This research was born out of the concern to see how the concept of ecosystem services is widely disseminated, but where most of the works focus on the quantification or modeling of the provision of services or on governance (rules and agreements) and little has been done to explore how the operational management is, who participates and how they are related at mesoscale through the cascade model. We seek to contribute to the knowledge of the social and co-production of ecosystem services, as well as to provide public policy recommendations.
