A wetlandscape can comprise large regions with different wetland bodies connected by groundwater or surface flows and, in turn, include more ecosystems, land covers, and communities existing in the landscape.
The role of wetlandscapes for the well-being of human communities is evident throughout human history, as societies have developed and thrived in their spatial domains. Wetlands are well known to provide a range of provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting ecosystem service. Yet, the complexity arising from the spatial aggregation of wetland units into wetlandscapes invites a reconsideration of the provision of wetlandscape ecosystem services (WES).
