The Service Connecting Area (SCA) is the space between non-adjacent ecosystem service-providing and benefiting areas. The properties of the connecting space influences the transfer itself (Syrbe et al. 2017) ((Syrbe, R.-U.; Schröter, M.; Grunewald, K.; Walz, U. & Burkhard, B. (2017): What to map? In: Burkhard, B. & Maes, J. (Hg.): Mapping Ecosystem Services. Sofia: Pensoft Publishers, p. 151–158.)). The connection between [[:wiki:service_benefitting_area_alpes|Service Benefitting Area (SBA)]] and [[wiki:service_providing_area_alpes|Service Providing Area (SPA)]] may be directional (ES or benefit flows always in one direction, e.g. drinking water flowing downslope) or non-directional (ES or benefit has no defined areas of provision and benefit, e.g. food products being transported to costumers).

//Within [[:wiki:alpesbackground|AlpES]] it is not possible to outline the SCA for all ES on an alpine wide scale. They are often well identifiable through local knowledge for most ecosystem services though.//
