Knowledge integration requires that a comprehensive range of values arising from human interactions with nature be considered. The Ecosystem Services (ES) Framework is a promising approach to improve value representation, but practitioners struggle to adequately account for intangible values associated with the cultural ecosystem services (CES) category. This research will identify opportunities for improved use of CES knowledge by: 1) defining CES knowledge; 2) identifying variables influencing use of CES knowledge; and 3) piloting an assessment methodology that identifies opportunities for enhanced integration of CES knowledge in decision making.born digitalStudent workspostersengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
