The objectives of this chapter are: (i) to link the conceptual definition of ES with implementable indicators and methods to quantify ES useful for monitoring, and (ii) review tools for a landscape approach to ecosystem structure and function that is consistent with the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment ES concepts. Throughout this chapter we use the term ecosystem services (ES) to describe the four services: provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting provided by ecosystems, while the environmental services as ecosystem services minus the provisioning services.
