Estimating the economic value of green water as an approach to foster the virtual green-water trade [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
Green water – precipitation that is stored in the soil as moisture and consumed in the production of biomass – provides the main source of water for crop cultivation, pasturelands, forestry, and terrestrial ecosystems. At a local level, green water is land-bound and cannot be easily allocated between uses.
