Perceived availability and access limitations to ecosystem service well-being benefits increase in urban areas

Access mechanisms can determine the benefits that people derive from a given ecosystem service supply. However, compared to ecosystem service availability, access has received little research attention. The relative importance of availability compared to access in limiting ecosystem service benefits...
