The book "Ecosystem Services - Concept, Methods and Case Studies" provides a comprehensive analysis of the diverse services that nature offers us. It highlights the importance of ecosystem services (ES) such as food production, water supply, recreation, and protection against natural hazards. The authors, coming from various scientific disciplines, discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with the assessment and preservation of these services. By examining international studies, such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, the role of biodiversity and ecosystems for human well-being is emphasized. The book not only offers a methodological framework for analyzing and assessing ecosystem services but also includes case studies, particularly from Germany, that provide practical insights into the subject. It is aimed at scientists and practitioners involved in environmental and landscape management who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between humans and nature.
