Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly promoted as human actions that harness nature’s properties and functions to deliver multiple benefits to people and nature. In this way, they are championed as an approach to help achieve sustainable development. This framing has garnered broad attention and support. However, the specific values that underpin public support for NbS remain underexplored, even though understanding them is essential for assessing the policy legitimacy of NbS, clarifying their conceptual foundations, and evaluating their transformative potential. We use environmental valuation to understand public support for funding four types of NbS—two land-based: 1. Living seawall and 2. Constructed wetland, and two water-based: 3. Coral gardening and 4. Seaweed biofilter—projects in Queensland, Australia, and to examine the underlying values that shape this support. Mixed Logit models indicate that households are willing to pay approximately AU$75–150 per year for implementing these solutions, with no substantial differences in preferences across the four types. Crucially, model interactions with attitudinal variables reveal that relational values are stronger predictors of support than instrumental or intrinsic values. This strong association between NbS and relational values may offer an opportunity to increase public acceptance of NbS and, more broadly, to support societal transformation in a nature-positive direction through longer-term initiatives that seek to reframe the relationship between people and nature.

基于自然的解决方案（NbS）越来越被推崇为利用自然属性和功能为人类和自然带来多重利益的人类行为。通过这种方式，它们被倡导为帮助实现可持续发展的一种方法。这一框架得到了广泛的关注和支持。然而，支撑公众支持国家统计局的具体价值观仍未得到充分探讨，尽管理解这些价值观对于评估国家统计局的政策合法性、澄清其概念基础和评估其变革潜力至关重要。我们使用环境评估来了解公众对资助四种类型的国家统计局的支持-两种陆基：活海堤和2。人工湿地和水基湿地两种：珊瑚园艺和4。在澳大利亚昆士兰州的海藻生物过滤器项目，并检查形成这种支持的潜在价值。混合Logit模型表明，家庭愿意每年支付约75-150澳元来实施这些解决方案，四种类型的偏好没有实质性差异。至关重要的是，模型与态度变量的相互作用表明，关系值比工具值或内在值更能预测支持。国家统计局与关系价值之间的这种强烈联系可能为提高公众对国家统计局的接受度提供机会，更广泛地说，通过寻求重新构建人与自然之间关系的长期举措，支持社会向自然积极的方向转型。

Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of ecosystem services (ES) that are essential for human well-being. Nevertheless, conventional forest management practices that prioritise timber production often reduce the capacity of forests to provide a balanced set of other ES, thereby diminishing their overall multifunctionality. The aim of this study is to develop a field-based multi-indicator methodological approach to assess how different forest management types influence the multifunctionality value based on the supply of thirteen ES (two provisioning, nine regulating and two cultural), and to identify the forest attributes (location, structure and maturity, and soil properties) that influence the provision of each ES. The research was conducted in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, a relevant protected area of the Basque Country (Spain). The forest management types selected for the study were as follows: i) No managed native forests, ii) Abandoned pine plantations, iii) Pine managed plantations, and iv) Eucalyptus managed plantations, with 10 stands sampled for each management type. The findings indicated that No managed and Abandoned exhibited higher multifunctionality value and greater values in regulating and cultural ES in comparison to managed plantations, which supplied higher timber provision, yet exhibited suboptimal performance in other ES. The application of generalised linear mixed models has revealed a positive correlation between forest attributes, including soil pH and vertical heterogeneity, and the provision of multiple ES. However, it has also been observed that slope has a negative effect on certain regulating ES. These findings underscore the significance of forest management practices that preserve both the structural complexity of the forest and landscape, whilst simultaneously enhancing soil conditions to ensure multifunctionality. Furthermore, abandoned pine plantations have the potential to demonstrate ecological restoration, thereby supporting natural regeneration and improving the delivery of regulating and cultural ES.

