The concept of "Ecosystem Services (ES)" has gained global importance since the 1990s. Today its link to sustainable development and human welfare is well documented. However, the level of know-how and the scale and effectiveness of practices differ significantly around the globe. The Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) National Network of Turkey aims to fill gaps in ES research and foster collaboration among experts in the public and academic sectors and non-governmental organizations. Therefore, a comprehensive review of ES studies was carried out with rigorous literature research. The review of 247 publications showed that ES research has advanced in the last two decades principally as a result of academia's impetus but increasing efforts in the science-policy interface have also supported its integration into diverse policy sectors. Among all ES, regulating ES were studied more intensely due to the growing effects of climate change on leading economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, and water management. Monetary valuation and trade-off knowledge have remained low, based on the difficulties in data availability and assessment methods. Although protected areas are critical to biodiversity conservation, the ES concept has not been integrated into protected area management. Therefore, the ES knowledge in Turkey needs to be scaled up to cover the national level, with higher stakeholder engagement and more focused implementation driven by political will.
自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，“生态系统服务（ES）”的概念在全球范围内变得越来越重要。如今，它与可持续发展和人类福祉的联系已得到充分证明。然而，全球范围内的专业知识水平、实践规模和效果差异很大。生态系统服务伙伴关系（ESP）土耳其国家网络旨在填补生态系统服务研究中的空白，并促进公共和学术界以及非政府组织专家之间的合作。因此，通过严格的文献研究，对生态系统服务进行了全面审查。对 247 篇出版物的审查表明，过去二十年中，生态系统服务研究取得了进展，主要是由于学术界的推动，但科学政策界面的努力不断增加，也支持了其融入不同政策领域。在所有生态系统服务中，由于气候变化对农业、林业和水管理等主要经济部门的影响越来越大，调节生态系统服务的研究更加深入。由于数据可用性和评估方法的困难，货币估值和权衡知识仍然很低。尽管保护区对生物多样性保护至关重要，但生态系统服务概念尚未纳入保护区管理。因此，需要在全国范围内扩大土耳其的生态系统服务知识，通过政治意愿提高利益相关者的参与度，并更加注重实施。
