Considering diversity of non-material values of nature in environmental management can improve equity outcomes of management actions. But research on non-material values faces many challenges, including (1) how to balance the richness of qualitative analyses with the summative power from quantitative analyses; (2) how to phrase questions that elicit meaningful information without leading study participants; and (3) how to understand the diversity of people’s experiences of nature-related values.

We explored the potential of one-question interviews, a modified version of the freelisting method, to confront these challenges. We asked 330 individuals on reef-adjacent beaches in West Hawaiʻi one of two questions to (1) test the efficacy of the method to elucidate both quantitative and qualitative differences between different user groups’ non-material values; (2) test how question choice might impact results; and (3) identify differences in the values mentioned by residents vs. non-residents and Native Hawaiians vs. non-Native Hawaiians. We found that one-question interviews gather meaningful and complementary information on non-material values, and that question choice matters: the two questions yielded different proportions of mentions of non-material values. Finally, controlling for question type, we found significant differences in which values were mentioned by participants of different backgrounds, as well as qualitative differences in how participants of different backgrounds discussed the same values.

Our findings suggest that one-question interviews generate a mix of qualitative and quantitative data which can reveal nuances that might be missed if only surveys or long-form interviews are used. Data obtained with this approach can contribute to recognition justice and help address equity concerns associated with managing a resource based on a particular value set, particularly when they are conflicts between users. These findings can inform management and studies of non-material values in diverse contexts.

在环境管理中考虑自然非物质价值的多样性可以提高管理行为的公平性。但非物质价值研究面临诸多挑战，包括：(1)如何平衡定性分析的丰富性与定量分析的总结性；(2)如何在不引导研究参与者的情况下提出问题，以引出有意义的信息；(3)如何理解人们与自然相关的价值观体验的多样性。为了应对这些挑战，我们探索了单问题访谈的潜力，这是自由列表方法的改进版本。我们在夏威夷西部珊瑚礁附近的海滩上询问了330个人，其中有两个问题：(1)测试该方法的有效性，以阐明不同用户群体的非物质价值之间的定量和定性差异；(2)检验问题选择对结果的影响；(3)识别居民与非居民、夏威夷原住民与非夏威夷原住民所提到的价值观的差异。我们发现，一个问题的访谈收集了非物质价值的有意义和补充的信息，问题的选择很重要：两个问题产生了不同比例的提到非物质价值。最后，在控制问题类型的情况下，我们发现不同背景的参与者所提到的价值观存在显著差异，不同背景的参与者讨论相同价值观的方式也存在质的差异。我们的研究结果表明，一个问题的访谈产生了定性和定量数据的混合，可以揭示如果只使用调查或长形式访谈可能会错过的细微差别。使用这种方法获得的数据有助于识别的公平性，并有助于解决与基于特定值集管理资源相关的公平性问题，特别是当它们是用户之间的冲突时。这些发现可以为不同背景下的非物质价值的管理和研究提供信息。

Ecosystem services (ES) are integral to environmental justice, in particular because they unevenly contribute to the well-being of different communities. Effective ES management and governance can promote equitable access and ensure that marginalized groups are not excluded from ES benefits, while recognizing the interests of multiple stakeholders and fostering fair decision making. Although environmental justice is a multifaceted concept that encompasses distributive, procedural, and recognition dimensions, most of the research on justice in ES has focused primarily on distributional aspects. Recent reviews indicate a growing interest in integrating environmental justice concerns with ES, but also highlight gaps in understanding how the relationship between justice and ES is framed and studied in different contexts. We conducted a systematic review of the scientific literature to identify the predominant framings of the relationship between ES and justice. Through a qualitative and quantitative analysis of 217 articles, examined from an environmental justice perspective, we identified five distinct framings, i.e. particular conceptualizations of the relationship between ES and justice that ultimately influence what (in)justices can be rendered visible or invisible. Each of the framings ‘Space’, ‘Access’, ‘Values’, ‘PES’ (Payment for ES), and ‘Management’ is associated with specific research questions and methods on ES, as well as specific perspectives and findings on justice. The plurality of framings identified in this review underscores the conceptual complexity of environmental justice and highlights the importance of engaging with diverse perspectives when addressing justice in relation to ES.

