La biodiversité, une ressource, mais aussi un fardeau ? Intérêt et limites des notions de services et disservices écosystémiques pour repenser les interactions nature-sociétés dans... by Julien Blanco, Clémence Moreau, Chloé Guerbois, Cécile Barnaud, Pierre-Cyril Renaud, Marc Deconchat, Émilie Andrieu

“…The ecosystem service (ES) framework has been widely used to analyse these processes and design more effective governance arrangements. In this contribution, we develop the non-conventional idea that integrating the contested concept of ecosystem disservice (EDS), which refers to the nuisances associated with ecosystems, improves the understanding of these processes, and may eventually help towards more environmental justice. …”
