecosystem Service Trade-offs across Global Contexts and Scales A sustainability framework for assessing trade-offs in ecosystem services (2015, background): “In fact, assessing the key trade-offs within a variety of land-use conditions and within different societal and biophysical conditions remains an important topic of research (Carpenter et al. 2009, Carpenter et al. 2012).”
Optimizing land use decision-making to sustain Brazilian agricultural profits, biodiversity and ecosystem services (2016, background): “Although food production is an ES bymany classification schemes, we distinguish AP from BD and WQ in our assessment to evaluate the trade-offs between marketed and non-marketed services (given that the former are often produced at the expense of the latter) (Carpenter et al., 2009).”
Uncovering Ecosystem Service Bundles through Social Preferences (2012, background): “Recent contributions have stressed the need to advance our understanding of the social values of ecosystem services, trade-offs resulting from different interests in ecosystem use, and ecosystem service bundles promoted by different landscape management strategies [62].”
Invasive plants as drivers of regime shifts: identifying high‐priority invaders that alter feedback relationships (2014, background): “Improving our understanding of the conditions under which particular regime shifts occur, and identifying ecological thresholds that could lead to regime shifts, are urgent research priorities (Carpenter et al., 2009; Reid et al., 2010).”
The importance of deliberation in valuing ecosystem services in developing countries - evidence from the Solomon Islands (2011, background): “There are increasing calls to estimate the value of ecosystem services in monetary terms (Carpenter et al., 2006; Carpenter et al., 2009; Sutherland et al., 2009; TEEB, 2010).”
Towards an assessment of multiple ecosystem processes and services via functional traits (2010, background): “…processes such as herbivory and seed dispersal, initially recognized in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment as ecosystem services, were here considered as ecosystem processes affecting several services (e.g., biological control, decomposition, food production; see also Carpenter et al. 2009).”