生态系统服务是环境正义不可或缺的组成部分，特别是因为它们对不同社区福祉的贡献并不均衡。有效的生态系统管理和治理可以促进公平获取，确保边缘化群体不被排除在生态系统福利之外，同时承认多个利益攸关方的利益，促进公平决策。虽然环境正义是一个多方面的概念，包括分配、程序和认可维度，但大多数关于环境正义的研究主要集中在分配方面。最近的评论表明，人们对将环境正义问题与环境科学相结合的兴趣日益浓厚，但也突出了在理解如何在不同背景下构建和研究环境正义与环境科学之间的关系方面的差距。我们对科学文献进行了系统的回顾，以确定ES与正义之间关系的主要框架。通过对217篇文章的定性和定量分析，从环境正义的角度进行了检查，我们确定了五个不同的框架，即ES与正义之间关系的特定概念，这些概念最终影响了正义的可见或不可见。“空间”、“获取”、“价值”、“PES”和“管理”的每一个框架都与社会经济体系的具体研究问题和方法，以及关于正义的具体观点和发现有关。本次审查中确定的多种框架强调了环境正义概念的复杂性，并强调了在解决与环境正义有关的正义问题时参与不同观点的重要性。

The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA-EA) was set as an international standard framework for integrating and relating economic and environmental statistical data. Since its adoption in 2021, several scientific efforts have been established to operationalise it. Systematic literature reviews are essential for providing a comprehensive worldview on specific topics, exploring gaps, and defining future directions. In this study, we systematically review ecosystem accounting studies in the context of SEEA-EA and collate information on several aspects of its multiple accounts: ecosystem extent, condition, ecosystem services and assets. To narrow the scope, we focus our research on three ecosystem types: urban, forest and coastal and marine ecosystems. The results showed an increasing interest in the topic among scientists. Most of the works were published between 2014 and 2024 (75 studies – 98.68%) and conducted in Europe and Oceania (61 studies – 80.26%). Ecosystem extent and services (monetary) were the most studied aspects; however, most studies do not compile information on opening/closing tables. The revised studies covered other ecosystem types besides the target ones (e.g., croplands). Extent accounts were compiled mainly using European and National land cover datasets. Condition accounts were mostly compiled based on compositional state characteristics, especially using biophysical indicators. Most studies failed to define reference conditions. Regarding ecosystem services (ES), most studies focused on physical and monetary accounts, using mixed methodological approaches. Most works assessed one section, primarily regulating & maintenance ES. Statistical data and market prices for biophysical and economic methodologies were preferred methods. Validation and mapping were not considered in the majority of the works. Future priorities, which are also challenges, on applying the SEEA-EA include developing guidance for (1) systematically defining appropriate reference conditions, (2) validating ES modelling outputs or at least reporting uncertainty levels, and (3) making the connection, often missing, between condition and ES accounts.

环境经济核算制度是作为综合和联系经济和环境统计数据的国际标准框架而设立的。自2021年通过以来，已经开展了几项科学工作来实施该计划。系统的文献综述对于提供关于特定主题的全面世界观、探索差距和确定未来方向至关重要。在本研究中，我们系统地回顾了SEEA-EA背景下的生态系统会计研究，并整理了其多个账户的几个方面的信息：生态系统范围、条件、生态系统服务和资产。为了缩小研究范围，我们将研究重点放在城市生态系统、森林生态系统以及沿海和海洋生态系统这三种生态系统类型上。研究结果表明，科学家对这一话题的兴趣日益浓厚。大部分作品发表于2014年至2024年之间（75篇研究，占98.68%），在欧洲和大洋洲进行（61篇研究，占80.26%）。生态系统范围和服务（货币）是研究最多的方面；然而，大多数研究没有汇编关于开/关表的信息。修订后的研究涵盖了除目标生态系统（如农田）之外的其他生态系统类型。范围计算主要使用欧洲和国家土地覆盖数据集编制。条件帐户大多是根据成分状态特征编制的，特别是使用生物物理指标。大多数研究未能确定参考条件。关于生态系统服务（ES），大多数研究集中在物理和货币账户，使用混合的方法方法。大多数作品评估一个部分，主要是调节&；维护ES。统计数据和市场价格是生物物理和经济方法的首选方法。在大多数工作中没有考虑验证和映射。在应用SEEA-EA时，未来的优先事项（也是挑战）包括制定以下指导：(1)系统地定义适当的参考条件，(2)验证ES建模输出或至少报告不确定性水平，以及(3)在条件和ES账户之间建立经常缺失的联系。

