Mapping ecosystem service supply, demand and budgets
TLDR
In this paper, the authors present an easy-to-apply concept based on a matrix linking spatially explicit biophysical landscape units to ecological integrity, ecosystem service supply and demand, which reveals patterns of human activities over time and space as well as the capacities of different ecosystems to provide ecosystem services under changing land use.About:

Cultural Ecosystem Services: A Literature Review and Prospects for Future Research
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a semiquantitative review of publications explicitly dealing with cultural ecosystem services and identified five groups of publications: conceptual focus, conceptual focus deals with theoretical issues; Group 2, descriptive reviews, consists mostly of desktop studies; Group 3, localized outcomes, deals with case studies coming from different disciplines; Group 4, social and participatory, deals mainly with assessing preferences and perceptions; and Group 5, economic assessments, provides economic valuations.

TL;DR: A template and checklist of information needed for those beginning an ecosystem service modelling and mapping study will reduce the uncertainty associated with quantifying ecosystem services and thereby help to close the gap between theory and practice.
