从事生态系统服务（ES）科学研究的科学家从事的是一门使命驱动的学科。它们可以为科学-政策界面做出贡献，共同生产和使用知识。科学家如何参与治理领域以调动他们的知识仍然是个人选择的问题，受到个人价值观的影响。环境科学不能被认为是中立的，对形成它的价值观的讨论是可持续性对话的重要组成部分。我们提出了一个简单的决策树来帮助ES科学家确定他们的角色和他们所产生的知识的目的。我们描述了六种理想的科学姿态，涵盖了科学-政策界面中的可能角色（纯科学家，科学仲裁者-担保人，问题倡导者-监护人，官员，诚实的经纪人和秘密的问题倡导者），并通过采访反馈来说明它们。我们鼓励生态系统科学家对他们对知识生产和使用的态度进行反思性探索，以期对生态系统评估的政治和伦理重要性有更高的认识。
Scientists working on ecosystem service (ES) science are engaged in a mission-driven discipline. They can contribute to science-policy interfaces where knowledge is co-produced and used. How scientists engage with the governance arena to mobilise their knowledge remains a matter of personal choice, influenced by individual values. ES science cannot be considered neutral and a discussion of the values that shape it forms an important part of the sustainability dialogue. We propose a simple decision tree to help ES scientists identify their role and the purpose of the knowledge they produce. We characterise six idealised scientific postures spanning possible roles at the science-policy interface (pure scientist, science arbiter-guarantor, issue advocate-guardian, officer, honest broker and stealth issue advocate) and illustrate them with feedbacks from interviews. We encourage ES scientists to conduct a reflexive exploration of their attitudes regarding knowledge production and use, with the intention of progressing toward a higher recognition of the political and ethical importance of ES assessments.
