Frameworks of ecosystem services (ES) are promoted as a new and important way to recognize, understand, and account for nature's benefits. We questioned assertions of the novelty of ES ideas and conducted a comparative analysis of approaches in planning, landscape architecture, and sustainable forest management against the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment ES framework. We conclude that the newer Millennium Ecosystem Assessment ES framing may assist planners in connecting local land-use change to human well-being, assessing trade-offs, and accounting for future uncertainty. Analogous approaches such as sustainable forest management offer practical insights, for example, about gauging, guiding, and reporting on sustainable use of ecosystems. We encourage environmental planners to engage with ES researchers to develop the approach and advance planning practice.

生态系统服务：旧思想的新框架，还是推进环境决策？向加拿大先驱学习 ES 概念

生态系统服务 (ES) 框架被推广为认识、理解和解释自然益处的一种新的重要方式。我们质疑关于 ES 想法新颖性的断言，并根据千年生态系统评估 ES 框架对规划、景观建筑和可持续森林管理的方法进行了比较分析。我们得出的结论是，新的千年生态系统评估 ES 框架可以帮助规划者将当地土地利用变化与人类福祉联系起来，评估权衡，并考虑未来的不确定性。可持续森林管理等类似方法提供了实用的见解，例如关于生态系统可持续利用的衡量、指导和报告。
