The integration of socio-cultural assessments in ecosystem services research has increased steadily over the last years. However, the stakeholders’ perception of ecosystem services from grasslands, a major agricultural land cover in (pre-)Alpine landscapes, has received only limited attention. Furthermore, studying the heterogeneity of perceptions within stakeholder groups is a major scientific need. In this study, we examined the perceptions of farmers and citizens regarding grassland ecosystem services, specifically the matches and mismatches between perceived suitability of grasslands and importance assigned by farmers in their management considerations. We conducted surveys in a study area in southern Bavaria, Germany, in 2018. Overall, ecosystem services that citizens perceived as very suitable to be provided by grasslands aligned well with the ecosystem services that are highly important to farmers in their management considerations, but significant mismatches also existed among all categories of ecosystem services. Clustering and dimension reduction revealed two clusters of farmers and three clusters of citizens depending on farm characteristics and environmental attitudes, respectively. Redundancy analysis showed a strong influence of the stakeholder cluster on the perception of the services assessed. Furthermore, age and gender influenced the perceptions attached to grassland ecosystem services.

在过去的几年中，将社会文化评估纳入生态系统服务研究的步伐稳步增长。然而，利益相关者对草地生态系统服务的认识只是有限的关注，草地是（前）高山景观中的主要农业用地。此外，研究利益相关者群体内观念的异质性是一项重大的科学需求。在这项研究中，我们研究了农民和公民对草地生态系统服务的看法，特别是草地的感知适宜性与农民在其管理考虑中赋予的重要性之间的匹配和不匹配。我们于2018年在德国巴伐利亚州南部的研究区进行了调查。总体而言，公民认为非常适合由草原提供的生态系统服务与对农民的经营考虑极为重要的生态系统服务保持一致，但在所有类别的生态系统服务之间也存在重大不匹配的情况。聚类和缩减维度揭示了分别取决于农场特征和环境态度的两个农民集群和三个公民集群。冗余分析表明，利益相关者群体对评估服务的感知有很大的影响。此外，年龄和性别影响了对草地生态系统服务的认识。聚类和缩减维度揭示了分别取决于农场特征和环境态度的两个农民集群和三个公民集群。冗余分析表明，利益相关者群体对评估服务的感知有很大的影响。此外，年龄和性别影响了对草地生态系统服务的认识。聚类和缩减维度揭示了分别取决于农场特征和环境态度的两个农民集群和三个公民集群。冗余分析表明，利益相关者群体对评估服务的感知有很大的影响。此外，年龄和性别影响了对草地生态系统服务的认识。
