TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a conceptual framework and sketch out a strategic plan for delivering on the promise of ecosystem services, drawing on emerging examples from Hawai'i, and describe key advances in the science and practice of accounting for natural capital in the decisions of individuals, communities, corporations, and governments.
Alternative states and positive feedbacks in restoration ecology
TL;DR: Models of alternative ecosystem states that incorporate system thresholds and feedbacks are now being applied to the dynamics of recovery in degraded systems and are suggesting ways in which restoration can identify, prioritize and address these constraints.
What to protect?—Systematics and the agony of choice
TL;DR: It is concluded that two basic rounds of analysis are required: recognition of global priority areas by taxic diversity techniques; and, within any such area, analysis without taxic weighting to identify a network of reserves to contain all local taxa and ecosystems.

Novel climates, no‐analog communities, and ecological surprises
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that no-analog communities (communities that are compositionally unlike any found today) occurred frequently in the past and will develop in the greenhouse world of the future.
