By demonstrating the value of ecosystem services (ES), ecosystem accounting addresses the water crises by providing insights from both supply and demand perspectives. This requires ES valuation and an understanding of how valuation methods, accounting treatments, and water availability affect ES values. Using the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA), we valued water-related ES using multiple methods, two accounting treatments, and produced monetary ES accounts for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) to evaluate how accounting can support water pricing and management. We found that ES values varied significantly across valuation methods, accounting treatments, and water availability, ranging from AUD −10 to 998 million in the ACT. The huge range highlights the importance of selecting appropriate methods and accounting treatments when using the SEEA. Our approaches to ES valuation were: (1) ES value is embedded within economic transactions and ES value is a subset of these, and (2) ES value is unrecognised in economic transactions and proxy methods are used. Using the second approach, methods that use prices from similar markets and replacement cost extend the production boundary of the System of National Accounts (SNA) and provide additional information on economic value. Using ACT data, we demonstrate how ES valuation and accounting can be applied to current water pricing to better reflect ES use, water scarcity, and to spread costs overtime. Accounting for ES value may justify price increases to limit short-term demand, and fund catchment management activities (‘nature-based solutions’) as well as water supply infrastructure. Together, these tools and actions can mitigate the challenges of sustainably meeting water demands within socio-ecological constraints.

通过展示生态系统服务（ES）的价值，生态系统会计通过从供需角度提供见解来解决水危机。这需要对生态系统价值进行评估，并了解评估方法、会计处理和水资源供应如何影响生态系统价值。使用环境经济会计系统（SEEA），我们使用多种方法、两种会计处理对与水相关的生态系统进行了评估，并为澳大利亚首都地区（ACT）制作了货币生态系统账户，以评估会计如何支持水价和管理。我们发现ES值在评估方法、会计处理和水资源可用性方面存在显著差异，在澳大利亚首都地区从- 10澳元到9.98亿澳元不等。巨大的范围突出了在使用SEEA时选择适当方法和会计处理的重要性。我们对ES估值的方法是：(1)ES价值嵌入在经济交易中，ES价值是这些交易的一个子集，(2)ES价值在经济交易中未被确认，并使用代理方法。使用第二种方法，使用类似市场的价格和重置成本的方法扩大了国民核算体系的生产边界，并提供了关于经济价值的额外资料。利用ACT数据，我们展示了如何将生态系统估值和会计应用于当前的水价，以更好地反映生态系统的使用、水资源短缺以及分摊成本。考虑到ES价值，可以证明价格上涨是合理的，以限制短期需求，并为集水区管理活动（“基于自然的解决方案”）以及供水基础设施提供资金。总之，这些工具和行动可以减轻在社会生态约束下可持续满足水需求的挑战。

We implement natural capital accounts for ecosystem services (ES) using the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting – Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) framework and a case study from the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia. Extended ES supply-use tables are presented that allow for the simultaneous reporting on multiple intermediate and final ES alongside data already available in traditional national economic accounts. We cover the ES of crop provisioning, grazed biomass provisioning, water supply, soil erosion control, recreational fishing, and carbon sequestration and storage. This study shows that extended ES supply-use tables using physical and monetary measures can provide feasible, although not necessarily complete, links between information recorded in the SEEA EA and traditional national economic accounts. It provides an integration of intermediate ES, final ES and produced goods and services in a single table and helps to distinguish benefits from the inputs that create these benefits. Going forward, more integrated recording of the economy and ecosystems’ contributions to wellbeing is needed to better understand the benefits derived from nature.

我们使用环境经济核算系统-生态系统核算（SEEA EA）框架和澳大利亚墨累-达令盆地的案例研究来实施生态系统服务（ES）的自然资本核算。提出了扩展的ES供应使用表，允许同时报告多个中间和最终ES以及传统国民经济账户中已有的数据。我们涵盖了作物供应、放牧生物量供应、供水、土壤侵蚀控制、休闲钓鱼以及碳封存和储存的生态系统。这项研究表明，使用实物和货币措施的扩展ES供应-使用表可以在SEEA - EA和传统国民经济核算中记录的信息之间提供可行的联系，尽管不一定是完整的联系。它将中间环境效益、最终环境效益和生产的产品和服务集成在一个表中，并有助于区分效益与创造这些效益的投入。展望未来，需要更综合地记录经济和生态系统对福祉的贡献，以更好地理解自然带来的好处。

