The United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EA) aims to quantify the contributions of ecosystems to economies and incorporate the contribution of nature into economic decision-making. However, a key challenge for the SEEA-EA ecosystem service (ES) accounts is distinguishing the actual use from potential supply, especially for regulating services like river flood mitigation service, and connecting it to different beneficiaries in a consistent unit. To address this challenge, integrated models method for river flood mitigation service accounts within the SEEA-EA framework was proposed to incorporating beneficiaries. The method comprises four steps: 1) determining serviceshed, service providing areas and service benefiting areas, 2) assessing potential ecosystem flood mitigation service, 3) simulating spatial flow, connecting it with beneficiaries, and valuation, and 4) compiling Supply and Use table of actual use in alignment with SEEA-EA framework. We applied this framework to the flood-prone Wanquanhe Basin on Hainan Island, China, to assess flood mitigation service provided by forest ecosystems (e.g., natural forests, rubber, and gardens) and the Niululing Reservoir. The SWAT and Random Forest models estimated potential ES, land use maps identified beneficiaries, and the HEC-RAS model simulated the spatial flow of floodwater. Data from these models were then integrated to quantify the ES actual use, which were subsequently incorporated into the SEEA-EA accounts. The case study revealed that in 2020, the upstream forest ecosystems and the reservoir provided 15.52 and 2.9 billion Yuan worth of actual flood mitigation service, respectively, to downstream beneficiaries. This study demonstrates how our integrated models method for river flood mitigation service effectively distinguishes between potential and actual ES use, connects services to beneficiaries, and constructs comprehensive SEEA-EA accounts. This method can be replicated in other regions to compile SEEA-EA accounts for river flood mitigation service, which can inform nature-based decision-making for flood risk management.

联合国环境经济会计系统生态系统会计（SEEA-EA）旨在量化生态系统对经济的贡献，并将自然的贡献纳入经济决策。然而，SEEA-EA生态系统服务（ES）帐户面临的一个关键挑战是区分实际使用和潜在供应，特别是在调节河流洪水缓解服务等服务时，并将其连接到一个一致的单位中不同的受益者。为了应对这一挑战，提出了SEEA-EA框架内河流洪水缓解服务账户的综合模型方法，以纳入受益人。该方法包括四个步骤：1)确定服务区域、服务提供区域和服务受益区域；2)评估潜在生态系统防洪服务；3)模拟空间流动、连接受益者和评估；4)编制符合SEEA-EA框架的实际使用供应和使用表。我们将这一框架应用于中国海南岛万泉河流域的洪水易发地区，以评估森林生态系统（如天然林、橡胶和花园）和牛鹿岭水库提供的防洪服务。SWAT和Random Forest模型估计了潜在的ES，土地利用图确定了受益者，HEC-RAS模型模拟了洪水的空间流动。然后将来自这些模型的数据集成以量化ES的实际使用，这些数据随后被纳入SEEA-EA帐户。研究表明，2020年，上游森林生态系统和水库分别为下游受益人提供了155.2亿元和29亿元的实际防洪服务。本研究展示了我们的河流洪水缓解服务的综合模型方法如何有效区分潜在和实际的ES使用，将服务与受益人联系起来，并构建全面的SEEA-EA帐户。这一方法可以在其他地区复制，以编制河流洪水减灾服务的SEEA-EA账户，为基于自然的洪水风险管理决策提供信息。

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”。

Quantifying cultural ecosystem services (CESs) has been difficult using traditional methods such as questionnaires, so increasing numbers of studies are utilizing big data obtained from social media for evaluation of CESs. Although data obtained from social media are often considered to be biased and non-representative, the actual effects of biases on evaluations of CESs are rarely quantified. In this study, we sampled posts from a microblogging service, Twitter, and investigated the effects of demographic biases on three indicators capturing aspects of social media which can be used for evaluations of CESs (spatial distribution, sentiment of post, and travel cost), focusing on the Japanese national parks as a case study. We found that Twitter users obtained from the randomly sampled 1% posts had a different distribution of demographic attributes (age, sex, and residential prefecture) from the Japanese population. More importantly, we found that activities on the platform such as estimated frequency of georeferencing and posting are different among demographic groups. This indicates that spatial distribution of CESs commonly evaluated by the number of georeferenced posts can be affected by additional demographic biases which cannot be captured by statistics based on all users on social media platforms. On the other hand, among the three indicators, only spatial distribution was strongly affected by the demographic attributes of users, indicating that the potential effects of biases are different for each indicator tested. These results clearly show that consideration of demographic attributes and their potential effects would be necessary to obtain representative and inclusive evaluations of CESs.

