The article explores how the size and scope of management efforts impact the production of ecosystem services. By analyzing different types of responses to management interventions, the researchers show how the scale at which these interventions are implemented can affect the relationships between multiple ecosystem services. They found that the shape of these relationships can change depending on the spatial scale of management, leading to different trade-offs and synergies between services. Ultimately, the study provides insights on how landscape design and intervention placement can influence the balance of ecosystem services in real-world settings.