We propose an innovative approach that links nature and people to assess the natural capital of tropical forests in the Amazon. Our study location is a protected area inside Eastern Amazon forest, where we defined 14 sampling points and analyzed ten components, which encompass the maintenance of standing forests (nature to itself) and the provision of ecosystem services (nature to people). Five components were used to assess ecosystem functions and five components were used to assess ecosystem services. As for ecosystem functions, we registered 467 species of animals (122 bees, 53 butterflies, 292 birds) and 418 plant species, and a mean interaction diversity of 2.8 (from 480 bee-plant interactions). Based on functional traits, we found that at least 83 % of species must be preserved to guarantee resilience, and that functional diversity relies on 60 % of non-replaceable species. Eleven per cent of birds and 9 % of plants are endangered. As for ecosystem services, carbon storage in soil and vegetation is 41.6 and 173 MgC/ha (on average), respectively. One to four uses by Amazonian traditional communities were reported on 42 % of plants. In the vicinities of the protected area, we found that 66 % of crops (13 from 20 crop species) depend on pollinating bees, and the value of annual crop pollination service is US$4.5Mi. Regarding water protection and local climate regulation, data modelling has shown that the presence of protected forests leads to a 21 % increase in evapotranspiration and a decrease in temperature of 0.4 °C. Our framework showed a clear link between the megadiversity found in Amazonian tropical forest and the robust benefits provided to human welfare, highlighting forest conservation as a key element for sustainable development. Advances in understanding the value of forests stimulate significant new opportunities to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of forest conservation and management policies and decision-making.

我们提出了一种创新的方法，将自然和人联系起来，以评估亚马逊热带森林的自然资本。我们的研究地点是东亚马逊森林内的一个保护区，在那里我们定义了14个采样点，并分析了10个组成部分，其中包括现存森林的维护（自然本身）和生态系统服务的提供（自然对人）。生态系统功能评价采用5个分量，生态系统服务评价采用5个分量。在生态系统功能方面，动物467种（蜜蜂122种，蝴蝶53种，鸟类292种），植物418种，平均相互作用多样性为2.8（480种蜂-植物相互作用）。基于功能特征，我们发现至少83%的物种必须被保留以保证恢复力，而功能多样性依赖于60%的不可替代物种。11%的鸟类和9%的植物濒临灭绝。在生态系统服务功能方面，土壤和植被的碳储量平均分别为41.6和173 MgC/ha。据报道，亚马逊传统社区对42%的植物有一到四种利用。在保护区附近，我们发现66%的作物（20种作物中的13种）依赖传粉蜜蜂，每年作物授粉服务的价值为4.5亿美元。关于水保护和当地气候调节，数据建模显示，保护林的存在导致蒸散量增加21%，温度降低0.4℃。我们的框架显示了亚马逊热带森林中发现的巨型多样性与为人类福利提供的强大利益之间的明确联系，突出了森林保护是可持续发展的关键要素。对森林价值的认识取得进展，为提高森林养护和管理政策和决策的效力和效率提供了重要的新机会。

Concerns have been raised that payments for ecosystem services (PES) may crowd out land users’ non-monetary motivations to engage in conservation behavior. Especially once incentives are terminated, PES risk to be ineffective or even counterproductive. So far, research has produced mixed evidence. We present the first meta-analysis of studies that investigated crowding effects of PES through lab-in-the-field experiments with 2,894 real-world resource users taking 44,540 conservation decisions. On average, PES are successful in increasing conservation behavior and do not crowd out conservation behavior once incentives have been terminated. Although PES demonstrate greater effectiveness in settings where local resource users directly benefit compared to settings where third parties benefit, there is no evidence suggesting systematic differences in crowding effects between these two situations once PES have been terminated. Based on the available experimental evidence, the frequently voiced risk that PES crowd-out conservation, especially once payments are terminated, cannot be substantiated. However, methodological concerns regarding the internal and external validity of current experiments raise questions about the broader applicability of these findings. This paper outlines potential avenues for future research to address these challenges.

