The law, ecosystem services and ecosystem functions: An in-depth overview of coverage and interrelation

Author

Listed:
  • Mauerhofer, V.

Abstract

Ecosystem services have been particularly since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005 a broadly analysed issue. This discussion has been widely led by scholars from environmental and related economic sciences, while social scientists have paid less attention and legal scholars have hardly entered a deeper controversy about the topic.
