文摘

Different ecosystem service definitions and interpretations create too much ambiguity. The cascade model is used as framework, and Systems Ecology as theoretical basis. The notions of biomass information and interaction enrich a refreshed conceptualization. The cascade framework shifts from a ‘two dimensional’ to a ‘telescopic’ perspective. This perspective can emphasize the ecological dimension and its complex reality.
