- Abstract
The global perception of the need to integrate the concept of sustainability in the economic, social and environmental dimensions in current societies has generated an effort between countries and institutions for the conservation of biodiversity and an understanding of the benefits obtained by human beings provided by the ecosystem. In order to assess the state of the art in the scope of ecosystem and environmental services research, a bibliometric survey was carried out in the Scopus database to analyse the scientific production on the subject and detect trends and highlights in the period between 2016 and 2020, referring to the number of publications, journals, institutions, countries and keywords. The results obtained show:1) the attention paid to the topic has evolved, resulting in an increase of 60% in the number of publications between 2016 and 2020; 2) the multidisciplinary nature of the theme reflects the diversity of journals that publish on the topic, with a predominance of those in the area of Ecology; 3) the growing interest in the social study of ES stands out; 4) there is a predominance of publication by the category of provision, services linked to the soil ecosystem and those aimed at monitoring ecosystem and environmental services; 5) in absolute numbers, the United States is the leading country in this field of study, followed by China and European countries such as Germany and Italy; such interest is reflected in the institutions that most analyze the scope of ecosystem and environmental services; 6) the high frequency keywords in the publications are "Ecosystem", "Environmental" and "Management", demonstrate the integrative nature of the ecosystem services studies.
