- The nature and complexity of ecosystem functioning and global biodiversity
- The value of ecosystems and biodiversity
- The relationship between ecological and human stresses, and the vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems, including ecological integrity and biocapacity
- The global state of ecosystems and biodiversity
