“…Consequently, we have to analyze the flow characteristics of a specific service according to its transmission pathway and the beneficiaries. The flow rate of information can be short-term (events), months-long or long-term, the flow area can be local, regional or global, and can be called “peoplesheds” (Jones et al, 2022). Nature-related information delivery can produce a pollination service, the spatial flow of which depends on wind or wild pollinators to carry pollen to crops (Lowenstein et al, 2015).…”

Ecosystem service flow refers to the whole process of ecosystem service production, delivery and utilization, which is closely related to social-ecological processes. However, quantifying the entire ecosystem service flow process remains challenging, placing limits on the management of social-ecological systems to improve human wellbeing. Here, we explored the relationship between social-ecological processes (e.g., product transfer, matter cycling, energy flow and information delivery) and the spatial flow of ecosystem service. Then, we reviewed methods quantifying the spatial flow of ecosystem service. Finally, we proposed a comprehensive framework for quantifying the whole process of ecosystem service flow in terms of social-ecological processes. The framework consists of the quantification of ecosystem service supply and demand, the spatial flow of ecosystem service between suppliers and consumers, and the quantification of utilized ecosystem service. To better quantify the whole process of ecosystem service flow, we need to further understand the factors impacting ecosystem service flow, develop process-based models integrating beneficiaries and infrastructure, and establish social-ecological approaches to inform ecosystem service flow governance.
