Increasing interest in measuring, modelling and valuing ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to people, has resulted in the development of an array of ES assessment tools in recent years. Selecting an appropriate tool for measuring and modelling ES can be challenging.

Les 'espèces envahissantes' (souvent appelées ravageurs, mauvaises herbes ou même maladies) sont des plantes, des animaux, des agents pathogènes et d’autres organismes qui sont délibérément ou involontairement emmenés au-delà de leur aire de répartition naturelle par des personnes et qui deviennent destructeurs de l’environnement ou des moyens de subsistance.

‘Invasive species’ (often called pests, weeds and diseases) are plants, animals, disease agents and other organisms taken beyond their natural range by people, deliberately or unintentionally, and which become destructive to the environment or human livelihoods.