The cryosphere, which refers to the parts of the Earth’s surface where water is in solid form, is a major contributor to human wellbeing through the provision of vital ecosystem services. These include, e.g., groundwater recharge, water storage and purification, climate regulation, and diverse cultural and spiritual benefits. A systematized classification of ecosystem services can be used to define, measure, and value the ways in which the cryosphere contributes to society and to communicate these benefits in a clear, transparent and scientifically sound way, yet, it has been missing to date. This study builds on previous literature exploring the cryosphere’s positive and negative impacts on human wellbeing in the context of rapid climate change. It further organises this knowledge on a global scale with a view to enhancing scientific exploration and policy guidance, along with facilitating comparability between different studies. Our research applies the Search-Appraisal-Synthesis-Analysis (SALSA) literature review method and the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) to source and systemise the existing information on ecosystem services and disservices provided by the cryosphere, and possible indicators for monitoring their changes are identified. A total of 30 ecosystem services and 10 disservices were identified, together with indicators that could be used to monitor their trends in biophysical, economic, and sociocultural terms. Our research finds that the cryosphere continues to provide vital ecosystem services despite accelerated retreat of glaciers and other cryospheric components, but also an increasing amount of ecosystem disservices because of global climate change. Monitoring trends in the cryosphere’s contributions to human wellbeing has the potential to inform adaptive governance in fast-changing cryospheric environments.

冰冻圈是指地球表面水以固体形式存在的部分，通过提供重要的生态系统服务，对人类福祉作出了重大贡献。其中包括地下水补给、水储存和净化、气候调节以及各种文化和精神效益。系统的生态系统服务分类可用于定义、测量和评估冰冻圈对社会的贡献方式，并以清晰、透明和科学合理的方式传达这些益处，然而，迄今为止还缺乏这种分类。这项研究建立在先前的文献基础上，探讨了在快速气候变化的背景下冰冻圈对人类福祉的积极和消极影响。它进一步在全球范围内组织这些知识，以期加强科学探索和政策指导，同时促进不同研究之间的可比性。我们的研究采用搜索-评估-综合-分析（SALSA）文献综述方法和国际生态系统服务共同分类（CICES）来获取和系统化冰冻圈提供的生态系统服务和危害的现有信息，并确定了监测其变化的可能指标。共确定了30种生态系统服务和10种有害服务，以及可用于监测其生物物理、经济和社会文化趋势的指标。我们的研究发现，尽管冰川和其他冰冻圈成分加速退缩，但由于全球气候变化，生态系统的危害也在增加，冰冻圈继续提供重要的生态系统服务。监测冰冻圈对人类福祉贡献的趋势有可能为快速变化的冰冻圈环境中的适应性治理提供信息。

Concerns have been raised that payments for ecosystem services (PES) may crowd out land users’ non-monetary motivations to engage in conservation behavior. Especially once incentives are terminated, PES risk to be ineffective or even counterproductive. So far, research has produced mixed evidence. We present the first meta-analysis of studies that investigated crowding effects of PES through lab-in-the-field experiments with 2,894 real-world resource users taking 44,540 conservation decisions. On average, PES are successful in increasing conservation behavior and do not crowd out conservation behavior once incentives have been terminated. Although PES demonstrate greater effectiveness in settings where local resource users directly benefit compared to settings where third parties benefit, there is no evidence suggesting systematic differences in crowding effects between these two situations once PES have been terminated. Based on the available experimental evidence, the frequently voiced risk that PES crowd-out conservation, especially once payments are terminated, cannot be substantiated. However, methodological concerns regarding the internal and external validity of current experiments raise questions about the broader applicability of these findings. This paper outlines potential avenues for future research to address these challenges.

人们担心，生态系统服务（PES）的支付可能会排挤土地使用者参与保护行为的非金钱动机。特别是一旦激励措施终止，pe可能会失效甚至适得其反。到目前为止，研究得出的证据好坏参半。本文首次荟萃分析了通过对2,894名现实世界资源使用者进行的44,540项保护决策的实验室现场实验来调查PES拥挤效应的研究。平均而言，PES成功地增加了保护行为，并且一旦激励措施终止，不会排挤保护行为。尽管PES在本地资源使用者直接受益的情况下比第三方受益的情况下表现出更大的有效性，但没有证据表明，一旦PES终止，这两种情况之间的拥挤效应存在系统性差异。根据现有的实验证据，经常提出的PES挤占保护的风险，特别是一旦终止支付，是无法证实的。然而，关于当前实验的内部和外部有效性的方法学问题引发了对这些发现的更广泛适用性的质疑。本文概述了未来研究解决这些挑战的潜在途径。

