生态系统服务已经成为表达人们赋予生态系统各种功能的价值的主流概念。尽管这一概念的提出启动了大量研究，但在利用这一知识进行可持续资源利用方面的进展仍然不足。我们认为有必要扩大研究范围，以回答三个关键问题，我们认为这将促进将生态系统服务研究纳入可持续利用自然资源的决策，以改善人类福祉：(1)生态系统服务如何由社会-生态系统共同产生；(2)谁从提供生态系统服务中受益；(3)生态系统服务治理的最佳做法是什么？在这里，我们提出了这些关键问题、这些问题背后的基本原理，以及它们在旨在改善可持续生态系统管理的全球协调研究计划中面临的相关科学挑战。这些问题将框定生态服务的活动，该项目以前是DIVERSITAS项目，现在是未来地球的项目，其作用是通过生态系统服务的视角促进多学科可持续性科学的全球协调。
Ecosystem services have become a mainstream concept for the expression of values assigned by people to various functions of ecosystems. Even though the introduction of the concept has initiated a vast amount of research, progress in using this knowledge for sustainable resource use remains insufficient. We see a need to broaden the scope of research to answer three key questions that we believe will improve incorporation of ecosystem service research into decision-making for the sustainable use of natural resources to improve human well-being: (i) how are ecosystem services co-produced by social-ecological systems, (ii) who benefits from the provision of ecosystem services, and (iii) what are the best practices for the governance of ecosystem services? Here, we present these key questions, the rationale behind them, and their related scientific challenges in a globally coordinated research programme aimed towards improving sustainable ecosystem management. These questions will frame the activities of ecoSERVICES, formerly a DIVERSITAS project and now a project of Future Earth, in its role as a platform to foster global coordination of multidisciplinary sustainability science through the lens of ecosystem services.
