“Ecosystem services” (ES) are the ecological characteristics, functions, or processes that directly or indirectly contribute to human well-being – the benefits people derive from functioning ecosystems. Ecosystem processes and functions may contribute to ecosystem services but they are not synonymous. Ecosystem processes and functions describe biophysical relationships and exist regardless of whether or not humans benefits. Ecosystem services, on the other hand, only exist if they contribute to human well-being and cannot be defined independently.

W niektórych sytuacjach występują kolizje pomiędzy pożytkami z funkcjonowania układów przyrodniczych a innymi czynnikami wpływającymi na dobrobyt ludzi. W okolicznościach, gdy trzeba podejmować tego typu nieuniknione, choć trudne do rozstrzygnięcia decyzje, wsparciem może być wycena świadczeń ekosystemów. Niniejsza praca wyjaśnia niektóre kontrowersje związane z definiowaniem pozytywnego wpływu procesów w ekosystemach na ludzki dobrobyt, bez względu na to, czy ludzie uświadamiają sobie ten wpływ, czy też nie. Sklasyfikowano i opisano obszary problemowe, w których zastosowanie mają różne metody szacowania korzyści płynących ze świadczeń ekosystemów. Przedstawiono też kilka najnowszych studiów przypadku oraz rozwój badań nad wyceną świadczeń ekosystemów.
