Special Issue: Incorporating Ecosystem Services in Water Resource Management - Tools, Policies, and Promising Pathways
This Special Issue brings together a set of articles representing a range of spatial scales, geographies, and topics in the area of ecosystem services and water management. It has a strong emphasis on case studies, often co-produced with stakeholders and decision makers from the water resource management sector. The issue also highlights ecosystem services research from several regions that are underrepresented in the global literature, including sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia. Geographic diversity is important not only to expand our understanding of ecosystem services performance in different hydro climatic regimes, but also our understanding of the different socioeconomic and political contexts in which ecosystem services are being incorporated into water resource management. In the following sections, we highlight some of the themes that emerged from the articles in this special issue.
