The article discusses how ecosystems provide benefits to society, like food and clean water, and how these benefits can be used to make decisions about land use. The researchers created a framework to help make decisions about ecosystem services, but found that current research doesn't cover all the necessary steps. They also studied how climate change and urbanization will affect ecosystem services in Central Chile by 2050, showing that these changes will put pressure on the region's resources.