森林生态系统提供广泛的生态系统服务，对人类福祉至关重要。然而，优先考虑木材生产的传统森林管理做法往往会降低森林提供一套平衡的其他可持续能源的能力，从而削弱其整体的多功能性。本研究的目的是开发一种基于实地的多指标方法方法，以评估不同森林经营类型如何影响基于13种生态系统（2种供应、9种调节和2种文化）供应的多功能价值，并确定影响每种生态系统供应的森林属性（位置、结构和成熟度以及土壤属性）。该研究是在西班牙巴斯克地区的一个相关保护区——乌代拜生物圈保护区进行的。研究选择的森林经营类型为：i)无管理原生林，ii)废弃松木人工林，iii)松木人工林，iv)桉树人工林，每种经营类型采样10个林分。研究结果表明，与提供更多木材供应的人工林相比，无管理和废弃人工林在调节和培养生态系统方面具有更高的多功能性价值和更大的价值，但在其他生态系统方面表现不佳。广义线性混合模型的应用揭示了森林属性（包括土壤pH和垂直异质性）与提供多个ES之间的正相关关系。然而，也观察到坡度对某些调节ES有负作用。这些发现强调了森林管理实践的重要性，即既要保护森林和景观的结构复杂性，又要同时改善土壤条件以确保多功能性。此外，废弃的松林具有展示生态恢复的潜力，从而支持自然再生并改善调节和文化ES的交付。

We integrate contingent valuation and self-reported wellbeing indicators to inclusively assess instrumental and relational values around two potential marine protected areas (MPAS) in lagoons in Abu Dhabi (AD) and Umm al Quwain (UAQ), United Arab Emirates (UAE). In total, 510 residents and tourists were surveyed. There was near consensus that designating the lagoons as MPAs was important. All wellbeing indicators reflecting relational values scored strongly, and significantly higher for lower incomes and in the less urbanised UAQ lagoon, particularly for connection to nature. Individual willingness to pay (WTP) for establishing MPAs varied by user/non-user, size, level of protection. Central estimates for aggregated annual WTP for highly protected MPAs ranged from $1.13 m (UAQ, 153 km²) to $13.63 m (AD, 230 km²). Results suggest the substitutability of relational values varied by income, and that there were trade-offs between aggregate monetary values increasing with number of users, and local and lower income users’ wellbeing. Inclusive management must carefully balance the diverse values of marine ecosystems and wildlife, the instrumental benefits of coastal tourism, the relational connections between local people and nature, and equity issues around the lower availability of substitutes and the stronger relational values for lower-income users of potential protected areas.

我们整合了条件评估和自我报告的福祉指标，以包容性地评估阿布扎比（AD）和阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）乌姆阿尔奎因（UAQ）两个潜在海洋保护区（MPAS）泻湖的工具和关系价值。共有510名居民和游客接受了调查。人们几乎一致认为，将这些泻湖指定为海洋保护区是很重要的。所有反映相关值的幸福指标得分都很高，在收入较低和城市化程度较低的UAQ泻湖，尤其是与自然的联系方面，得分明显较高。建立海洋保护区的个人支付意愿（WTP）因用户/非用户、规模、保护水平而异。高度保护海洋保护区的年度总WTP的中央估计从113万美元（UAQ， 153平方公里）到1363万美元（AD， 230平方公里）不等。结果表明，关系价值的可替代性因收入而异，并且随着用户数量的增加，总货币价值与本地和低收入用户的福祉之间存在权衡。包容性管理必须仔细平衡海洋生态系统和野生动物的各种价值、沿海旅游的工具性利益、当地人与自然之间的关系联系，以及围绕替代品可用性较低的公平问题，以及潜在保护区的低收入用户的更强关系价值。

Recent years have seen both increased use of financial incentives to promote conservation behavior, and increased interest in understanding how social norms can be utilized to encourage conservation. However, there remains limited understanding of how norms and incentives interact to affect people’s willingness to undertake incentivized behaviors. We advance existing research, testing aspects of a theory of social norms and financial incentives to predict and explain conservation behavior. We study a population of ethnically Tibetan pastoralists in Qinghai, China, an area of critical conservation importance both for its role as the source of the drinking water supply for over a billion people downstream and for its ecosystems (including wildlife), where financial incentives for conservation have been introduced. We examine how local yak herders respond to a hypothetical program to reduce their herd size in exchange for a monetary incentive. Appealing to descriptive social norms in favor of joining the program motivates increased participation, and it reduces the likelihood of reversing the herd size reduction when the program ends. However, as the payment size increases, the effect of norms diminishes. Our findings indicate that cultural factors – in this case religious orientation against treating animals as a commodity – can be a stronger motivator than social norms.

