Although the foundational works of ecosystem research recognized the central role of innovation, the current scholarship lacks a more systemic, systemized understanding of how innovation processes take place in ecosystem settings. This lack of a dominant framework that bridges innovation processes and ecosystem fields risks leading to a situation in which crucial problems at the intersection of these two fields remain poorly investigated. Through a systematic literature review, we made a case for rediscovering how these two branches of knowledge can be bridged. As an initial step, we consolidate the literature on these intersections, profile the studies that initially began to establish a bridge between ecosystem and innovation processes, propose a tentative framework for integrating both literatures, and set an agenda for further studies.

生态系统环境中的创新过程：综合框架和未来方向

尽管生态系统研究的基础工作认识到创新的核心作用，但目前的学术界缺乏对生态系统环境中创新过程如何发生的更系统、系统化的理解。缺乏连接创新过程和生态系统领域的主导框架，有可能导致这两个领域交叉点的关键问题仍然得不到很好的研究。通过系统的文献综述，我们提出了重新发现如何弥合这两个知识分支的案例。作为第一步，我们整合了有关这些交叉点的​​文献，概述了最初开始在生态系统和创新过程之间建立桥梁的研究，提出了整合这两种文献的暂定框架，并制定了进一步研究的议程。
