TL;DR: It was found that methods specifically designed for collinearity, such as latent variable methods and tree based models, did not outperform the traditional GLM and threshold-based pre-selection and the value of GLM in combination with penalised methods and thresholds when omitted variables are considered in the final interpretation.

TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative review of recent literature shows the diversity of approaches and uncovers a lack of consistent methodology for ecosystem service assessment, and provides guidelines for further development and discussions supporting consistency in applications of the ecosystem service concept as well as the credibility of results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared eleven different indicators for quantifying surface urban heat islands that were most frequently used in recent publications on remote sensing-based urban heat island assessments and found that the indicators individually reveal diurnal and seasonal patterns but show rather low correlations over time, and for single points in time, the different indicators show only weak correlations.

TL;DR: Using detailed information on global crop yields of 60 pollination dependent or profiting crops, a map of pollination benefits on a 5′ by 5′ latitude-longitude grid is provided to guide political decisions on where to protect pollination services by investing in structural diversity of land use.

TL;DR: The authors provide a set of best practice recommendations concerned with promoting design for ease of use, design for usefulness, establishing trust and credibility, promoting EDSS acceptance, and starting simple and small in functionality terms to help facilitate the achievement of desirable social and environmental outcomes.
