Abstract

There is increasing concern that the ecosystem servicesapproach puts emphasis on optimizing a small number ofservices, which may jeopardize environmental sustainability.One potential solution is to bring cultural ecosystemservices more strongly into the foreground. We synthesizerecent empirical evidence and assess what consideration ofcultural ecosystem services adds to landscapemanagement and planning. In general, cultural ecosystemservices incentivize the multifunctionality of landscapes.However, depending on context, cultural ecosystemservices can either encourage the maintenance of valuablelandscapes or act as barriers to necessary innovation andtransformation. Hence, cultural ecosystems services are notuncontested, as seen through the three analytical lenses oflandowner behavior, cultural practices of communities, andlandscape planning.
