The study focuses on understanding how different aspects of nature help humans. It looks at comparing the benefits we get from ecosystems, like clean water or food, and how they affect our well-being. The researchers examined two ways to see which ecosystem services are in conflict and how they impact our lives: one comparing maps and the other using specially designed landscapes. They found that these techniques can help us see trade-offs between different services provided by nature and choose the best solutions for balancing these benefits.
