Unmanaged wild and alien plants in semi-natural landscapes support livelihoods of low-income households in southern Java, Indonesia
Open AccessDwi Setyo Aji, T A Groen et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2026
In tropical regions of Southern Java, semi-natural landscapes host plants that people collect and use. However, their utilisation patterns remain poorly understood. This study examines how unmanaged plants collected from semi-natural landscapes contribute to the livelihoods of low-income households in southern Java, Indonesia. We examine which plants are collected, how they support livelihoods, and how the use varies across space and season. We i…
Mapping and quantifying nature’s contributions to people underpinning international food trade: The case of the Brazilian coffee and soy supply-chains
Open AccessGabriela Rabeschini, Antonio Castro et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2026References: 14
Global food systems are dependent on nature’s contributions to people (NCP), yet the role of such contributions in international trade is largely underrecognised. Using publicly available data on the configuration of natural and cultural landscapes, we developed a spatially-explicit approach to map, quantify and trace a regulating NCP (wild pollination) and a non-material NCP (supporting identities) underpinning Brazilian coffee and soy supply-ch…
The role of nature's contributions to people in sustaining international trade of agricultural products
Open AccessAlexandra Marques, Aletta Bonn et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024
Nature's contributions to people (NCP) are essential for the production and trade of agricultural, forestry and fishery commodities. Often, there is a spatial disconnect between consumers and the natural systems where the commodities are produced. Traded agricultural products are therefore dependent on nature and NCP in their region of origin. The dependencies of agricultural products on NCP are, however, insufficiently recognised by consumers an…

Nature living in, from, with, and as people: Exploring a mirrored use of the Life Framework of Values
Open AccessLouise Willemen, Jasper O Kenter et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2023Cited by: 1References: 13
The Life Frames of Values, recently endorsed by Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, articulate four different ways nature matters to people living in, from, with, and as nature. These frames distinguish value perceptions of, and ways to communicate about, the living world. We look to expand understandings of nature in the Life framework by exploring whether the Life Frames could be mirrored to capture…
Structuring the complexity of integrated landscape approaches into selectable, scalable, and measurable attributes
Open AccessPatrick O Waeber, Rachel Carmenta et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2023Cited by: 1References: 16
Integrated landscape approaches (ILA) aim to reconcile multiple, often competing, interests across agriculture, nature conservation, and other land uses. Recognized ILA design principles provide guidance for implementation, yet application remains challenging, and a strong performance evidence-base is yet to be formed. Through a critical literature review and focus group discussions with practitioners, we identified considerable diversity of ILA …
Winegrowers’ decision-making: A pan-European perspective on pesticide use and inter-row management
Open AccessYang Chen, Rafael Alcalá Herrera et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2022Cited by: 2References: 8
European viticultural landscapes not only support a significant share of rural livelihoods and cultural traditions, but also conserve biodiversity and sustain various ecosystem services. Winegrowers' practices of inter-row management (including whether to have vegetation in the inter-rows, type of vegetation, duration of vegetation cover, and soil tillage) and pesticide use (including herbicides in the inter-rows, fungicides, insecticides, and ph…
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the Ipbes science-policy platform
Open AccessCarla-Leanne Washbourne, Nicolas Dendoncker et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2020
The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures insights from ecosystem services (ES) researchers and practitioners, largely drawing from the European context (referred to herein as ‘ES community’), on this key science–policy interface. We synthesize reflections from a workshop…
How to halt the global decline of lands
Open AccessLouise Willemen, Nichole N Barger et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2020Cited by: 2References: 3
The assessment of land degradation and restoration by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services shows that land degradation across the globe is a wide and severe issue and is showing no signs of slowing down. This trend must be halted and reversed

Mapping ecosystem services for policy support and decision making in the European Union

Mainstreaming ecosystem services into policy and decision making is dependent on the availability of spatially explicit information on the state and trends of ecosystems and their services. In particular, the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 addresses the need to account for ecosystem services through biophysical mapping and valuation. This paper reviews current mapping methods, identifies current knowledge gaps and provides the elements for a me…
