Resource description:
Ecosystem service assessments should be ‘issue-driven’. They can be done to gain new insights, to make a strong argument, to start a discussion, to help settle a negotiation, to enhance a planning process, or to reach a decision.
There are many different methods for doing an assessment. Helping make sense of these methods is the reason for the Methods Navigator.