人们担心，生态系统服务（PES）的支付可能会排挤土地使用者参与保护行为的非金钱动机。特别是一旦激励措施终止，pe可能会失效甚至适得其反。到目前为止，研究得出的证据好坏参半。本文首次荟萃分析了通过对2,894名现实世界资源使用者进行的44,540项保护决策的实验室现场实验来调查PES拥挤效应的研究。平均而言，PES成功地增加了保护行为，并且一旦激励措施终止，不会排挤保护行为。尽管PES在本地资源使用者直接受益的情况下比第三方受益的情况下表现出更大的有效性，但没有证据表明，一旦PES终止，这两种情况之间的拥挤效应存在系统性差异。根据现有的实验证据，经常提出的PES挤占保护的风险，特别是一旦终止支付，是无法证实的。然而，关于当前实验的内部和外部有效性的方法学问题引发了对这些发现的更广泛适用性的质疑。本文概述了未来研究解决这些挑战的潜在途径。

Buyer-driven governance arrangements have emerged as a promising innovative approach to mitigate the degradation of ecosystem services (ES) in agricultural landscapes. In such arrangements, ES buyers, such as consumers, support ES provision by remunerating farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices through market-based mechanisms, such as price premiums for (certified) sustainably produced products. In this context, effective compliance enforcement is essential, as it assures ES buyers that the services are delivered in accordance with agreed guidelines. Consequently, the level of trust ES buyers place in the organisation responsible for enforcing compliance is critical. We applied a discrete choice experiment to investigate ES buyers’ preferences for the organisation responsible for compliance enforcement for sustainably produced agricultural products. The survey used conventionally managed apple orchards in Germany as a case study and focused on the implementation of ES measures (flower strips, hedgerows, flower strips plus hedgerows, and mechanical weed control instead of chemical control) to support regulating (biological pest control and pollination), cultural (enhancement of landscape aesthetics), and provisioning ES (production of marketable fruits). To elicit preferences regarding compliance enforcement, the survey included four organisations: a state agency, a farmers’ association, a conservation NGO, and a representative body – composed of relevant societal actors collectively responsible for implementing compliance enforcement. The survey included a representative sample of 901 ES buyers (apple consumers) drawn from the German population. We find that most ES buyers trust conservation NGO, representative body, and farmers’ association, while less than half trust state agency; furthermore, ES buyers are willing to pay a substantially higher premium when a trusted organisation is enforcing compliance. Regarding ES measures, we find that ES buyers are willing to pay price premiums for all measures supporting ES provision, with higher premiums for mechanical weed control and the combination flower strips plus hedgerows.

买方驱动的治理安排已成为缓解农业景观中生态系统服务（ES）退化的一种有希望的创新方法。在这种安排中，消费者等生态系统购买者通过市场机制，如（经认证的）可持续生产产品的溢价，奖励农民采用可持续农业做法，从而支持提供生态系统。在这种情况下，有效的遵从性执行是必不可少的，因为它向ES购买者保证服务是按照商定的指导方针交付的。因此，ES购买者对负责执行合规性的组织的信任程度至关重要。我们采用离散选择实验来调查ES购买者对负责可持续生产农产品合规执行的组织的偏好。该调查以德国传统管理的苹果园为例，重点研究了ES措施（花条、树篱、花条加树篱，以及机械杂草控制而不是化学控制）的实施情况，以支持调节（生物害虫控制和授粉）、文化（增强景观美学）和供应ES（生产可销售的水果）。为了了解人们对合规执行的偏好，调查包括了四个组织：一个国家机构、一个农民协会、一个环保非政府组织和一个代表机构——由相关的社会行动者组成，共同负责实施合规执行。该调查包括901名德国消费者（苹果消费者）的代表性样本。研究发现，大多数ES购买者信任环保非政府组织、代表机构和农民协会，而信任国家机构的不到一半；此外，当一个值得信赖的组织执行合规性时，ES买家愿意支付高得多的溢价。在ES措施方面，我们发现ES购买者愿意为所有支持ES提供的措施支付溢价，其中机械除草和花带加树篱组合的溢价更高。

The cryosphere, which refers to the parts of the Earth’s surface where water is in solid form, is a major contributor to human wellbeing through the provision of vital ecosystem services. These include, e.g., groundwater recharge, water storage and purification, climate regulation, and diverse cultural and spiritual benefits. A systematized classification of ecosystem services can be used to define, measure, and value the ways in which the cryosphere contributes to society and to communicate these benefits in a clear, transparent and scientifically sound way, yet, it has been missing to date. This study builds on previous literature exploring the cryosphere’s positive and negative impacts on human wellbeing in the context of rapid climate change. It further organises this knowledge on a global scale with a view to enhancing scientific exploration and policy guidance, along with facilitating comparability between different studies. Our research applies the Search-Appraisal-Synthesis-Analysis (SALSA) literature review method and the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) to source and systemise the existing information on ecosystem services and disservices provided by the cryosphere, and possible indicators for monitoring their changes are identified. A total of 30 ecosystem services and 10 disservices were identified, together with indicators that could be used to monitor their trends in biophysical, economic, and sociocultural terms. Our research finds that the cryosphere continues to provide vital ecosystem services despite accelerated retreat of glaciers and other cryospheric components, but also an increasing amount of ecosystem disservices because of global climate change. Monitoring trends in the cryosphere’s contributions to human wellbeing has the potential to inform adaptive governance in fast-changing cryospheric environments.

