  • Valuation of changes in ecosystems based on their impact on quality of life

    Open AccessSjerp de Vries, Roy P Remme et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2026References: 4

    The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) advocates a pluralistic approach to valuation, focusing among others on quality of life (QoL) as endpoint. We take this latter suggestion forward and outline a QoL-approach to the valuation of changes in ecosystems and their services, based on subjective wellbeing. Although such an approach is not new, it has hardly been applied to the valuation of nature…

  • Solution to what? Global assessment of nature-based solutions, urban challenges, and outcomes

    Open AccessMeng Li, Roy P Remme et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2025

    Global assessment of 547 nature-based solutions (NbS) cases in 196 cities. • This study systematically links urban challenges, NbS and outcomes. • Urban NbS mostly demonstrated positive effects compared to non-NbS. • Widely studied challenges include health, biodiversity loss and urban heat island. • Reported outcomes are commonly related, true multifunctionality assessment missing. In response to multiple societal challenges faced in cities, nat…

  • Assessing multiple ecosystem services in 708 European urban areas

    Open AccessClara J Veerkamp, Frank van Rijn et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2024

    Nature is increasingly recognized for its potential to address societal challenges in cities, through the delivery of ecosystem services (ES). However, large-scale assessments quantifying this potential are rare. In this study, we modelled five ES (local temperature regulation, flood control, global climate regulation, habitat maintenance, and human interaction with nature) across 708 European urban areas. Using a supply-demand approach, we asses…

  • Biosphere Futures

    Open AccessJan J Kuiper, Jan Kuiper et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2024Cited by: 2

    Biosphere Futures (https://biospherefutures.net/) is a new online database to collect and discover scenario studies from across the world, with a specific focus on scenarios that explicitly incorporate interdependencies between humans and their supporting ecosystems. It provides access to a globally diverse collection of case studies that includes most ecosystems and regions, enabling exploration of the multifaceted ways in which the future might…

  • Cugic

    Open AccessJoeri Morpurgo, Roy P Remme et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    Green infrastructure (GI) classifications are widely applied to predict and assess its suitability for urban biodiversity and ecosystem service (ES) provisioning. However, there is no consolidated classification, which hampers elucidating synthesis and consolidated relationships across ES and biodiversity. In this research, we aim to bridge the gap between urban GI research on ES and biodiversity by providing a standardized common classification …

  • Centring justice in conceptualizing and improving access to urban nature

    Open AccessKelley E Langhans, Alejandra Echeverri et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    As humanity has become increasingly urban, a growing number of people have been deprived of access to nature and the benefits it provides. This is especially true for marginalized groups, who often live in neighbourhoods where nature has been so diminished and degraded that it provides fewer types, and much lower levels of benefits. We review the literatures on human–nature relationships, urban sustainability and justice to create an actionable d…

  • Exploring desirable nature futures for Nationaal Park Hollandse Duinen

    Open AccessJan J Kuiper, Dianneke van Wijk et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2022

    Achieving global sustainability goals requires most people and societies to fundamentally revisit their relationship with nature. New approaches are called for to guide change processes towards sustainable futures that embrace the plurality of people’s desired relationships with nature. This paper presents a novel approach to exploring desirable futures for nature and people that was developed through an application in Nationaal Park Hollandse Du…

  • An ecosystem service perspective on urban nature, physical activity, and health

    Open AccessRoy P Remme, Howard Frumkin et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2021

    Nature underpins human well-being in critical ways, especially in health. Nature provides pollination of nutritious crops, purification of drinking water, protection from floods, and climate security, among other well-studied health benefits. A crucial, yet challenging, research frontier is clarifying how nature promotes physical activity for its many mental and physical health benefits, particularly in densely populated cities with scarce and dw…

  • Ecosystem Services as a Contested Concept

    Open AccessMatthias Schröter, Emma H van der Zanden et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2014

    We describe and reflect on seven recurring critiques of the concept of ecosystem services and respective counter‐arguments. First, the concept is criticized for being anthropocentric, whereas others argue that it goes beyond instrumental values. Second, some argue that the concept promotes an exploitative human–nature relationship, whereas others state that it reconnects society to ecosystems, emphasizing humanity's dependence on nature. Third, c…
