It is shaping our understanding of the role that biodiverse ecosystems play in the environment and their benefits for humankind. As a result, there is a growing interest in operational and methodological issues surrounding ecosystem services amongst environmental managers, and many institutions are now developing teaching programmes to equip the next generation with the skills needed to apply the concepts more effectively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handbook provides a comprehensive reference text on ecosystem services, integrating natural and social science (including economics). Collectively the chapters, written by the world's leading authorities, demonstrate the importance of biodiversity for people, policy and practice. They also show how the value of ecosystems to society can be expressed in monetary and non-monetary terms, so that the environment can be better taken into account in decision making. The significance of the ecosystem service paradigm is that it helps us redefine and better communicate the relationships between people and nature. It is shown how these are essential to resolving challenges such as sustainable development and poverty reduction, and the creation of a green economy in developing and developed world contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarion Potschin\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Principal Research Fellow and Director of the Centre for Environmental Management at the University of Nottingham, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoy Haines-Young\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor at the Centre for Environmental Management, School of Geography, University of Nottingham, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Fish\u003c\/strong\u003e is Reader in Human Ecology in the School of Anthropology and Conservation at the University of Kent, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eR.