The leverage points perspective is used increasingly in sustainability transformation research. Scholars have proposed three realms of leverage for the sustainability research agenda: human-environment interactions; institutional dynamics, and sustainability-related knowledge creation and use. However, studies aiming to better understand the role of cross-realm levers, which create parallel change in human-nature interactions, institutions, and knowledge production and use, remain scarce. To address this research gap, we provide an Ecosystem Services Governance (hereafter, ESGov¹) lens to conceptually and empirically investigate the potential cross-realm lever role of ESGov for sustainability transformations. Through theoretical and empirical analyses we: 1) identify the key features within the three sustainability transformation realms and analyze how ESGov can shape and influence them; 2) test the potential for ESGov to be a cross-realm lever for sustainability transformation using a case study from Agua Blanca (Ecuador); 3) navigate intra-realm dynamics, identifying features from diverse realms that may simultaneously be fostered by ESGov; and, 4) ultimately, contribute to the transformation, ecosystem services, and governance literatures by highlighting the enabling mechanisms within ESGov that can facilitate cross-realm sustainability transformation interventions. This study reveals that ESGov, when configured to embrace relational thinking, collaborative governance, and inclusive knowledge integration, can effectively serve as a cross-realm lever. Ultimately, we advocate for a shift from Ecosystem Services to ESGov framework as a means to catalyze cross-realm interventions, advancing sustainability through a nuanced understanding and designing of the dynamic interplay between society and the environment.

杠杆点视角在可持续转型研究中得到越来越多的应用。学者们提出了可持续性研究议程的三个杠杆领域：人与环境的相互作用；制度动态和与可持续性相关的知识创造和利用。然而，旨在更好地理解跨领域杠杆作用的研究仍然很少，这些杠杆在人与自然的相互作用、制度和知识的生产和使用中产生了平行的变化。为了解决这一研究差距，我们提供了一个生态系统服务治理（以下简称ESGov1）的视角，从概念上和实证上调查ESGov在可持续发展转型中的潜在跨领域杠杆作用。通过理论和实证分析，我们：1)确定三个可持续转型领域的关键特征，并分析ESGov如何塑造和影响它们；2)通过对厄瓜多尔阿瓜布兰卡的案例研究，测试ESGov作为可持续发展转型跨领域杠杆的潜力；3)驾驭领域内部动态，识别ESGov可能同时培育的不同领域的特征；4)最终，通过强调ESGov内部能够促进跨领域可持续性转型干预的支持机制，为转型、生态系统服务和治理文献做出贡献。本研究表明，当ESGov被配置为包含关系思维、协作治理和包容性知识整合时，可以有效地作为跨领域杠杆。最后，我们主张将生态系统服务框架转变为ESGov框架，以此作为催化跨领域干预的手段，通过对社会与环境之间动态相互作用的细致理解和设计来促进可持续性。

Buyer-driven governance arrangements have emerged as a promising innovative approach to mitigate the degradation of ecosystem services (ES) in agricultural landscapes. In such arrangements, ES buyers, such as consumers, support ES provision by remunerating farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices through market-based mechanisms, such as price premiums for (certified) sustainably produced products. In this context, effective compliance enforcement is essential, as it assures ES buyers that the services are delivered in accordance with agreed guidelines. Consequently, the level of trust ES buyers place in the organisation responsible for enforcing compliance is critical. We applied a discrete choice experiment to investigate ES buyers’ preferences for the organisation responsible for compliance enforcement for sustainably produced agricultural products. The survey used conventionally managed apple orchards in Germany as a case study and focused on the implementation of ES measures (flower strips, hedgerows, flower strips plus hedgerows, and mechanical weed control instead of chemical control) to support regulating (biological pest control and pollination), cultural (enhancement of landscape aesthetics), and provisioning ES (production of marketable fruits). To elicit preferences regarding compliance enforcement, the survey included four organisations: a state agency, a farmers’ association, a conservation NGO, and a representative body – composed of relevant societal actors collectively responsible for implementing compliance enforcement. The survey included a representative sample of 901 ES buyers (apple consumers) drawn from the German population. We find that most ES buyers trust conservation NGO, representative body, and farmers’ association, while less than half trust state agency; furthermore, ES buyers are willing to pay a substantially higher premium when a trusted organisation is enforcing compliance. Regarding ES measures, we find that ES buyers are willing to pay price premiums for all measures supporting ES provision, with higher premiums for mechanical weed control and the combination flower strips plus hedgerows.

