The social production of ecosystem services: A framework for studying environmental justice and ecological complexity in urbanized landscapes

► Two levels of analysis are interlinked to study justice and ecosystem services. ► Urbanized landscapes are modeled as social-ecological networks at the city-level. ► Social practices of value articulation are studied in local struggles over land-use. ► Ecological connectivity brings in crucial dimensions of complexity in studying justice. ► Combining methods and levels of analysis brings increased understanding in empirical work.
