Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of ecosystem services (ES), including their assessment, management, and integration into policy and decision-making. It examines how ES are provided by various ecosystems like forests, wetlands, and urban areas, and how they contribute to human well-being. The journal also explores frameworks for accounting for ES, the role of nature-based solutions (NbS) and payment for ecosystem services (PES) schemes, and the challenges in linking ES knowledge to practical implementation and sustainability.
