frameworks, challenges and gaps
Integrated Environmental Models (IEMs) incorporating ecosystem services (ES) can be useful tools to support the decision-making. However, their successful application strongly... -
‘Mind the Gap’ between ecosystem services classification and strategic decisi...
Ecosystem services (ES) are increasingly embedded in policy agendas, but if and how policy actors are considering them is not often reported. This study assesses the extent to... -
A framework for valuing spatially targeted peatland restoration
Recent evidence suggests that the degree of degradation of peatlands is substantial, and that there is a significant potential to enhance the delivery of a wide range of... -
Optimising land use allocation to balance ecosystem services and economic ben...
Abstract The optimisation of land use allocation plays an important role in sustainable land use planning. It is crucial to realise the synergy between economic development... -
Economic Assessment of the Recreational Value of Ecosystems
We present a novel methodology for spatially sensitive prediction of outdoor recreation visits and values for different ecosystems. Data on outset and destination... -
The current and future value of nature-based tourism in the Eastern Arc Mount...
The financial benefit derived from nature-based tourism in the Eastern Arc Mountains (EAMs) of Tanzania has never been assessed. Here, we calculate the producer surplus (PS)... -
Global socio-economic impacts of changes in natural capital and ecosystem ser...
The year 2020 is a critical year for sustainable development policy and practice with the review and renewal of various international commitments including the Sustainable... -
Impacts of cropland expansion on carbon storage
When cropland expansion encroaches on ecological land (e.g., forest, grassland, wetland), it seriously affects carbon storage which plays an important role in global climate... -
Property price effects of green interventions in cities
Although green interventions, like nature-based solutions, contribute to more sustainable urban environments and provide ecosystem services to urban populations, some impacts... -
Forest management and future changes to ecosystem services in the Romanian Ca...
This study investigates consequences of future changes to the provision of ecosystem services (ES) in the Romanian Carpathians. Two 2040 forest management scenarios were... -
A web application to support the quantification and valuation of ecosystem se...
Assessing the impacts of policies on a wide range of ecosystem services can support the development of cost-effective policies that establish win-win situations across different... -
Green infrastructure for urban climate adaptation : How do residents’ views o...
Cities are particularly prone to the effects of climate change. One way for cities to adapt is by enhancing their green infrastructure (GI) to mitigate the impacts of heat waves... -
The importance of local forest benefits
Understanding the spatial distribution of the quantity and economic value of Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) collection gives insight into the benefits that local communities... -
Analysis of ecosystem services provision in the Colombian Amazon using partic...

Mountain ecosystem services affected by land use changes and hydrological con...
Abstract The use of check-dams in mountain environments to regulate fluxes of water and sediments is widely applied across Mediterranean mountains. Besides the use of “grey... -
Spatial management of invasive species
In addressing the problem of invasive species, decision makers have a variety of options, each targeting different aspects as it evolves over time and space. We develop a... -
Valuing water quality improvements from peatland restoration
There is evidence that damaged peatlands can negatively affect the delivery of water related ecosystem services. There is interest in peatland restoration to meet different... -
Combining hazard, exposure and social vulnerability to provide lessons for fl...
Flood risk assessments provide inputs for the evaluation of flood risk management (FRM) strategies. Traditionally, such risk assessments provide estimates of loss of life and... -
Impacts of strict cropland protection on water yield
Land use and land cover change is a critical factor of ecosystem services, while water yield plays a vital role in sustainable development. The impact of urban expansion on... -
The global costs and benefits of expanding Marine Protected Areas
Marine ecosystems and the services they provide contribute greatly to human well-being but are becoming degraded in many areas around the world. The expansion of Marine...
