Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in Costa Rica by Locatelli, Bruno, Imbach, Pablo A., Wunder, Sven

“…Spatial synergies exist between current policies (national parks and the payment scheme) and the conservation of ecosystem services: national parks and areas receiving payments provide more services than other areas. Biodiversity hotspots have the highest co-benefits for other services, while carbon hotspots have the lowest. …”
