  abstract = {{T}he co-production of {N}ature's {C}ontributions to {P}eople ({NCP}) is a set of processes in which anthropogenic inputs (i.e. material or non-material actions and the assets supporting these actions) and natural inputs (i.e. ecological structures and processes) interact to produce {NCP}. {A}n interdisciplinary understanding of {NCP} co-production can support decision-making on ecosystem management or {NCP} use, given natural constraints, limited human inputs, possible adverse effects and trade-offs arising from co-production. {I}n this paper, we show that mechanisms of co-production at the ecosystem level and the {NCP} flow level are fundamentally different. {A}t the level of ecosystems, people manage natural structures and processes to influence the production of potential {NCP} (e.g. via planting, restoring, fertilizing). {A}t this level, anthropogenic inputs can partially substitute for natural inputs, but natural inputs are necessary whereas anthropogenic inputs are not. {A}t the level of flows, co-production actions convert potential {NCP} into realized {NCP} and quality of life (e.g. via harvesting, transporting, transforming, consuming, and appreciating {NCP}). {A}t this level, anthropogenic inputs are complementary to natural inputs, although some substitutability can occur at the margin. {A}nalysing the substitutability and complementarity between natural and anthropogenic capitals, as well as the adverse effects or mutual enhancement between them, is crucial for informed decision-making on landscape and {NCP} management. {T}his understanding enables the identification of strategies that can ensure {NCP} supply and increase human well-being in a sustainable manner.},
