TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a spatially explicit modeling tool, integrated valuation of ecosystem services and tradeoffs (InVEST), to predict changes in ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, and commodity production levels.

TL;DR: The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework as discussed by the authors, which will underpin all IPBES functions and provide structure and comparability to the syntheses that will produce at different spatial scales, on different themes, and in different regions.

TL;DR: Why ecosystem service information has yet to fundamentally change decision-making is explored and a path forward is suggested that emphasizes developing solid evidence linking decisions to impacts on natural capital and ecosystem services, and then to human well-being.

TL;DR: In this article, a vision for ECOSYSTEM services in decision making is presented, along with a multiotime-based model for computing services in DECISIONS, and extensions, applications, and the next generation of computing service assessments.

TL;DR: This framework emerges from detailed explorations of several case studies in which biodiversity conservation and economic development coincide and cases in which there is joint failure, and emphasizes that scientific advances around ecosystem service production functions, tradeoffs among multiple ecosystem services, and the design of appropriate monitoring programs are necessary for the implementation of conservation and development projects that will successfully advance both environmental and social goals.
