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

This research documents the societal worth of riparian resources in the Southwestern United States. Two case studies are developed for this inquiry, the first being Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness in Southern Arizona, an area containing one of the last perennial streams in the Sonoran Desert bioregion. 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. I hypothesize the value discrepancy to indicate a premium for remote recreation. These valuation results compare well with other published recreational

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:

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

This research is a new approach as it integrates information from both environmental and social sciences to inform effective management of the wetlands.

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.

Abstract:

Il mare profondo rappresenta l’ambiente più grande del nostro pianeta, ma anche il meno esplorato. A causa dei cambiamenti climatici e dei crescenti impatti antropici, l’esistenza dei beni e servizi che questo ambiente fornisce è a rischio. Stime monetarie di tali benefici sono carenti. Elevata è la biodiversità che il mare profondo e, più in generale, gli oceani ospitano. Dalla letteratura emerge una grande variabilità della disponibilità a pagare (DAP) delle persone per la tutela della biodiversità marina. L’area geografica, le specie investigate e l’ammontare dei costi sono le variabili che

No Brasil, a coleta e tratamento de esgoto sanitÃrio sÃo considerados precÃrios.
