A systematic review on the definition, criteria, indicators, methods and applications behind the Ecological Value term

The “Ecological Value” (EV) term has been spread in the literature since 1860; however, there is no consensus on its definition and the criteria for its assessment. To identify, assess and summarize the main definitions, criteria, indicators and applications behind the EV term, we performed a system...
