Merits of AES include provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural services which underpins sustainable agricultural development Goal of this study is to evaluate AES in various contexts. However, to date, understanding of AES remains in its infancy, with many questions regarding AEDS remaining unanswered, little consensus on how best to scale up ecosystem disservices assessment to an operational level, and little attention given to geographical disparities in AES research. In this mixed-methods study, bibliometry, literature synthesis, and cross-source analysis are used to assess global trends, key figures, and methodological approaches in AES research. The overall results show a significant development of AES literature, however, unanswered questions and research implications are identified, in particular, the need for the development of more specific indicators, inclusion of the AES concepts into the holistic theoretical framework, as well as contextualisation of methodologies and approaches. These results highlight the inherent complementarity or trade-offs between AES, and provide information to enhance the understanding of agroecosystem management. The potential applications are vast, informing the realistic pursuit of sustainable agricultural productivity and the conservation of ecosystems and the SDGs for the future development of research for global agroecosystems.