传统的问卷调查等方法难以量化文化生态系统服务（CESs），因此越来越多的研究开始利用社交媒体获得的大数据来评估文化生态系统服务。虽然从社交媒体获得的数据通常被认为是有偏见的和不具代表性的，但偏见对社会责任评价的实际影响很少被量化。在这项研究中，我们从微博服务Twitter上选取帖子，并调查了人口统计学偏差对社交媒体中可用于评估CESs的三个指标（空间分布、帖子情绪和旅行成本）的影响，并以日本国家公园为例进行了研究。我们发现，从随机抽样的1%帖子中获得的Twitter用户具有与日本人口不同的人口统计属性分布（年龄、性别和居住地区）。更重要的是，我们发现平台上的活动，如地理参考和发布的估计频率，在人口群体中是不同的。这表明，通常由地理参考帖子数量评估的CESs的空间分布可能受到其他人口统计学偏差的影响，而这些偏差无法通过基于社交媒体平台上所有用户的统计来捕捉。另一方面，在三个指标中，只有空间分布受到用户人口统计属性的强烈影响，这表明每个指标的偏差潜在影响是不同的。这些结果清楚地表明，要获得具有代表性和包容性的社会经济评价，必须考虑人口统计特征及其潜在影响。

Smallholder Coffee agroforestry systems (CAFS) deliver ecosystem services bundles crucial to farmer livelihoods, resilience of rural communities, maintenance of natural processes, and biodiversity conservation. Their importance is likely greatest in countries with vulnerable populations such as Haiti. Nevertheless, little is known about service delivery by Haitian CAFS. Therefore, we characterized the agrobiodiversity of 39 representative CAFS in two coffee-growing regions of Haiti (North and Southwest), and the multiple services they support. We investigated associations between the composition and structure of agrobiodiversity and service delivery. To that end, CAFS typologies were established from variables pertaining to coffee genetic diversity, stand structure and injury profiles, shade tree and associated crop diversity, and bioclimate. Associations between typologies were investigated. We also established a typology based on delivered services related to coffee performance, species and nutritional diversity, tree uses, carbon storage, and nitrogen availability. Surveyed coffee plots were generally varietally diverse, aging, and subject to pest and diseases. Most CAFS occurred on a spectrum of farm regeneration (old to renewed coffee plots) tied to the adoption of “modern” coffee varieties, with implications for ecosystem service delivery. Furthermore, we described 3 distinct ecosystem service bundles delivered by CAFS: subsistence-, coffee performance-, and tree utility-maximizing bundles, respectively. Finally, our results highlight the importance of the tree strata for ES, including conservation of native species. Overall, our study contributes to the still-limited knowledge of Haitian CAFS agrobiodiversity. Trade-offs between certain services, and absence of trade-offs between others, signal possible CAFS improvement pathways.

小农咖啡农林复合系统（CAFS）提供的生态系统服务对农民生计、农村社区抵御力、维持自然过程和保护生物多样性至关重要。在海地等人口脆弱的国家，它们的重要性可能最为突出。然而，人们对海地中非援助部队提供的服务知之甚少。因此，我们对海地两个咖啡种植区（北部和西南部）39个代表性CAFS的农业生物多样性及其支持的多种服务进行了表征。我们调查了农业生物多样性的组成和结构与服务提供之间的关系。为此，从咖啡遗传多样性、林分结构和伤害概况、遮荫树和相关作物多样性以及生物气候等变量建立了CAFS类型。研究了类型学之间的关联。我们还根据与咖啡性能、物种和营养多样性、树木利用、碳储存和氮可用性相关的交付服务建立了类型学。调查的咖啡地块一般品种多样，老化，易患病虫害。大多数CAFS发生在与采用“现代”咖啡品种有关的农场再生（旧咖啡到新咖啡地块）的范围内，这对生态系统服务的提供具有影响。此外，我们还描述了CAFS提供的3种不同的生态系统服务束：生存最大化、咖啡性能最大化和树木效用最大化。最后，我们的研究结果强调了树木层对ES的重要性，包括对本地物种的保护。总的来说，我们的研究对海地CAFS农业生物多样性的认识仍然有限。某些服务之间的权衡，以及其他服务之间缺乏权衡，表明了可能的CAFS改进途径。

