Reduction of physiological stress by urban green space in a multisensory virtual experiment

TL;DR: It is indicated that olfactory stimuli may be better at facilitating stress reduction than visual stimuli and currently, urban planners prioritise visual stimuli when planning open green spaces, but urban planners should also consider multisensory qualities.

Where are Cultural and Social in Ecosystem Services? A Framework for Constructive Engagement

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a framework for ecosystem services research and practice, addressing three challenges: (1) non-material values are ill suited to characterization using monetary methods; (2) it is difficult to unequivocally link particular changes in socioecological systems to cultural benefits; and (3) cultural benefits are associated with many services, not just cultural ES.
