While wetlands are individual ecosystems with permanent or temporary waters, the novel term “wetlandscapes” refers to systems of wetlands that are hydraulically, hydrologically and ecologically coupled. Although the ecosystem services of wetlands have been investigated for decades, the spatial aggre

Springs are natural groundwater discharge areas emerging in many forms and are said to be windows into the Earth. They have associated unique dependent ecosystems and are sensitive indicators of global climate changes, land-use practices and variations in water quantity and quality. In addition, the

Aquifers serve as the primary source of drinking water for Humans worldwide. This use of groundwater mainly relies on ecosystem services provided by aquifers. Among them, natural water purification is a cornerstone ecosystem service, notably mitigating the rise of the pollutants emitted by anthropog

Urgent action is required to create resilient and forward-looking solutions for the early detection and effective management of harmful algal blooms (HABs). These blooms pose a significant threat to both society and the environment, necessitating a proactive approach to limit their detrimental socio

Due to their complex and interconnected nature and the multiple demands placed on them by human activities, trade-offs may arise in the provision of ecosystem services by aquatic ecosystems and sometimes these services may not meet their demand. These tensions are exacerbated by climate changes and