近年来，人们越来越多地使用财政激励来促进保护行为，也越来越有兴趣了解如何利用社会规范来鼓励保护。然而，对于规范和激励如何相互作用影响人们进行激励行为的意愿，人们的理解仍然有限。我们推进现有的研究，测试社会规范和经济激励理论的各个方面，以预测和解释保护行为。我们研究了当地牦牛牧民如何回应一个假设的计划，即减少他们的牛群规模以换取金钱激励。吸引描述性的社会规范来支持加入该计划，可以激发更多的参与，并且减少了在计划结束时逆转畜群规模减少的可能性。然而，随着支付规模的增加，规范的作用逐渐减弱。我们的研究结果表明，文化因素——在这种情况下，反对将动物视为商品的宗教取向——可能是比社会规范更强的激励因素。

We designed a new national Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme for Costa Rica using a systematic approach for the creation of governance arrangements and financial mechanisms based on Elinor Ostrom’s design principles for sustainable commons management. This PES 2.0 updates significantly the almost 30-year-old current scheme by expanding the scope to all the natural capital of the country (i.e., private, public, terrestrial, coastal and marine), as well as expanding the ecosystem services that will be the focus of the different modalities of the PES. This study presents the first estimate of the annual value of Costa Rica’s total ecosystem services, amounting to $14.5 billion. Finally, to assess and enhance the efficiency of the proposed scheme, we developed a Natural Capital Priority Index (NCPI) tailored to PES schemes. The NCPI identifies areas where investments are likely to generate the highest socioeconomic and environmental returns by spatially estimating ecosystem service provision, threats to their sustainability, and zones of high conservation value. This proposal of the evolution of one of the world’s best-known PES schemes will not only help the country to achieve its nature stewardship goals, but will also increase the level of participation from a wide diverse group of actors from society creating significant new opportunities to increase their livelihoods and well-being.

我们为哥斯达黎加设计了一项新的国家生态系统服务支付（PES）计划，该计划基于Elinor Ostrom的可持续公地管理设计原则，采用系统的方法来创建治理安排和金融机制。PES 2.0通过将范围扩大到国家的所有自然资本（即私人、公共、陆地、沿海和海洋），以及扩大生态系统服务（将成为PES不同模式的重点），对已有近30年历史的现行方案进行了重大更新。这项研究提出了哥斯达黎加总生态系统服务年价值的第一个估计，达145亿美元。最后，为了评估和提高拟议方案的效率，我们开发了一个适合PES方案的自然资本优先指数（NCPI）。NCPI通过空间估算生态系统服务提供、对其可持续性的威胁以及具有高保护价值的区域，确定投资可能产生最高社会经济和环境回报的区域。这一关于发展世界上最著名的PES计划之一的建议不仅将有助于该国实现其自然管理目标，而且还将提高来自社会的广泛不同行为者群体的参与水平，为提高他们的生计和福祉创造重要的新机会。

Marine forests are vital ecosystems that underpin biodiversity and human well-being. Despite their ecological significance, these habitats remain underrepresented in policy frameworks and are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. Effective conservation and restoration efforts require a system-level understanding of the dynamic interactions between human activities and ecological components.

We use Bayesian Belief Networks to simulate and predict changes in ecosystem service provision within southern European marine forests, with a focus on the continental Portuguese coast. Our approach integrates field measurements and expert knowledge to assess how shifts in anthropogenic drivers and biological components affect ecosystem functionality in data-limited settings. Major concerns include climate-driven herbivory, invasive species patterns, and their combined impact with other existing drivers. Nonetheless, results indicate restoration initiatives could enhance ecosystem services provision by up to 40 percentage points. Availability, reliability, and size of observations significantly influenced the choice between expert-based data and field measurements. The findings provide an initial step toward applying a Bayesian Network approach to assess ecosystem service provision in European marine forests and evaluating the potential benefits of restoration interventions. This work identifies key leverage points for enhancing ecosystem resilience and offers a decision-support tool to inform targeted conservation strategies across southern European coastal regions.