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。

European forests are increasingly expected to provide a wide range of biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) beyond timber production, positioning non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners (hereafter, “forest owners”) as key contributors. An emerging question is how to engage forest owners in the needed forest management shift. To better understand the drivers of forest owner participation in voluntary agreements, we conducted a meta-regression analysis of 24 studies from survey-based, stated, or actual participation data, encompassing 28 distinct datasets and 571 observations from 12 European countries. The findings suggest that certain contract designs substantially enhance forest owner participation: short- and mid-term contracts of 1 to 30 years (as opposed to longer-term agreements), the inclusion of withdrawal clauses, non-restrictive management requirements, and higher compensation levels all promote uptake. Moreover, agreements centred on biodiversity, carbon, or forest multifunctionality attract higher participation than timber- or water-focused aims. Although trust between the actors is often considered important in the literature, we did not consistently detect such effects on participation rates. The results indicate a more consistent interest among forest owners in BES agreements after 2012, especially those centred on biodiversity and carbon aims as well as on multifunctionality, potentially reflecting broader policy trends and shifts in motivation among younger generations of forest owners, moving away from timber production. These insights offer practical lessons for policymakers and practitioners aiming to design effective, targeted incentives that leverage Europe’s privately owned forests to meet biodiversity and climate objectives.

越来越多的人期望欧洲森林在木材生产之外提供广泛的生物多样性和生态系统服务（BES），将非工业私人森林（NIPF）所有者（以下简称“森林所有者”）定位为关键贡献者。一个新出现的问题是如何使森林所有者参与必要的森林管理转变。为了更好地了解森林所有者参与自愿协议的驱动因素，我们对24项研究进行了荟萃回归分析，这些研究来自基于调查的、声明的或实际参与的数据，包括来自12个欧洲国家的28个不同的数据集和571个观察结果。调查结果表明，某些合同设计大大提高了森林所有者的参与：1至30年的短期和中期合同（相对于长期协议）、纳入退出条款、非限制性管理要求和更高的补偿水平都促进了森林所有者的参与。此外，以生物多样性、碳排放或森林多功能为中心的协议比以木材或水为中心的协议吸引更多的参与。虽然参与者之间的信任在文献中经常被认为是重要的，但我们并没有一致地发现这种对参与率的影响。结果表明，2012年之后，森林所有者对BES协议的兴趣更加一致，特别是那些以生物多样性和碳目标以及多功能为中心的协议，这可能反映了更广泛的政策趋势和年轻一代森林所有者的动机转变，他们不再从事木材生产。这些见解为旨在设计有效、有针对性的激励措施、利用欧洲私有森林实现生物多样性和气候目标的政策制定者和实践者提供了实践经验。

To better understand the drivers of forest owner participation in voluntary agreements, we conducted a meta-regression analysis of 24 studies from survey-based, stated, or actual participation data, encompassing 28 distinct datasets and 571 observations from 12 European countries. The findings suggest that certain contract designs substantially enhance forest owner participation: short- and mid-term contracts of 1 to 30 years (as opposed to longer-term agreements), the inclusion of withdrawal clauses, non-restrictive management requirements, and higher compensation levels all promote uptake. Moreover, agreements centred on biodiversity, carbon, or forest multifunctionality attract higher participation than timber- or water-focused aims. Although trust between the actors is often considered important in the literature, we did not consistently detect such effects on participation rates. The results indicate a more consistent interest among forest owners in BES agreements after 2012, especially those centred on biodiversity and carbon aims as well as on multifunctionality, potentially reflecting broader policy trends and shifts in motivation among younger generations of forest owners, moving away from timber production. These insights offer practical lessons for policymakers and practitioners aiming to design effective, targeted incentives that leverage Europe’s privately owned forests to meet biodiversity and climate objectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 101772"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145061729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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。

Nature in cities is essential for human well-being. Quantifying and valuing the goods and services provided by nature to city dwellers is missing in tropical contexts. Yet, as cities worldwide face similar challenges, understanding the services provided by tropical urban ecosystems becomes imperative for effective management. Here, we present the first Natural Capital Assessment of a tropical city, unveiling three critical insights. Firstly, we demonstrate the vital reliance of a developed tropical city on nature, particularly for climate change mitigation through regulating services. Secondly, we identify intact natural areas as Singapore’s most valuable assets, stressing the significance of the quality of urban greenery in enhancing ecosystem services. Lastly, we highlight the importance of nurturing connections between urban residents and nature, fostering relational values crucial for sustained care and conservation of nature.

城市中的自然环境对人类的福祉至关重要。在热带地区，无法对大自然为城市居民提供的商品和服务进行量化和评估。然而，由于世界各地的城市都面临着类似的挑战，了解热带城市生态系统提供的服务对于有效管理变得至关重要。在这里，我们提出了热带城市的第一个自然资本评估，揭示了三个关键的见解。首先，我们展示了一个发达的热带城市对自然的重要依赖，特别是通过调节服务来减缓气候变化。其次，我们确定完整的自然区域是新加坡最宝贵的资产，强调城市绿化质量对增强生态系统服务的重要性。最后，我们强调培养城市居民与自然之间的联系的重要性，培养对持续照顾和保护自然至关重要的关系价值观。

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。
