TL;DR: The notion of nature's contributions to people (NCP) was introduced by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) as mentioned in this paper, a joint global effort by governments, academia, and civil society to assess and promote knowledge of Earth's biodiversity and ecosystems and their contribution to human societies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and reflect on seven recurring critiques of the concept of ecosystem services and respective counter-arguments and contribute to a more structured debate between opponents and proponents of the ecosystem services concept.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a framework for the systematic selection of indicators, to assess the link between land management and ecosystem services provision in a spatially explicit manner, which can help to better understand these interactions and provide information for policy-makers to prioritise land management interventions.

TL;DR: This viewpoint paper presents a checklist to evaluate CSLF of ES indicators, which helps to detect and mitigate critical shortcomings in an early phase of the development process, and aids the development of effective indicators to inform actual policy decisions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors link the ecosystem service concept to sustainability outcomes operationalized in terms of justice, and position sustainability as an overarching goal which can be achieved through seven key strategies: equitable (1) intergenerational and intragenerational distribution, (3) interspecies distribution, fair procedures, recognition and participation, sufficiency, efficiency, and persistence.
