Description

This data paper introduces the "SELINA Super-Query," a comprehensive systematic search query developed within the EU-Horizon project SELINA. This framework serves as a foundational tool for subsequent literature reviews and it is accompanied by an open-access database containing 108,064 potentially relevant literature items. The SELINA Super-Query is designed to efficiently identify English-language, peer-reviewed research articles published between 2018 and 2022 in the fields of ecosystem condition, ecosystem services and ecosystem accounting. By employing this unified systematic search strategy in the initial phase of a large research project, follow-up research tasks can effectively build on a consistent, well-defined knowledge base, thereby enhancing the project's overall research cohesion and productivity.
