Cultural ecosystem services (ES) are consistently recognized but not yet adequately defined or integrated within the ES framework. A substantial body of models, methods, and data relevant to cultural has been developed social behavioral sciences before outside approach. selective review work in landscape aesthetics, heritage, outdoor recreation, spiritual significance demonstrates opportunities for operationally defining terms socioecological consistent with larger set ES. Such models...
Pacific Northwest mountain scenes tested whether perceptions of scenic beauty correspond to those management acceptability, and for whom. A stratified sample participants included favoring resource protection, production, or neither. Scenes were rated either acceptability. All saw very beautiful as acceptable, the two rating types correlated but diverged in ways corresponding environmental attitudes. Participants with opposite attitudes rendered ratings reversed ways: Those production had...
A research agenda for finding more generally useful psychophysical models to predict perceived forest beauty is proposed. An initial step in this process undertaken by developing a model northern hardwood forests that exhibits properties may make it regionally valid. Toward end, the new data from study were used retest number of previously reported models. These replication results are assessed and applied construction regression model. This further developed use wide variety sample forests,...
The Northwest Forest Plan applies a shift in policy to national forests the U.S. Pacific Northwest, with implications for other public landscapes. This offers potentially strong scenic areas that have historically emphasized clearcutting little visual impact mitigation. These will now emphasize biocentric concerns and harvests formed accordingly. Public perceptions of simulation this landscape transformation indicate it improve beauty large vistas. Changes small vistas nearer viewers still...
Abstract A public opinion survey was conducted in Washington and Oregon. It not a representative poll sample but instead sampled groups of people favoring forest production, those protection, others aligned with either these viewpoints. There is strong consensus across regarding the unpopularity established forestry methods need to regulate clearcutting. The weight groups' opinions indicated that replanting hiding clearcuts are enough make them acceptable, New Forestry should be practiced...

We thank Thomas Kirchhoff (1) for agreeing that cultural values are important. As is explicit in our paper (2), we also agree not all can be fit into the ecosystems services framework; however, chose to focus on those can. nonetheless considerably more optimistic about number of and socioecological contexts which ecological structures functions do contribute significantly satisfying needs/wants.
Private landowners in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA were surveyed. The survey queried probabilities implementing specific fuels reduction projects extensive areas forest types on their property. described relation to beginning and target types, actions required, costs, long-term maintenance. Forest first rated for scenic beauty informed levels wildfire risk reduction, scarce habitat production, associated property rights risks. Propensities perform each project then obtained....
