“…In recent years, the investigation the relationship between ecosystem management and the provision of the total bundle of ES has become a major field in ES studies ( e.g ., ). The synergies and trade‐offs between ES provided to different users under current and alternative scenarios have significant implications for decision‐making.…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential of ecosystem services (ES) research to support policy and decision-making. As the ES concept is a multitier framework, there is no ideal entry point for conducting useful ES analysis. The entry point depends on the particular empirical or policy question being researched. The information on ES potential can contribute to the management of ecosystems, which provides services, including identification of priority conservation and restoration areas. Understanding the ES flows helps to protect paths needed to transmit the services to users. The demand for ES determines society's ambitions for sustainable management and ensuring a continuous supply of desired services. In turn, budget analyses allow identification of supply-demand mismatches across landscapes, and point out the appropriate institutional scale for environmental decision-making. The benefit of trade-offs analysis is weighing the improvements in one ES against the decrease of another. Finally, the specific configuration of rivalry and excludability of particular services enables the arrangement of an appropriate scheme of payments for ES. The complex recognition of the range of possible ES mapping and assessment products can help to match the ES analysis with policy goals.Once we identify a good entry point for examining a specific policy question, we can adequately embed the planned study within the ES framework.

“…The potential service supply was modelled based on a constructed land cover map derived from potential vegetation types. Harmackova and Vackar (2015) assessed the outcomes of regulating ecosystem service trade-offs from alternative scenarios in a Czech Wetlands Biosphere Reserve. They found out that regulating ecosystem service values were highest under a nature conservation scenario whereas an exploitation scenario would lead to net carbon losses.…”

“…Second, many ESV models can dynamically assess the spatial heterogeneity of ESV but fail to distinguish the effects of climate change and land-use change on ESV (Harmáčková and Vačkář 2015), such as the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) which is a suite of software models used to map and value the goods and services from nature that sustain and fulfill human life. First, the proxy method is usually adopted to assess the ESV, which generates great uncertainties.…”