买方驱动的治理安排已成为缓解农业景观中生态系统服务（ES）退化的一种有希望的创新方法。在这种安排中，消费者等生态系统购买者通过市场机制，如（经认证的）可持续生产产品的溢价，奖励农民采用可持续农业做法，从而支持提供生态系统。在这种情况下，有效的遵从性执行是必不可少的，因为它向ES购买者保证服务是按照商定的指导方针交付的。因此，ES购买者对负责执行合规性的组织的信任程度至关重要。我们采用离散选择实验来调查ES购买者对负责可持续生产农产品合规执行的组织的偏好。该调查以德国传统管理的苹果园为例，重点研究了ES措施（花条、树篱、花条加树篱，以及机械杂草控制而不是化学控制）的实施情况，以支持调节（生物害虫控制和授粉）、文化（增强景观美学）和供应ES（生产可销售的水果）。为了了解人们对合规执行的偏好，调查包括了四个组织：一个国家机构、一个农民协会、一个环保非政府组织和一个代表机构——由相关的社会行动者组成，共同负责实施合规执行。该调查包括901名德国消费者（苹果消费者）的代表性样本。研究发现，大多数ES购买者信任环保非政府组织、代表机构和农民协会，而信任国家机构的不到一半；此外，当一个值得信赖的组织执行合规性时，ES买家愿意支付高得多的溢价。在ES措施方面，我们发现ES购买者愿意为所有支持ES提供的措施支付溢价，其中机械除草和花带加树篱组合的溢价更高。

Land use and climate change are driving new dynamics for wildfires and ecosystems globally. In Europe, these drivers contribute to changes in fuel structures which affect the behavior, impact, and recurrence interval of wildfires. In response, there is interest in restoring historic fuel-relevant land management strategies and fire regimes which impact the condition and arrangement of fuels. Simultaneously, ecosystem function (e.g., carbon storage and biodiversity) is a cornerstone for European sustainability and climate adaptation policies such as the Green Deal. Thus, a nuanced approach to landscape management is needed which addresses wildfires concerns while also conserving ecosystem function. Research evaluating the interaction between wildfire and ecological function in Europe has largely been limited to local or regional assessments which can be difficult to translate to European-wide policy initiatives. Our study takes a continental perspective to map areas in which ecosystem function and wildfire may be interacting using data on recent fire activity, aboveground carbon, and biodiversity. We synthesize policy-level considerations for mindfully navigating fire and conservation goals and propose areas which may be suitable for herbivory, mechanical removal, and prescribed burn to manage fuels. Our results highlight several countries, especially in eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, with both high ecosystem function and high fire activity which must be carefully managed to avoid intense and destructive fires in areas of high ecosystem function. Conversely, we identify areas with high fire activity and low carbon storage or biodiversity which may be good candidates for more intensive fuel management with fewer negative ecological consequences. As Europe continues to look to its landscapes to provide a wide range of services, policymakers will need to carefully consider services provided by landscapes to safeguard environmental objectives while managing the deleterious consequences of wildfires.

土地利用和气候变化正在推动全球野火和生态系统的新动态。在欧洲，这些驱动因素导致燃料结构的变化，从而影响野火的行为、影响和复发间隔。因此，有兴趣恢复影响燃料状况和安排的与燃料有关的历史土地管理战略和消防制度。同时，生态系统功能（如碳储存和生物多样性）是欧洲可持续发展和气候适应政策（如绿色协议）的基石。因此，需要一种细致入微的景观管理方法，既能解决野火问题，又能保护生态系统功能。评估欧洲野火与生态功能之间相互作用的研究在很大程度上仅限于地方或区域评估，这些评估很难转化为全欧洲的政策举措。我们的研究采用大陆视角，利用最近的火灾活动、地上碳和生物多样性数据，绘制生态系统功能和野火可能相互作用的区域。我们综合了政策层面的考虑，以谨慎地导航火灾和保护目标，并提出了可能适合食草，机械清除和规定燃烧的区域来管理燃料。我们的研究结果强调了几个国家，特别是在东欧和地中海，具有高生态系统功能和高火灾活动，必须仔细管理，以避免在高生态系统功能地区发生强烈和破坏性的火灾。相反，我们确定了具有高火灾活动和低碳储存或生物多样性的地区，这些地区可能是更密集的燃料管理的良好候选者，并且负面生态后果较少。随着欧洲继续指望其景观提供广泛的服务，政策制定者将需要仔细考虑景观提供的服务，以保护环境目标，同时管理野火的有害后果。

