                         poverty alleviation, we present a new conceptual framework, 
                         synthesizing insights from existing frameworks in 
                         social-ecological systems science and international development. 
                         People have differentiated abilities to benefit from ecosystem 
                         services, and the framework places emphasis on access to services, 
                         which may constrain the poorest more than aggregate availability. 
                         Distinctions are also made between categories of ecosystem service 
                         in their contribution to wellbeing, provisioning services and cash 
                         being comparatively easy to control. The framework gives 
                         analytical space for understanding the contribution of payments 
                         for ecosystem services to wellbeing, as distinct from direct 
                         ecosystem services. It also highlights the consumption of 
                         ecosystem services by external actors, through land appropriation 
                         or agricultural commodities. Important conceptual distinctions are 
                         made between poverty reduction and prevention, and between human 
                         response options of adaptation and mitigation in response to 
                         environmental change. The framework has applications as a thinking 
                         tool, laying out important relationships such that an analyst 
                         could identify and understand these in a particular situation. 
                         Most immediately, this has research applications, as a basis for 
                         multidisciplinary, policy-relevant research, but there are also 
                         applications to support practitioners in pursuing joint policy 
                         objectives of environmental sustainability and poverty 
                         alleviation.",
