Nature's contributions to people (NCP) rarely originate from nature alone. Often, only by joining natural capital with forms of anthropogenic capital, NCP emerge benefitting people. Understanding how are co-produced and capitals is needed inform decision-making on sustainable land-use practices. Through a systematic review the literature, we compile existing empirical evidence co-production this was arrived at. We identified 237 observations 25 publications indicators co-producing NCP. The reviewed studies were conducted mainly in cropland forest ecosystems at landscape level. Our results show that most for exists material NCP, physical and/or human as main input. Interestingly, non-material relied mostly or social only, while regulating involved multiple types capital. findings provide guidance future research explicitly incorporate analytically assess relationships between provision.