The transfer of ecosystem service assessments to real-world decision-making in the public and private spheres is lagging. We introduce EnhancES, a toolbox for mapping and assessing ecosystem services developed with the open-source software QGIS. The toolbox can currently assess twelve ecosystem services (ES). We demonstrate how biophysical ES modelling can be integrated into a multistep spatial planning/design process via EnhancES. We used real information from the planning process of a residential area in Bochum, Germany. We compared the expected changes in six ES that emerged from three different urban planning designs submitted as part of an official urban planning competition, plus a revised plan. The gains and losses in standardized ES performance convey a clear message: an overall gain of ES is only possible with the revised plan. Acknowledging ES as a fundamental basis for human well-being should put them at the centre of decision-making, because marginal valuation over different development alternatives is the way forward.

将生态系统服务评估转移到公共和私人领域的实际决策方面是滞后的。我们介绍了enhance，这是一个用开源软件QGIS开发的用于绘制和评估生态系统服务的工具箱。该工具箱目前可以评估12种生态系统服务功能。我们演示了如何通过增强将生物物理ES建模集成到多步骤空间规划/设计过程中。我们使用了德国波鸿一个住宅区规划过程中的真实信息。我们比较了作为官方城市规划竞赛的一部分提交的三种不同城市规划设计中出现的六个ES的预期变化，以及修订后的计划。标准化ES性能的收益和损失传达了一个明确的信息：ES的总体收益只有通过修订计划才有可能实现。承认生态环境是人类福祉的基本基础，应该使它们成为决策的中心，因为对不同发展选择的边际估值是前进的方向。

Urban nature projects are becoming increasingly common in cities as they contribute to reducing the impacts of the climate crisis. In this study, we developed a conceptual framework based on ecosystem services (ESs) to analyse how urban naturalisation actions (nature-based solutions, NBSs) included in urban nature projects contribute to multifunctionality. Here, multifunctionality refers to the capacity to generate multiple simultaneous ESs, indicating the extent to which the challenges identified in a city have been addressed. A multi-criteria analysis based on socioeconomic and environmental criteria, assessed using a series of descriptors linked to ESs, was used to develop a Multifunctionality Nature Project (MuNaP) index. The framework identifies the level of multifunctionality of NBSs and incorporates information for its improvement, if necessary. To validate this proposal, we calculated the multifunctionality of an urban nature project in the World Heritage City of Salamanca, Spain. Among all NBSs used in the project, tree planting was the most multifunctional, whereas the creation of bioretention sites was the least multifunctional. Increasing the values of certain criteria, such as diversity and origins, increased the multifunctionality of the urban nature project. Finally, the MuNaP index has a minimum value that ensures the multifunctionality of an urban nature project, that is, its contributions to biodiversity conservation, provision of multiple ESs, and the well-being of citizens.

城市自然项目在城市中变得越来越普遍，因为它们有助于减少气候危机的影响。在本研究中，我们开发了一个基于生态系统服务（ESs）的概念框架，以分析城市自然项目中包含的城市自然化行动（基于自然的解决方案，nbs）如何促进多功能性。这里，多功能性指的是同时产生多个ESs的能力，这表明城市中确定的挑战已经得到解决的程度。基于社会经济和环境标准的多标准分析，使用一系列与ESs相关的描述符进行评估，用于开发多功能自然项目（MuNaP）指数。该框架确定了nbs的多功能性水平，并在必要时纳入了用于改进的信息。为了验证这一建议，我们计算了西班牙萨拉曼卡世界遗产城市自然项目的多功能性。在项目中使用的所有nbs中，植树是最多功能的，而生物保留点的创建是最不多功能的。增加某些标准的价值，如多样性和起源，增加了城市自然项目的多功能性。最后，MuNaP指数有一个最小值，以确保城市自然项目的多功能性，即其对生物多样性保护、提供多种生态环境和公民福祉的贡献。
