Nature’s Value in Qinghai Province The Essential Economics of Ecosystem Services	Batker, D. & Harrison-Cox, J.	2010
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Earth Economics Description/Abstract China is developing rapidly. Understanding the economic value of natural systems in areas like the Qinghai Province is essential to promote development and a high quality of life in both rural and urban communities. Many economic measures were developed when natural capital was abundant and built (man-made) capital was scarce. Today the goods and services of nature, like water, food, energy, flood protection and climate stability, are becoming scarce and more valuable. It is increasingly apparent that not only built capital, financial capital and labor are primary factors of production for economic development, but natural systems are as well. Until recently, land and natural systems were frequently excluded in economic analysis.

General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract The aim of the Little Biodiversity Finance Book is to help key stakeholders including governments, NGOs, the private sector, indigenous peoples and local communities to compare existing and future options for biodiversity and ecosystem finance in a clear and consistent way. To do this, this publication introduces an overarching framework that organises financial mechanisms under three main headings: revenue generation, delivery and institutional arrangements. These modules can be thought of as independent building blocks that can be arranged in a ‘mix and match’ approach, choosing the most suitable options from each module to create a more effective, efficient, and equitable financial system.

Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Strategic Environmental Assessment Influential Case Studies	van Beukering, P.; Slootweg, R. & Immerzeel, D.	2008
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract Since the appearance of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA), a growing body of knowledge on ecosystem services is developing. After years of academic developments of the concepts, the approach is now increasingly applied in practice, supporting decision-making and guiding development into a more sustainable direction. For some reason, the Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) community has hardly taken advantage of opportunities provided by the use of ecosystem services as a means to translate the biophysical environment into societal benefits. Even though we have looked for SEA case material very seriously, only few SEA cases were available with a clear recognition of ecosystem services.

How much is an ECOSYSTEM worth? Assessing the economic value of conservation	IUCN	2004
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract The benefits provided by natural ecosystems are both widely recognized and poorly understood. What is increasingly clear, however, is that natural ecosystems are under enormous pressure around the world from the growing demands we place on them. Growth in human populations and prosperity translates into increased conversion of natural ecosystems to agricultural, industrial, or residential use, but also into increased demand for ecosystem inputs, such as fresh water, fiber, and soil fertility, as well as increased pressure on the capacity of natural ecosystems to assimilate our waste, including air and water pollution as well as solid waste.

Exploring ecosystem valuation to move towards net positive impact on biodiversity in the mining sector	Olsen, N.; Bishop, J. & ANstee, S.	2011
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract Rio Tinto has a policy goal of net positive impact (NPI) on biodiversity in its operations. The company aims to achieve NPI by combining state-of-the-art avoidance, mitigation and ecosystem restoration with biodiversity offsets and other conservation actions. In Madagascar, as part of its offset strategy, the company is considering supporting the conservation of approximately 60,000 hectares of lowland rainforest, to compensate in part for the unavoidable residual impacts of its mining operations in the region. The area to be conserved and the resulting biodiversity benefits are expected to meet and possibly exceed the conservation gains required to compensate for the residual impacts of the mining operation.

General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract The annotated literature review is divided into three sections. The first section of the literature review is the largest and it summarizes the theoretical thinking behind the valuation of ecosystem services. It is by far the largest section of the review because the bulk of thinking on ecosystem valuation has been theoretical or analytical. The second section of the review summarizes the limited number of studies that have attempted to empirically value ecosystems services. The third section is composed of studies related to ecosystem service valuation in areas such as the measurement of the multifunctional attributes of agriculture.

A Benefit Transfer Approach to the Estimation of Agro-Ecosystems Services Benefits: A Case Study of Kern County, California	Qenani-Petrela, E.; Noel, J. & Mastin, T.	2007
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of benefit transfer as methodology for measuring baseline and marginal value (loss) estimates of agro-ecosystem non-market goods and services. The benefit transfer methodology is used to estimate the agro-ecosystem non-market goods and services values in Kern County, California. We conclude by suggesting that some estimate of the value of the non-market good and services provided by agro-ecosystem functions is important to the determination of either public policy prescriptions or market-based incentive programs that have as their objective maintaining or increasing those agro-ecosystem function non-market goods and services.

The role of ecosystem valuation in environmental decision making: Hydropower relicensing and dam removal on the Elwha River	Gowan, C.; Stephenson, K. & Shabman, L.	2005
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Ecological Economics Description/Abstract A primary, but rarely examined, justification for ecosystem valuation studies is that monetization of environmental amenities and services makes a needed contribution to environmental decision making. This paper systematically examines the role and contribution of economic analysis, and specifically ecosystem valuation, in a precedent-setting dam removal case. The removal of operating hydropower dams for the purpose of ecosystem restoration (as opposed for safety reasons) is rapidly gaining national attention. One of the first examples involved two dams on the Elwha River in the state of Washington. In this paper we describe the technical analysis that was employed and how such analysis contributed to that dam removal decision.
