Understanding ecosystem service flows through the metacoupling framework

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Ecosystem service (ES) flow is an indispensable link between natural ecosystem and socioeconomic system. Research on ES flow is of great significance for regional ecosystem management and ecological compensation policies.

Reconciling ecosystem service supply-demand mismatches through ecological compensation in the Tibetan plateau [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management
Accurately identifying ecological compensation (EC) regions and establishing clear compensation criteria are essential for promoting carbon sequestration, mitigating ecological degradation, and supporting equitable resource allocation.

The Flows of Nature to People, and of People to Nature: Applying Movement Concepts to Ecosystem Services

Land, 2021
To date, the provision of ecosystem services has largely been estimated based on spatial patterns of land cover alone, using benefit transfer analysis.

Simulation and measurement of soil conservation service flow in the Loess Plateau: A case study for the Jinghe River Basin, Northwestern China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The research results based on ecosystem service evaluation are important basis for ecological decisions. However, the spatial flows of services from ecosystems to humans caused by the spatial disconnections between provisioning and benefiting areas, have

Ecosystem service potentials, flows and demands-concepts for spatial localisation, indication and quantification

Landscape Online, 2014
The high variety of ecosystem service categorisation systems, assessment frameworks, indicators, quantification methods and spatial localisation approaches allows scientists and decision makers to harness experience, data, methods and tools. On the other

From theoretical to actual ecosystem services: mapping beneficiaries and spatial flows in ecosystem service assessments

Ecology and Society, 2014
Ecosystem services mapping and modeling has focused more on supply than demand, until recently. Whereas the potential provision of economic benefits from ecosystems to people is often quantified through ecological production functions, the use of and ...

Understanding the contribution of ecosystem services to urban metabolism assessments: An integrated framework

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The growing evidence-base demonstrating that cities are responsible for accelerated natural-resource erosion and the exacerbated impacts of atmospheric emissions on climate change suggest the need for more systemic resource-use mitigation strategies at ...

Research on ecological compensation based on the supply and demand of ecosystem services in the Qinling-Daba Mountains

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Quantifying the spatial displacement process of ecosystem service flow (ESF) between supply, connection and demand is the key to deeper understanding of the spatial mechanism of ecosystem service (ES) action, and is an important basis for accurate ...

Towards pro-poor and voluntary PES: assessment of willingness to pay and willingness to accept PES contract in central Vietnam

Journal of Land Use Science, 2022
This study employed Contingent Valuation and Discrete Choice Experiment methods to investigate the potential of a Payment for Ecosystem Service mechanism that incentivizes sustainable land use practices by determining the willingness of ecosystem service
