Abstract

Supporting ecosystem services constitute essential intermediate inputs in the production of final ecosystem goods and services. Typical examples include primary production, nutrient cycling and photosynthesis. Another set of services known as “regulating services” control and normalise ecosystem functioning and thus insure the benefits supplied by ecosystems (MEA 2005; Perrings C. Int J Ecol Econ Stat 6:8–22 (2002); Barbier et al. 2009; Simonit and Perrings. Ecol Econ 70(2011):1189–1199 (2011)). In spite of their crucial role as the basis of all other provisions of nature, the literature on valuing such regulating and supporting services is sparse, leaving an important gap in our knowledge of sustainable management of ecosystems for human well-being. Efforts to improve our scientific understanding of the complex nature of the involved dynamics of socioecological interactions that characterise the role and value of these services are therefore necessary for prudent ecosystem management.
