Multifunctionality of Agriculture:A Review of Definitions, Evidence and Instruments (2007, background): “The unit of analysis in this approach is therefore the land. de Groot et al. (2002) speak from an ecosystem point of view about regulation, habitat, production and information functions.”
Food as Commons or Commodity? Exploring the Links between Normative Valuations and Agency in Food Transition (2017, background): “Natural ecosystems are an almost unlimited source of edible plants and animals, ranging from game and bush meat, fish and fowl, to vegetables, fungi or fruits [197-198] and wild food is already fully considered as an ecosystem service [199], although still receiving little attention due to perceived”
Integrating ecosystem services and environmental planning: limitations and synergies (2011, methodology): “Also the term function is used (de Groot et al. 2002), for example, in the context of classifying ESS along ‘functional’ lines (MEA 2005). Fisher et al. (2009) defined ESS as ‘the aspects of ecosystems utilized (actively or passively) to produce human well-being’ and emphasised that ESS must be ecol”
A quantitative review of relationships between ecosystem services (2014, result): “…2009; de Groot et al., 2010) and mostly positively related to biodiversity (Balvan-era et al., 2006; Mace et al., 2012; Harrison et al., 2014). de Groot et al. (2002) defined “habitat and gene pool protection services” (R6) as a basis for other functions, which is in line with its observed…”
Ecosystem services: Foundations, opportunities, and challenges for the forest products sector (2009, background): “Considering the long history of the ecosystem service concept and its now frequent appearance in the literature, the diversity in definitions may be surprising (see for review, de Groot et al., 2002; Kline, 2007; Costanza, 2008; Fisher and Turner, 2008).”
Land use functions — a multifunctionality approach to assess the impact of land use changes on land use sustainability (2008, background): “The recognition that land use changes, as other drivers of change, affect multiple dimensions of sustainability has been considerably boosted by the appearance of the concept of ecosystem goods and services (Constanza et al, 1997) or functions (De Groot et al., 2002).”
A blueprint for mapping and modelling ecosystem services (2013, background): “However, these studies tend to be quite rare, even though they follow more precisely the definition of waste treatment ecosystem services according to de Groot et al. (2002).”
A resilience-based framework for evaluating adaptive co-management: Linking ecology, economics and society in a complex world (2007, background): “For example, Pearce and Turner (1989) categorized the key elements and features of natural capital in terms of source, sink and service functions. de Groot et al. (2002) organize natural capital according to regulation, production, habitat and information functions.”
Valuing mangrove benefits: contribution of mangrove forests to local livelihoods in Bhitarkanika Conservation Area, East Coast of India (2010, methodology): “The value of catch in zones with mangroves and without mangroves was compared using Market Price method (IIED 1995; Wilson and Carpenter 1999; de Groot et al. 2002).”
Non-renewable groundwater use and groundwater depletion: a review (2019, background): “14 (2019) 063002 MFPBierkens andYWada even though there exists a large body of literature on valuating ecosystem services (e.g. De Groot et al 2002, 2012, Costanza et al 2014), such valuations are difficult to translate to a pumping externality related to individual ecosystem components.”
