Publications

Here you can find citations and links to many of the articles and books written by Natural Capital Project team members about ecosystem services and conservation. You can also find a broad list of important articles and reports written by other authors. Links to articles that appeared in peer-reviewed journals use the Digital Object Idetifier (DOI) system and most require an individual or institutional subscription (i.e. through a university library).