海洋森林是支撑生物多样性和人类福祉的重要生态系统。尽管这些栖息地具有重要的生态意义，但它们在政策框架中的代表性仍然不足，并日益受到人为压力的威胁。有效的保护和恢复工作需要对人类活动和生态组成部分之间的动态相互作用有一个系统级的理解。我们使用贝叶斯信念网络来模拟和预测南欧海洋森林中生态系统服务提供的变化，重点是葡萄牙大陆海岸。我们的方法整合了实地测量和专家知识，以评估在数据有限的情况下，人为驱动因素和生物成分的变化如何影响生态系统功能。主要问题包括气候驱动的草食、入侵物种模式，以及它们与其他现有驱动因素的综合影响。尽管如此，结果表明，恢复措施可以使生态系统服务提供增加多达40个百分点。观察结果的可用性、可靠性和规模显著影响了专家数据和现场测量之间的选择。这些发现为应用贝叶斯网络方法评估欧洲海洋森林的生态系统服务提供和评估恢复干预的潜在效益提供了初步的步骤。这项工作确定了增强生态系统恢复力的关键杠杆点，并提供了决策支持工具，为南欧沿海地区的有针对性的保护战略提供信息。

Aquatic ecosystems provide valuable ecosystem services to human wellbeing. Nonetheless, anthropogenic pressures cause significant impacts on their environment and biodiversity. Assigning economic value to these services increases awareness for ecosystem protection, informing policies and planning. Currently, there is no comprehensive review of the economic valuation of Australia’s aquatic ecosystems, despite it having the world’s third largest marine area. This study provides a review of the economic value of ecosystem services in seven aquatic ecosystems in Australia, namely: mangroves, saltmarsh, seagrass, kelp, shellfish reef, freshwater wetlands and open waterways. Over 90% of the economic value estimates in Australia were conducted for kelp, mangroves, saltmarsh and seagrass, whereas limited information was identified for shellfish reef habitats. Available research is concentrated in New South Wales and Victoria, with limited research in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Provisioning and cultural services represented over 70% of researched ecosystem services in Australia, while habitat and biodiversity services were rarely identified. Typical provisioning and cultural services identified globally, such as raw materials or bequest values were not identified in the Australian literature. Australian economic values were typically below the global 50th percentile for provisioning, cultural and climate regulation services. In contrast, the use of aquatic ecosystems for storm and erosion protection are often one of the highest economic valuations worldwide with a median Australian value over $400,000/ha/year for mangrove, saltmarsh and seagrass habitats. Overall, the compiled results highlight a potential undervaluation of aquatic ecosystem services in Australia and important research gaps for further investigation.

水生生态系统为人类福祉提供了宝贵的生态系统服务。然而，人为压力对其环境和生物多样性造成了重大影响。赋予这些服务经济价值可以提高生态系统保护意识，为政策和规划提供信息。尽管澳大利亚拥有世界第三大海洋面积，但目前还没有对其水生生态系统的经济价值进行全面评估。本文综述了澳大利亚红树林、盐沼、海草、海带、贝类礁、淡水湿地和开放水道等7个水生生态系统的生态系统服务的经济价值。在澳大利亚，超过90%的经济价值评估是针对海带、红树林、盐沼和海草进行的，而针对贝类珊瑚礁栖息地的信息则有限。现有的研究主要集中在新南威尔士州和维多利亚州，在西澳大利亚州和北领地的研究有限。供应和文化服务占澳大利亚研究生态系统服务的70%以上，而栖息地和生物多样性服务很少被确定。全球公认的典型供应和文化服务，如原材料或遗产价值，在澳大利亚文献中没有被确定。在供应、文化和气候调节服务方面，澳大利亚的经济价值通常低于全球第50百分位。相比之下，利用水生生态系统来保护风暴和侵蚀往往是世界上最高的经济价值之一，在澳大利亚，红树林、盐沼和海草生境的价值中位数超过40万美元/公顷/年。总的来说，汇编的结果突出了对澳大利亚水生生态系统服务的潜在低估，以及进一步调查的重要研究空白。

Watershed restoration can enhance hydrologic ecosystem services (ES) across larger regions, yet payment schemes for these services (PES) often remain confined by watershed boundaries. This limits the identification of key ES providers and beneficiaries, compromising efficacy and equity of PES interventions. Focusing on the Xin’an River Watershed, one of the largest urban headwaters in China, this study aims to develop a spatial targeting strategy for fair and cost-effective land-use measures that improve water quality; and apply ES flow-based metacoupling to incorporate payers from surrounding regions, thereby expanding the current ineffective PES scheme to include cross-regional beneficiaries of clean water. Our spatially targeted approach predicts a 24% reduction in total nitrogen export by reforesting and retiring just 8% of the most polluting croplands. The $44.5 million annual compensation required for farmers to implement these changes averages $4,022–10,248 per hectare, far exceeding their opportunity costs. In parallel, analysis based on the metacoupling framework identifies the corresponding beneficiaries of improved water quality, including users within the watershed, those in the broader metacoupled region, and a corporation that bottles and sells the watershed water nationally. This metacoupling perspective further shows that fair compensation for farmers would require water users to increase their bills by only 1.8%, with the bottler functioning as a keystone actor. This study underscores the high potential of transboundary and spatially targeted PES schemes considering metacoupled public and corporate ES beneficiaries for securing clean water across watershed boundaries in a fair, justifiable, and cost-effective manner.

