This paper gives an overview of the value ecosystem services 10 main biomes expressed in monetary units. In total, over 320 publications were screened covering 300 case study locations. Approximately 1350 estimates coded and stored a searchable Ecosystem Service Value Database (ESVD). A selection 665 was used for analysis. Acknowledging uncertainties contextual nature any valuation, analysis shows that total is considerable ranges between 490 int$/year bundle can potentially be provided by...
The analysis of data from social media and networking sites may be instrumental in achieving a better understanding human-environment interactions shaping future conservation environmental management. In this study, we systematically map the application research. quantitative review 169 studies reveals that most focus on people's behavior perceptions environment, followed by monitoring applications planning governance. literature testifies to very rapid growth field, with Twitter (52...
The values of goods and services provided by wetland ecosystems are examined through a meta‐analysis an expanded database value estimates with focus on human‐made wetlands. This study extends improves upon previous meta‐analyses the valuation literature in terms number observations, geographical coverage, class integrity, measurement effects scarcity anthropogenic pressure. We find that water quality improvement, nonconsumptive recreation, provision natural habitat biodiversity highly valued...
This paper presents a global synthesis of economic values for ecosystem services provided by 15 terrestrial and marine biomes. Information from over 1,300 studies, yielding 9,400 value estimates in monetary units, has been collected organised the Ecosystem Services Valuation Database (ESVD). is substantial expansion data since de Groot et al. (2012) description ESVD provides an important juncture to explore developments use valuation methods contexts which valuations are conducted. In this...
Ocean and marine ecosystems provide a range of valuable services to humans, including benefits such as carbon sequestration, whose economic value are yet poorly understood. This paper presents novel contribution the valuation sequestration in with an application Mediterranean Sea. We combine state-of-the-art biogeochemical model various estimates social cost emissions spatially explicit characterization current flow values that attributable processes, biological component. Using conservative...
Solar-driven reverse osmosis desalination can potentially break the dependence of conventional on fossil fuels, reduce operational costs, and improve environmental sustainability. The experience with solar is investigated based analysis 79 experimental design systems worldwide. Our results show that photovoltaic-powered technically mature — at unit costs as low 2–3 US$ m-3 economically cost-competitive other water supply sources for small-scale in remote areas. Under favourable conditions,...
There is growing policy and academic interest in transferring ecosystem service values from existing valuation studies to other sites at a large geographic scale. Despite the evident demand for this combined transfer "scaling up" of values, an approach value that addresses challenges inherent assessing changes national or regional level not available. This paper proposes methodology scaling up estimate welfare effects change larger geographical The illustrated by applying it impact climate...

Rapid technological development opens up new opportunities for assessing ecosystem services (ES), which may help to overcome current knowledge gaps and limitations in data availability. At the same time, emerging technologies, such as mobile devices, social media platforms, artificial intelligence, give rise a series of challenges limitations. This study provides comprehensive overview broad range technologies that are increasingly used collecting, analyzing, visualizing on ES, including...
This groundbreaking study sheds new light on the unequal distribution of cultural ecosystem services (CES) within Rome's urban green spaces (UGS). Employing a novel methodology, we assess UGS quality through georeferenced social media data from Twitter, evaluate cover UGS, and accessibility to these using network analysis in GIS environment. unique methodology allows us unveil marked disparities both provision CES. Unlike traditional approaches, our provides more nuanced understanding...
The rationale for conservation and creation of wetlands stems from the recognition both their ecological economic values. This paper examines welfare impacts goods services provided by wetlands. We collected 385 estimates value 181 natural man-made 167 studies worldwide. resulting database is less biased towards North America than previous reviews literature. relative importance characteristics valuation study, wetland site, socio-economic geographical context estimated means a...
