Sponsored by The Nature Conservancy and SERDP, this workshop sought to develop an ecosystem-services framework to enhance environmental management and conservation planning. Specific objectives of the workshop were to: (1) review what is currently being done and what approaches and tools are available; (2) produce a conceptual framework to help identify issues and information gaps; (3) identify priorities for research; (4) determine how ecosystem services can be applied in environmental management and conservation planning; and (5) consider how emerging markets for ecosystem services may affect our activities.
