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”。

Offshore marine environments tend to be characterised as uninhabited resource pools, and therefore, compared to terrestrial and coastal environments, have received little attention as sources of cultural ecosystem benefits. Ecosystem valuations of offshore marine areas have largely been based on the monetary values of provisioning and regulating services, and have not taken full account of intangible and non-monetary values. Effective management of marine areas depends upon a comprehensive assessment of the wide range of ecosystem benefits to society, including such cultural benefits as sense of place, cultural identity, aesthetic appreciation and inspiration, connection with nature, and education and research. This paper describes a novel approach to collecting data on cultural ecosystem benefits in offshore areas by stationing a cultural ecosystem services researcher on board a research vessel to carry out observational and ethnographic research, and to conduct semi-structured interviews with researchers and crew. The approach draws from humanities and social science methodologies for investigating embodied experiences, emotional responses, and psychological attachments. Results show a wide range of cultural ecosystem benefits associated with offshore, and a high degree of recognition of the sea as a powerful yet vulnerable environment demanding care and respect. Greater understanding of the cultural values of key users of offshore marine ecosystems will help to inform more effective marine management decisions and practices, and there is considerable scope for in situ participatory and observational research as described in this paper to help to achieve a more holistic assessment of marine cultural ecosystem benefits.

近海海洋环境往往被描述为无人居住的资源池，因此，与陆地和沿海环境相比，作为文化生态系统利益的来源，很少受到关注。近海海洋地区的生态系统价值在很大程度上是以提供和管理服务的货币价值为基础的，没有充分考虑到无形和非货币价值。对海洋区域的有效管理取决于对生态系统对社会的广泛利益的全面评估，包括地方感、文化认同、审美欣赏和灵感、与自然的联系以及教育和研究等文化利益。本文描述了一种收集近海地区文化生态系统效益数据的新方法，即在一艘研究船上安置一名文化生态系统服务研究员，进行观察和人种学研究，并对研究人员和船员进行半结构化访谈。该方法借鉴了人文和社会科学的方法，用于调查具体化的经验、情绪反应和心理依恋。结果显示，与近海相关的广泛的文化生态系统效益，以及高度认识到海洋是一个强大但脆弱的环境，需要关爱和尊重。更深入地了解近海海洋生态系统关键使用者的文化价值，将有助于为更有效的海洋管理决策和实践提供信息，而且如本文所述，现场参与性和观察性研究有相当大的空间，可以帮助实现对海洋文化生态系统效益的更全面评估。

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。

Understanding ecosystem services (ES) is crucial for policies aimed at ensuring biodiversity conservation, natural resources, and livelihoods for humanity. In the state of Paraná, southern Brazil, the overlap between the Atlantic Forest domain and extensive agricultural areas suggests possible trade-offs between natural ecosystems and commodity production. This study aimed to evaluate the spatial distribution, synergies, trade-offs, and the net change among multiple ES at the state level. We selected nine indicators of four categories of ES: regulating services (carbon storage, soil conservation, and water yield), supporting services (plant biodiversity), provisioning services (cassava, orange, and soybean production), and cultural services (aesthetics and archaeological patrimony). Results indicated contrasting dynamics over the past decades. While provisioning services, especially soybean production, increased substantially, regulating services declined, revealing clear trade-offs in land-use priorities. Synergies were observed among regulating, cultural, and supporting services, especially in areas with preserved vegetation. Conversely, trade-offs emerged between provisioning and regulating services, notably between the expansion of soybeans and carbon storage. Municipalities exhibited variations in ES production, and four distinct groups were identified based on the similarity of indicator values among municipalities. These regional disparities, influenced by land use and conservation practices, resulted in the formation of landscape clusters (bundles): Non-fragmented Forest Landscape, Fragmented Forest Landscape, Homogeneous Agricultural Landscape, and Mixed Agricultural Landscape. Different synergies and trade-offs among ES indicators highlighted the ecological and social dynamics over time and the land use strategies promoted, which reduced regulating services in favor of commodity production.

了解生态系统服务对于确保生物多样性保护、自然资源和人类生计的政策至关重要。在巴西南部的帕拉纳州，大西洋森林域和广泛的农业区之间的重叠表明，自然生态系统和商品生产之间可能存在权衡。本研究旨在评估多个ES在州一级的空间分布、协同效应、权衡和净变化。我们选择了4类ES的9个指标：调节服务（碳储量、土壤保持和水量）、支持服务（植物生物多样性）、供给服务（木薯、橘子和大豆生产）和文化服务（美学和考古遗产）。结果表明，在过去的几十年里，这一趋势形成了鲜明的对比。虽然供应服务（尤其是大豆生产）大幅增加，但调节服务却下降了，这表明土地使用优先次序方面存在明显的权衡。在调节、文化和支持服务之间观察到协同效应，特别是在保留植被的地区。相反，在提供和调节服务之间出现了权衡，特别是在大豆扩张和碳储存之间。各城市在ES生产方面表现出差异，根据各城市之间指标值的相似性，确定了四个不同的群体。这些区域差异受土地利用和保护措施的影响，形成了景观集群（束）：非破碎化森林景观、破碎化森林景观、同质农业景观和混合农业景观。生态环境指标之间的不同协同作用和权衡突出了随着时间的推移生态和社会动态，促进了土地利用战略，减少了有利于商品生产的调节服务。这些发现表明了生态系统的空间变异性，并强调了土地利用策略如何在削弱生态多功能性的同时加强权衡。该研究强调了综合土地管理在平衡供应需求与维持生态功能和促进生态系统服务提供多样化方面的重要性。

While provisioning services, especially soybean production, increased substantially, regulating services declined, revealing clear trade-offs in land-use priorities. Synergies were observed among regulating, cultural, and supporting services, especially in areas with preserved vegetation.

