Resource description:
As was stated in the OpenNESS proposal, the quantitative relationship between biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services is still poorly understood. It is still unclear under what circumstances an emphasis on ecosystem services in planning and decision making is (conceptually and practically) supportive of the protection of biodiversity, or when the two aims might be conflicting. Other conceptual issues are briefly highlighted under the paragraph on 'problems'.
