Abstract:

Ecosystem services are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems. Ecosystem service valuation (ESV) is the process of assessing the contributions of ecosystem services to human well-being. Its goal is to express the effects of changes in ecosystem services in terms of trade-offs against other things that also support human welfare. Ecologists tend to use biophysical-based methods while economists have developed preference-based tools for ESV. In this dissertation I attempt to bridge these two worlds by writing six papers using methods and insights from both disciplines. In paper 1, my coautho

Abstract:

Ecosystem services constitute a precondition for human welfare and survival. This concept has also become increasingly popular among both scientists and policymakers. Several initiatives have been taken to identify and value ecosystem services. Several services are threatened, and it has been concluded that in order to better manage ecosystem services they need to be further investigated and valued. By measuring them using a common metric—monetary value—they can be more easily compared and included in decision-making tools. This thesis contributes to this goal by presenting values for several

Abstract:

A key challenge for achieving sustainability is understanding how to manage landscapes for multiple ecosystem services, the benefits that humans obtain from ecosystems. Because the enhancement of provisioning ecosystem services, such as food and timber, often leads to declines in regulating and cultural ecosystem services, such as nutrient cycling and tourism, ecological management has often been less successful than it could be. As the demand for all types of ecosystem services increases globally, management that considers and manages ecosystem service interactions is needed to produce bette

Abstract:

The ongoing urbanization leads to densification and growth of cities, which replaces natural areas with hard surfaces. Precipitation is then more likely to runoff as stormwater than to be detained locally. Also, precipitation is predicted to be increasing as an effect of climate change. Traditionally, stormwater has been handled by draining it in underground pipes. As a complement, blue-green infrastructure (BGI) can be used to take care of the increased amount of stormwater. BGI is vegetation and water-based systems that intend to restore the natural flows of water. It does, however, not only

A hiking use value per visitor-day is estimated via the Travel Cost Method at $25.06 and $17.31 (2003 dollars) respectively for two access sites.

A three-stage research framework was developed. Firstly, a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) was used to predict the probability of anthropogenic activities affecting the delivery of different key wetland ecosystem services under different management scenarios. Secondly, Choice Experiments (CEs) were used to quantify the relative preferences which key wetland stakeholder groups held for delivery of different levels of these key ecosystem services.

Since the industrial revolution and the extensive use of fossil fuels, oceans worldwide have absorbed about a quarter of the anthropogenic CO2 released by human activities.

Ocean acidification is expected to cause significant changes in the marine environment over the coming century leading to relevant effects on the biological, biogeochemical and ecological components of the marine envi

Abstract:

This thesis examines the feasibility of economic incentives for reforestation, with improved water quality being one potential benefit, in the Fond D’or watershed of Saint Lucia. Population growth, economic development, and the onset of climate change have decreased the environmental quality in Small Island Developing State (SIDS) while increasing risk to the islands’ water security. The unique topography and geology of Caribbean island nations contribute to the challenges of managing freshwater resources. The governments of SIDS often lack the human and financial resources to provide p

Abstract:

This doctoral dissertation is inspired by the major environmental and socio-economic challenges faced by biologists, climate scientists, economists and policymakers today, and is dedicated to the state-of-the-art literature in the cross-cutting research area where biodiversity economics and climate economics blend. In particular, this work is conducted by (1) developing a holistic, well-accepted approach that explores the mapping of complex links between climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem services and human welfare in numerical terms; (2) further extending the state-of-the-art methodolog

Abstract: Managing worldwide urbanization and housing shortage in cities through a resilient development isan immense issue of today. This study states the risk with urban densification, at the expense ofgreenspace, which is crucial to maintain vital ecosystem services. The nonlinear response todisturbance in ecosystems, need to be emphasized both in planning and practice, to avoiddegradation and collapse. Despite general promotion of densification as a tool to decrease negativeurban impact on surrounding landscape, as to mitigate climate change, current strategies ofcompacting cities are argu

Abstract:

Global demand of fish for consumption in developing nations is expected to continue to rise in the near future, putting pressure on stocks that are already overexploited. In the territorial waters of Panama there is a constant struggle between commercial vessels with high yield, subsistence fishermen trying to feed a remote village, and ecosystem services struggling to sustain themselves. These services are the direct and indirect benefits received by the population in the form of food, raw materials, nutrient cycling, and disaster regulation. They are being degraded by illegal and unregulated

Abstract:

Le bassin méditerranéen est reconnu comme un "point chaud" de biodiversité soumis à de fortes pressions anthropiques. En domaine marin, les habitats coralligènes participent grandement à cette biodiversité et leur situation côtière les rend accessibles aux hommes. La thèse porte sur l'identification et l'évaluation de leurs services écosystémiques. J’ai utilisé le concept de \textit{service écosystémique} à une échelle locale : la Baie de Marseille (anthropisée) et le Parc national de Port-Cros (sous pression humaine minimale). Le premier volet de la thèse porte sur l'identification et la desc

Serviços Ecossistêmicos (SEco) podem ser definidos, de forma geral, como as funções, estruturas, processos naturais ou outros componentes dos ecossistemas, que fornecem, direta ou indiretamente, bem-estar para a população humana atual e futura, e afetam as pessoas e os serviços de apoio necessários para manter outros serviços. Os SEco são agrupados segundo quatros funções: regulação, provisão, suporte e cultural. As bacias dos rios Itaguaré e Guaratuba drenam uma planície costeira formada por diferentes ambientes de sedimentação (Unidades Quaternárias) de idade pleistocênica a atual. A cobertu

Abstract:

This study uses the double-bounded bid elicitation format to estimate how much households in the Khalong-la-Lithunya wetland area (KWA) would be WTP (on top of monthly water bills) for wetland resource conservation, and test whether WTP significantly varies with the institution responsible for its conservation management. KWA was purposely selected on account of the critically important role it plays in securing water provisioning ecosystem services; a role that is currently threatened by proximate and ultimate factors hypothesised to be driven by its unrecognised economic value. WTP was
