The Nature’s Contribution to People (NCP) framework builds on the Ecosystem Services (ES) concept and aims to incorporate social sciences more inclusively into economic and ecological aspects of ES. Given the emphasis of NCP around social issues, it is our hypothesis that NCP framework is well positioned to analyse complex socio-ecological systems (SES) where human-nature interactions are heavily linked, such as pastoral systems. In this article, a qualitative comparative analysis was conducted to explore trends throughout the literature on pastoral systems and the viability of the NCP framework to analyse pastoral systems as a SES with strong human-nature interactions. We found that the NCP framework allows for an intuitive translation from ES. Our results show that the NCP Habitat creation and maintenance, Food and feed, and Supporting identities are the most connected to pastoral systems in the scientific literature. Given the emphasis of the NCP framework on non-material aspects of human-nature systems and the ease with which it can be applied to the literature, we suggest that the NCP framework can be complementary to the ES framework to allow for a more complete analysis of SES with strong human-nature connections.

《自然对人类的贡献》（NCP）框架建立在生态系统服务（ES）概念的基础上，旨在将社会科学更广泛地纳入ES的经济和生态方面。考虑到NCP围绕社会问题的重视，我们的假设是NCP框架非常适合分析人与自然相互作用紧密联系的复杂社会生态系统（SES），例如牧草系统。在本文中，进行了定性比较分析，以探索整个文献中有关牧草系统的趋势，以及NCP框架将牧草系统分析为具有强烈人与自然相互作用的SES的可行性。我们发现，NCP框架允许从ES进行直观的翻译。我们的结果表明，NCP人居的创建和维护，食物和饲料以及支持身份与科学文献中的牧草系统联系最紧密。鉴于NCP框架强调人与自然系统的非实质性方面以及可以轻松地将其应用到文献中，我们建议NCP框架可以作为ES框架的补充，以进行更完整的分析具有强大的人与自然关系的SES。
