生物多样性与迅速扩大的生态系统服务研究和政策领域之间的关系令人困惑，正在破坏制定连贯政策的努力。使用广泛接受的生物多样性公约的生物多样性的定义和英国国家生态系统评估的工作，我们表明，生物多样性在各级生态系统服务层次结构的关键作用：作为一个监管机构的基础生态系统过程，作为一个最终的生态系统服务，并作为一个很好的，是受估值，无论是经济或其他方面。生态系统科学和实践尚未吸收这种复杂关系的教训，这表明迫切需要发展生态系统管理的跨学科科学，将生态学家，保护生物学家，资源经济学家和其他人聚集在一起。
The relationship between biodiversity and the rapidly expanding research and policy field of ecosystem services is confused and is damaging efforts to create coherent policy. Using the widely accepted Convention on Biological Diversity definition of biodiversity and work for the UK National Ecosystem Assessment we show that biodiversity has key roles at all levels of the ecosystem service hierarchy: as a regulator of underpinning ecosystem processes, as a final ecosystem service and as a good that is subject to valuation, whether economic or otherwise. Ecosystem science and practice has not yet absorbed the lessons of this complex relationship, which suggests an urgent need to develop the interdisciplinary science of ecosystem management bringing together ecologists, conservation biologists, resource economists and others.
