摘要：Cultural ecosystem services constitute a growing field of research that is characterized by an increasing numberof publications from various academic disciplines. We conducted a semiquantitative review of publications explicitly dealingwith cultural ecosystem services. Our aims were: (1) to provide an overview of the current state of research, (2) to classify thediversity of research approaches by identifying clusters of publications that address cultural ecosystem services in similar ways,and (3) to highlight some important challenges for the future of cultural ecosystem services research. We reviewed 107publications and extracted 20 attributes describing their type and content, including methods, scales, drivers of change, andtrade-offs between services. Using a cluster analysis on a subset of attributes we identified five groups of publications: Group1, conceptual focus, deals with theoretical issues; Group 2, descriptive reviews, consists mostly of desktop studies; Group 3,localized outcomes, deals with case studies coming from different disciplines; Group 4, social and participatory, deals mainlywith assessing preferences and perceptions; and Group 5, economic assessments, provides economic valuations. Emergingthemes in cultural ecosystem services research relate to improving methods for cultural ecosystem services valuation, studyingcultural ecosystem services in the context of ecosystem service bundles, and more clearly articulating policy implications. Basedon our findings, we conclude that: (1) cultural ecosystem services are well placed as a tool to bridge gaps between differentacademic disciplines and research communities, (2) capitalizing on the societal relevance of cultural ecosystem services couldhelp address real-world problems, and (3) cultural ecosystem services have the potential to foster new conceptual links betweenalternative logics relating to a variety of social and ecological issues