Municipalities exhibited variations in ES production, and four distinct groups were identified based on the similarity of indicator values among municipalities.

Amid growing concerns over climate change and ecosystem degradation, seagrass restoration has emerged as an effective nature-based solution with significant environmental and economic benefits. Using extensive long-term datasets and the benefits transfer method, we quantified the social value of four core ecosystem services: carbon and nitrogen sequestration, increased fisheries habitat, and avoided erosion in U.S. mid-Atlantic Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR) seagrass meadows. In addition, we evaluated key factors used in the valuation of natural capital, such as the social cost of carbon (SCC), discount rates, time horizons, and seagrass loss scenarios. Using a logistic growth model, we projected meadow expansion from approximately 2,190 ha to 10,700 ha over 100 years (2015-2115). In our Base Case using an SCC of $51 mt CO₂e⁻¹, the total societal value of all four seagrass ecosystem services over the next 30 years is estimated at $30.4 million, with an annual value (over the first five years) of $573,700 year⁻¹, or $224 ha⁻¹ year⁻¹. The present value of these services over 30 years, assuming a 3 % discount rate, is $19.1 million. Higher social costs of carbon, lower discount rates, and longer time horizons further increase present values over 100 years. As policymakers, communities, and businesses confront climate change and the loss of marine habitats, this study and associated future work highlight the importance of nature-based solutions, like seagrass restoration, in building resilient coastal economies.

随着人们对气候变化和生态系统退化的日益关注，海草恢复已成为一种有效的基于自然的解决方案，具有显著的环境和经济效益。利用广泛的长期数据集和利益转移方法，我们量化了美国中大西洋弗吉尼亚海岸保护区（VCR）海草草甸四种核心生态系统服务的社会价值：碳和氮固存、增加渔业栖息地和避免侵蚀。此外，我们还评估了用于评估自然资本的关键因素，如碳的社会成本（SCC）、贴现率、时间跨度和海草损失情景。利用logistic增长模型，我们预测100年内（2015-2115年）草甸将从约2190公顷扩大到10700公顷。在我们的基本情况下，使用5100万吨二氧化碳当量- 1的SCC，所有四种海草生态系统服务在未来30年的总社会价值估计为3040万美元，每年价值（前五年）为573,700美元，或224公顷- 1年- 1。假设贴现率为3%，这些服务在30年内的现值为1,910万美元。更高的社会碳成本、更低的贴现率和更长的时间跨度将进一步提高100年后的现值。随着政策制定者、社区和企业面临气候变化和海洋栖息地丧失的挑战，本研究和相关的未来工作强调了以自然为基础的解决方案（如海草恢复）在建设有复原力的沿海经济中的重要性。

Cultural ecosystem services are vital to local identity, well-being and social cohesion in arid regions such as the Middle Drâa valley in Morocco. However, climate change, recurrent droughts and human practices are threatening their continuity. We investigated changes in cultural ecosystem services caused by droughts in the Mezguita, Ternata and Fezouata oases through interviews and surveys with local inhabitants. Our findings show a decline in water-dependent cultural ecosystem services such as agricultural festivals, spiritual practices and traditional crafts, leading to cultural erosion and loss of identity. Community activities such as riverbed cleaning and collective irrigation have also become rare. Conversely, artisanal knowledge-sharing (e.g. pottery or silverwork) and spiritual music are the only ones that show resilience and adapted to environmental and socio-economic changes. The decline of cultural ecosystem services has also been a source of psychological distress, with communities expressing anxiety about the disappearance of traditions and the degradation of the landscape. These findings highlight the limitations of existing ecosystem service frameworks, which often overlook intangible and relational interactions with nature. To safeguard both biodiversity and cultural heritage, it is imperative to integrate cultural ecosystem services into conservation policies, fostering adaptive strategies that sustain oasis landscapes and their cultural significance in the face of environmental uncertainty.

在摩洛哥中部干旱地区（Middle dra valley），文化生态系统服务对当地认同、福祉和社会凝聚力至关重要。然而，气候变化、经常性干旱和人类活动正威胁着它们的连续性。通过对当地居民的访谈和调查，研究了干旱对梅兹吉塔、特尔纳塔和费祖阿塔绿洲文化生态系统服务的影响。我们的研究结果表明，依赖水的文化生态系统服务（如农业节日、精神实践和传统手工艺）的减少，导致文化侵蚀和身份丧失。河床清洁和集体灌溉等社区活动也变得很少了。相反，手工知识共享（如陶器或银器）和精神音乐是唯一表现出弹性并适应环境和社会经济变化的领域。文化生态系统服务的下降也是心理困扰的一个来源，社区对传统的消失和景观的退化表示焦虑。这些发现突出了现有生态系统服务框架的局限性，这些框架往往忽视了与自然的无形和关系的相互作用。为了保护生物多样性和文化遗产，必须将文化生态系统服务纳入保护政策，制定适应性战略，在环境不确定性面前维持绿洲景观及其文化意义。

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。
