Title: | Limitations of the ecosystem services versus disservices dichotomy | Contributor(s): | Saunders, Manu (author) ; Luck, Gary W (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1111/cobi.12740 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/22855 | Abstract: | Ongoing debate over the ecosystem services (ES) concept highlights a range of contrasting views and misconceptions. Schröter et al. (2014) summarize seven recurring arguments against the ES concept, which broadly relate to ethical concerns, translation across the science-policy interface, and how the concept's normative aims and optimistic assumptions affect ES as a scientific approach. In particular, recent criticism has focused on how the concept is unable to address ecological complexity due to the limitations of the economic stock-flow model that ES is based on (Norgaard 2010). Acknowledging ecosystem disservices (EDS) (i.e., outcomes of ecosystem functions that negatively affect human communities) has been suggested as a way to account for this ecological complexity (McCauley 2006; Lyytimäki 2015). | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/DP140100709 | Source of Publication: | Conservation Biology, 30(6), p. 1363-1365 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1523-1739 0888-8892 |
