The functional  relationship between biodiversity (<em>b<\/em>) and economic value (<em>V<\/em>) is, however, insufficiently understood, despite the premise of a positive-concave <em>bV<\/em>  relationship that dominates scientific and political arenas. Here, we  review how individual links between biodiversity, ecosystem functions (<em>F<\/em>), and services affect resulting <em>bV<\/em> relationships. Our findings show that <em>bV<\/em>  relationships are more variable, also taking negative-concave\/convex or  strictly concave and convex forms. This functional form is driven not  only by the underlying <em>bF<\/em> relationship but also by the number  and type of ecosystem services and their potential trade-offs  considered, the effects of inputs, and the type of utility function used  to represent human preferences. Explicitly accounting for these aspects  will enhance the substance and coverage of future valuation studies and  allow more nuanced conclusions, particularly for managed ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Reference:<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Paul, C., N.
