Ecosystem services research has grown in importance over the last decade. Researchers have reviewed recent advances and challenges in this field. They found that ecosystem services can benefit humans in many ways, but how they are classified can vary based on the research goal. To manage ecosystem services effectively, it's crucial to understand their ecological and economic characteristics, like complexity and scale. The connection between ecosystems and human well-being relies on the interaction between human demands and the supply of ecosystem services. Multiple types of values, such as practical and non-practical values, come into play when deciding how to use ecosystem services. Developing a system that considers these various values can help estimate the worth of ecosystem services accurately.
