“…Previous ES studies have often related socio-cultural values to ESs provided by a conservation area in general, not differentiating between specific ecosystems or ecosystem components (Castro et al 2011;Tengberg et al 2012;Allendorf and Yang 2013;Petrosillo et al 2013;Sagie et al 2013). Our results show that there is substantial difference between asking people for their awareness of ESs provided by Persina in general and the specific wetland types.…”

Fostering public support for wetland restoration is essential for long-term sustainable management and use of wetland areas. This paper explores the socio-cultural dimension of wetland restoration, by looking at the importance of wetland ecosystem services for different user groups. We try to better comprehend such values by evaluating the awareness people have of ecosystem services and the direct benefits people obtain from the ecosystems in their surroundings. In addition, we study how the values people assign to ecosystem services are related to wetland restoration attitudes. We identified four perspectives towards wetland restoration, which could partially be explained by corresponding values for ecosystem services: an eco-centric, a cultural, an economic and a negative perspective. To gather public support for wetland restoration it is important to take into account the different motivations people have to support such initiatives.

“…Ecosystem services are the benefits that human derived from ecosystems which include both utilitarian (monetary, biological) and non-utilitarian (esthetic, spiritual) values (Daily, 1997; UK National Ecosystem Assessment, 2011) and have taken center stage in the policy and practices of natural resources management. Ecosystem services serve as a bridge to integrate people and nature, especially in rural areas where the development depends more on farming, forestry, and fishing (Goldman, 2010;Sagie et al, 2013) and bring opportunities to deal with development and environmental conservation issues at the same time. An acute awareness of the value of ecosystem services and interactions among them would be helpful to maximize the utility of natural resources and pave a way to simultaneously achieve environmental protection and development.…”

Poverty reduction and environmental protection are two global tasks for sustainable development. The study perspective has changed over time, from narrowly focusing on poverty reduction to comprehensively strengthening human-welfare. We reviewed key references targeting the theoretical content and practical approach relying on poverty, environment protection and ecosystem services. We discussed the contradicting views on the relationship of poverty and environmental degradation, and then illustrated the study progress of a cutting-age topic-ecosystem services which pave a way to address poverty reduction and environmental protection together. At last, we investigated essential factors that affect the development and environmental protection. Considering the evolution of the concept of poverty, we found that the environment has occupied an increasing proportion in the cognizance of poverty. The relationship between poverty and environmental degradation is regional uniqueness. In practical aspect, projects based on the management and valuation assessment of ecosystem services draw researchers′ attention all over the world. The appropriate scale, essential economic incentives, morality, law and social equality are key factors affecting individuals′ decisions which directly relate to the sustainable development.

“…The same ecosystem function may be perceived as ES by some people and EDS by other people (cf. Saunders and Luck, 2016), depending on, among other things, acquired knowledge, people's behaviours, and overall political, economic and social settings (Rasmussen et al, 2016;Stoll et al, 2015). Configuration of anthropogenic pressures as well as provision and perceptions of ES and EDS may vary spatially, temporally and between individuals or societal groups (Chan et al, 2012;.…”

“…Yet, EDS have seldom been considered in the context of broader socialecological challenges (Saunders and Luck, 2016;, such as plant invasions. Plant invaders provide both benefits (Tassin and Kull, 2015) and nuisances (Simberloff et al, 2013) for human wellbeing, depending on people's preferences and the spatio-temporal context (Kueffer and Kull, 2017).…”

Integrating ecosystem services and disservices: insights from plant invasions

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There is growing interest in ecosystem disservices, i.e. the negative effects of ecosystems on humans. The focus on disservices has been controversial because of the lack of clarity on how to disentangle ecosystem services and disservices related to human wellbeing. A perspective that considers both services and disservices is needed to inform objective decision-making. We propose a comprehensive typology of ecosystem disservices, and present a framework for integrating ecosystem services and disservices for human wellbeing linked to ecosystem functioning.
