While the concept of ecosystem services has been widely adopted by scholars and increasingly used in policy and practice, there has been criticism of its usefulness to decision-makers. This systematic map will collect and analyse literature that frames ES as a collaboration tool, rather than as an ecosystem assessment tool, to answer the research question-how is the ecosystem services concept used as a tool to foster collaborative ecosystem governance and management?
We will search for publications using designated keywords in Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, grey literature and conservation practitioner databases and websites. The search strategy aims to locate all ecosystem services studies related to collaboration and joint activities. After removing duplicates, we will screen papers in two stages-first by reviewing titles and abstracts and then by reviewing full text. Both stages will screen papers according to the following inclusion criteria: (1) the study is situated in the context of or related to environmental governance or management; (2) the study focuses on ecosystem services being used as a tool for collaboration; (3) the study describes a process resulting from applying the ecosystem services concept as a tool or approach; and (4) the ecosystem services concept is used in the study in a collaboration or group process in a substantial manner. We will exclude papers that do not address the ES concept as a process tool or approach or that use the ecosystem services concept to directly influence specific decisions or policy. Eligible studies will be critically appraised to assess their reporting quality. Studies will then be reviewed to determine: (a) the type of tool or mechanism that is the primary focus or example of the paper, (b) the rationale for using the ES concept, (c) whether a tool or approach was empirically tested in the study, (d) what the study found regarding the usefulness of ES as a tool or approach, and (e) any challenges to their use, if mentioned explicitly. A standard coding spreadsheet will be used by reviewers. Relevant metadata will be extracted for each paper assessed and used to construct an open-access online database. Finally, a narrative synthesis of metadata will be reported based on eligible studies.
虽然生态系统服务的概念已被学者广泛采用，并越来越多地应用于政策和实践中，但也有人批评其对决策者的实用性。本系统综述将收集和分析将生态系统服务作为一种协作工具而非生态系统评估工具的文献，以回答研究问题——生态系统服务概念如何被用作促进生态系统协作治理和管理的工具？
我们将在科学网核心合集、Scopus、灰色文献以及保护从业者数据库和网站中使用指定关键词搜索出版物。搜索策略旨在找到所有与协作和联合活动相关的生态系统服务研究。去除重复项后，我们将分两个阶段筛选论文——首先通过审阅标题和摘要，然后通过审阅全文。两个阶段都将根据以下纳入标准筛选论文：（1）该研究处于环境治理或管理的背景下或与之相关；（2）该研究侧重于将生态系统服务用作协作工具；（3）该研究描述了将生态系统服务概念用作工具或方法所产生的过程；（4）生态系统服务概念在该研究的协作或群体过程中被大量使用。我们将排除那些未将生态系统服务概念作为过程工具或方法处理，或使用生态系统服务概念直接影响特定决策或政策的论文。符合条件的研究将进行严格评估以评估其报告质量。然后将对研究进行审查以确定：（a）该论文主要关注或作为示例的工具或机制类型；（b）使用生态系统服务概念的理由；（c）该研究中是否对工具或方法进行了实证测试；（d）该研究发现生态系统服务作为工具或方法的有用性如何；（e）如果明确提及，其使用面临的任何挑战。评审人员将使用标准编码电子表格。将为每篇评估的论文提取相关元数据，并用于构建一个开放获取的在线数据库。最后，将根据符合条件的研究报告元数据的叙述性综合情况。
