随着人们对生态系统服务对减贫贡献的兴趣日益增加，我们提出了一个新的概念框架，综合了社会生态系统科学和国际发展现有框架的见解。人们从生态系统服务中受益的能力各不相同，该框架强调获得服务的机会，这可能比总体可获得性更能限制最贫穷者。还对生态系统服务类别进行了区分，因为它们对福祉的贡献、提供服务和现金相对容易控制。该框架为理解生态系统服务付费对福祉的贡献提供了分析空间，与直接生态系统服务不同。它还强调了外部行为体通过土地征用或农业商品对生态系统服务的消费。在减贫和预防贫穷之间，以及在人类为应对环境变化而采取的适应和减缓措施之间，作出了重要的概念区分。该框架具有作为思维工具的应用程序，列出了重要的关系，以便分析师可以在特定情况下识别和理解这些关系。最直接的是，这具有研究应用，作为多学科、与政策有关的研究的基础，但也有应用，以支持实践者追求环境可持续性和减贫的联合政策目标。(C)2013作者由Elsevier B.

As interest grows in the contribution of ecosystem services to poverty alleviation, we present a new conceptual framework, synthesizing insights from existing frameworks in social-ecological systems science and international development. People have differentiated abilities to benefit from ecosystem services, and the framework places emphasis on access to services, which may constrain the poorest more than aggregate availability. Distinctions are also made between categories of ecosystem service in their contribution to wellbeing, provisioning services and cash being comparatively easy to control. The framework gives analytical space for understanding the contribution of payments for ecosystem services to wellbeing, as distinct from direct ecosystem services. It also highlights the consumption of ecosystem services by external actors, through land appropriation or agricultural commodities. Important conceptual distinctions are made between poverty reduction and prevention, and between human response options of adaptation and mitigation in response to environmental change. The framework has applications as a thinking tool, laying out important relationships such that an analyst could identify and understand these in a particular situation. Most immediately, this has research applications, as a basis for multidisciplinary, policy-relevant research, but there are also applications to support practitioners in pursuing joint policy objectives of environmental sustainability and poverty alleviation.
