note = "Funding Information: Despite the progress in understanding the links between natural capital and aspects of human well-being that depend on the flow of ecosystem services up to 2012, many aspects of ecosystem services and natural capital were recognised as deserving further research and the application of the concepts was in many places still experimental ( Primmer and Furman, 2012 ). Thus in 2012, the European Commission deemed it necessary to fund research to translate the concepts into operational frameworks that provide tested, practical and tailored approaches for integrating the ecosystem services and natural capital concepts into management and decision-making. This new research funding aimed to improve understanding of how the concepts can be embedded in ecosystem management practice, or can be used to transform current management and policy approaches. These challenges were the starting point of the OpenNESS project, funded by the European Commission 7th Framework programme ( www.openness-project.eu ). This Special Issue of Ecosystem Services synthesises key findings of the project which ran between 2012 and 2017. ",
