The Marine Species interface is important for understanding the interconnection of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, providing ecosystem services to humans. Both ecosystems have been studied, but knowledge of their interactions remains limited. Although research interest in Marine Species interactions has grown in the last decade, other types of knowledge systems, such as local and indigenous knowledge, have not yet been included. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on Marine Species interactions in the context of ecosystem services frameworks to facilitate the taxonomy of existing research. A systematic review of the literature was performed by searching for peer-reviewed publications on the Web of Science using keywords related to Marine Species interactions. Overall, 166 publications were identified. This result suggests that the main field to study Marine Species interactions is biogeochemistry and ecology, with an emphasis on nutrients and interactions. From the perspective of ecosystem services, urbanization and agricultural and forest runoff have been studied as the main drivers, with service support and regulation being the most commonly studied. The results indicate the need for a more comprehensive examination of Marine Species interactions that recognizes the important role that social factors play in shaping the sustainability of these systems. I'm here. A future challenge, therefore, is to use a more holistic approach to study and manage Marine Species interactions.
