Abstract

This volume gathers theoretical, methodological, and applied papers exploring different issues related to environmental quality and management. Human economy depends on healthy ecosystems capable of ensuring a life support system delivering ecosystem services vital for human well-being. Integrated environmental assessment and environmental accounting are essential research areas to assess the quality of environmental matrices while supporting managers and policy makers with scientifically sound information.

Acknowledgments

A special thank is due to all the Reviewers who contributed their time and valuable effort. Without their work and scientific support this special issue would not have been possible.
