However, only some of them are priced by the market and directly influence management of natural resources. Currently attempts are made to assess the value of other services and reward them within agricultural policy as they are considered to be a tool for managing natural resources in agriculture. The paper is aimed at presenting the concept of ecosystem services (ES) and the possibility of its application in the management of natural resources in agriculture. The results show that the assessment and compensated for ESs are a difficult task given the need of taking into account numerous factors.