流域恢复可以在更大的区域内增强水文生态系统服务（ES），但这些服务的支付方案（PES）往往受到流域边界的限制。这就限制了对主要的医疗服务提供者和受益者的识别，损害了医疗服务干预措施的有效性和公平性。本研究以中国最大的城市源头之一新安河流域为研究对象，旨在为改善水质的公平和经济有效的土地利用措施制定空间目标策略；并应用基于ES流量的元耦合将周边地区的支付者纳入其中，从而扩大目前无效的PES计划，将清洁水的跨区域受益者纳入其中。我们的空间定向方法预测，通过重新造林和淘汰污染最严重的农田的8%，总氮出口将减少24%。农民实施这些变化每年需要4450万美元的补偿，平均每公顷4,022-10,248美元，远远超过他们的机会成本。同时，基于元耦合框架的分析确定了改善水质的相应受益者，包括流域内的用户、更广泛的元耦合区域的用户以及在全国范围内装瓶和销售流域水的公司。这种元耦合的观点进一步表明，对农民的公平补偿只需要用水户增加1.8%的账单，而装瓶商是一个关键角色。这项研究强调了跨界和空间定向的PES计划的巨大潜力，考虑到公共和企业的双重ES受益人，以公平、合理和具有成本效益的方式确保跨流域边界的清洁水。

Central to the SEEA-EA (System of Environmental Economic Accounts – Ecosystem Accounts) is the concept of an exchange value, which is used to measure the value of the ecosystem contribution (i.e., the ecosystem service) to the associated economic activity. SEEA-EA proposes a number of approaches to value these services. These approaches have largely been developed with a terrestrial focus, and their application to the marine environment has been limited. Of interest in this study is the attribution of the value of fisheries biomass provisioning services to multispecies fisheries. Many fisheries straddle several ecosystems, and in the case of multispecies fisheries, the combination of species may change across these different ecosystems. While the ecosystem service in quantity terms (i.e., the retained harvest) can be readily measured, identifying the exchange value of this catch is more complex. In this study, we consider a number of different SEEA-EA recommended approaches to estimate ecosystem service exchange prices for individual species and compare their implications for the derived ecosystem contributions for multispecies fisheries. We use an Australian multispecies fishery as a case study and assess the implications of the different assumptions on the resultant distribution of ecosystem service value. We find that the use of the annualised average vessel value of total quota holdings or licence value divided by the vessel revenue provides the most appropriate means to derive ecosystem service exchange prices and exchange values for individual species within the multispecies fishery. We have called this approach “rent revenue share”.

SEEA-EA（环境经济核算系统-生态系统核算）的核心是交换价值的概念，用于衡量生态系统对相关经济活动的贡献（即生态系统服务）的价值。SEEA-EA提出了许多评估这些服务价值的方法。这些方法在很大程度上是以陆地为重点发展起来的，它们在海洋环境中的应用有限。本研究感兴趣的是渔业生物质供应服务对多物种渔业的价值归属。许多渔业跨越几个生态系统，在多物种渔业的情况下，物种的组合可能在这些不同的生态系统中发生变化。虽然生态系统服务的数量（即保留的收获量）可以很容易地衡量，但确定这一捕捞量的交换价值则更为复杂。在本研究中，我们考虑了许多不同的SEEA-EA推荐的方法来估计单个物种的生态系统服务交换价格，并比较了它们对衍生的多物种渔业生态系统贡献的影响。我们以澳大利亚的一个多物种渔业为例，评估了不同假设对生态系统服务价值最终分布的影响。我们发现，使用总配额持有或许可证价值除以船舶收入的年化平均船舶价值提供了最合适的方法来获得多物种渔业中单个物种的生态系统服务交换价格和交换价值。我们把这种方法称为“租金收入分成”。
