The Risk to Ecosystems and Ecosystem Services: A Framework for the Atlas of Ecosystem Services
2019Our framework (Fig. 1.1) depicts different components of a dynamic in which ecosystem services are provided and managed [1]. The impact of on ecosystems can lead to a loss of ecological processes and properties, which are the basis for the provision of ecosystem services to society.

Ecosystem services are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems. Many of these services are provided outside the borders of the land where they are produced; this article investigates who is entitled to these non-excludable ecosystem services from two libertarian perspectives.

Ecosystem services provided by bats [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2011 Ecosystem services are the benefits obtained from the environment that increase human well‐being. Economic valuation is conducted by measuring the human welfare gains or losses that result from changes in the provision of ecosystem services. Bats have long been postulated to play important roles in arthropod suppression, seed dispersal, and pollination;

The relation between the concept of ecosystem services and practice is a moving target: a dynamic field of operation, experimentation, discourse and concern, and many challenges and ambitions. We have asked a diversity of 'real world' actors for their reflections on the usefulness of the concept of ecosystem services for their practice.

What do birds do for us? Some may find this an inappropriate or perhaps distasteful question, suggesting as it might that the importance or value of birds lies principally in the ways that they benefit people, and with perhaps an unspoken implication that if they do not do enough then we should not be too concerned as to what befalls them. Nonetheless,

Valuation of Ecosystem Services
Indian journal of agricultural economics, 2012Ecosystem services can be described as all those visible and invisible benefits provided by the complex interaction of physical, chemical and biological properties of the environment. Natural landscapes such as forests, grasslands, mangroves and wetlands as well as managed ecosystems provide a range of ‘services’ to sustain human welfare.

Over the past decade two themes have emerged as organizing principles in natural resources policy. One, ecosystem management, builds a framework for landscape–level decision making (Christensen et al. 1996). The other, ecosystem services, opens a new dimension for thinking about what we hope to achieve through ecosystem management (Daily 1997; Costanza

Worth of wetlands: revised global monetary values of coastal and inland wetland ecosystem services
Marine and Freshwater Research, 2019In this study, we have re-estimated the 2011 global monetary values of natural wetland ecosystem services using new information on the areas of different coastal and inland wetland classes, and included estimates for forested wetlands.

Ecosystems provide goods and services that help sustain human livelihoods. Provision of ecosystem services may be altered by climate change, because all are made up of species whose growth, productivity, and location are determined by climate. Coastal protection, water provision and carbon storage are among the critical ecosystem services that will be ...
