摘要：Social-ecological interactions have been shown to generate interrelated and reoccurring setsof ecosystem services, also known as ecosystem service bundles. Given the potential utility ofthe bundles concept, along with the recent surge in interest it is timely to reflect on theconcept, its current use and potential for the future. Based on our ecosystem service bundleexperience, expertise, and ecosystem service bundle analyses, we have found critical elements for advancing the utility of ecosystem service bundle concept and deepening itsimpact in the future. In this paper we 1) examine the different conceptualizations of theecosystem service bundle concept; 2) show the range of benefits of using a bundlesapproach; 3) explore key issues for improving research on ecosystem service bundles,including indicators, scale, and drivers and relationships between ecosystem services;and 4) outline priorities for the future by facilitating comparisons of ecosystem service bundleresearch.