冰冻圈是指地球表面水以固体形式存在的部分，通过提供重要的生态系统服务，对人类福祉作出了重大贡献。其中包括地下水补给、水储存和净化、气候调节以及各种文化和精神效益。系统的生态系统服务分类可用于定义、测量和评估冰冻圈对社会的贡献方式，并以清晰、透明和科学合理的方式传达这些益处，然而，迄今为止还缺乏这种分类。这项研究建立在先前的文献基础上，探讨了在快速气候变化的背景下冰冻圈对人类福祉的积极和消极影响。它进一步在全球范围内组织这些知识，以期加强科学探索和政策指导，同时促进不同研究之间的可比性。我们的研究采用搜索-评估-综合-分析（SALSA）文献综述方法和国际生态系统服务共同分类（CICES）来获取和系统化冰冻圈提供的生态系统服务和危害的现有信息，并确定了监测其变化的可能指标。共确定了30种生态系统服务和10种有害服务，以及可用于监测其生物物理、经济和社会文化趋势的指标。我们的研究发现，尽管冰川和其他冰冻圈成分加速退缩，但由于全球气候变化，生态系统的危害也在增加，冰冻圈继续提供重要的生态系统服务。监测冰冻圈对人类福祉贡献的趋势有可能为快速变化的冰冻圈环境中的适应性治理提供信息。

Kelp forests are globally significant ecosystems providing critical ecosystem services, including fish production, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and recreational uses. However, widespread degradation caused by anthropogenic pressures has led to significant declines in kelp forests, necessitating cost-effective restoration strategies. This study performs a spatially explicit benefit-cost analysis of kelp forest restoration in southern Australia to explore how variations in costs and benefits can inform prioritisation of restoration strategies. Costs of ecosystem restoration were calculated based on the time to cull overabundant sea urchins from each location and for active kelp restoration costs. We found that investing in kelp forest restoration at the broad-scale (3,291 ha) returns a positive benefit-cost ratio of 1.10 (where 1.0 is break-even). There was substantial site-specific variation in the benefit-cost ratio (0.33 to 3.4), driven by variation in predicted kelp biomass and thus nitrogen storage benefits ($0 − $105,000 /ha). For culling costs, this varied based on urchin density, the depth (dive time) and travel time to the site. Given this variation, we considered another scenario where only the reefs that returned a positive benefit-cost ration were restored (1,221 ha), which would deliver $92.1 million in benefits, from an investment of $43.9 million and would result in a benefit-cost ratio of 2.10. This research demonstrates how spatial prioritisation can guide investments in marine ecosystem restoration to maximise return on investment. However, while kelp restoration proves beneficial, realising its potential will require robust funding mechanisms (perhaps via market-based incentives), which are currently lacking.

海带林是全球重要的生态系统，提供重要的生态系统服务，包括鱼类生产、养分循环、碳封存和娱乐用途。然而，人为压力造成的广泛退化已导致海带林大幅减少，因此需要具有成本效益的恢复战略。本研究对南澳大利亚海带森林恢复进行了空间明确的效益-成本分析，以探索成本和效益的变化如何为恢复策略的优先级提供信息。生态系统恢复的成本是根据从每个地点剔除过剩海胆的时间和主动海带恢复的成本来计算的。我们发现，在大范围（3291公顷）投资海带林恢复的正收益成本比为1.10（其中1.0为收支平衡）。由于预测海带生物量的变化和氮储存效益（0 - 105,000美元/公顷）的变化，效益-成本比（0.33至3.4）在不同地点有很大的差异。对于扑杀成本，这取决于海胆密度、深度（潜水时间）和到达地点的旅行时间。考虑到这种变化，我们考虑了另一种情况，即只有回报为正的效益-成本比率的珊瑚礁被恢复（1,221公顷），这将从4390万美元的投资中获得9210万美元的效益，并将导致效益-成本比为2.10。该研究展示了空间优先排序如何指导海洋生态系统恢复投资，以实现投资回报最大化。然而，尽管海带恢复被证明是有益的，但实现其潜力将需要强有力的资助机制（可能是通过基于市场的激励机制），而这正是目前所缺乏的。

Ecosystem services (ES) are crucial for livelihoods, the economy and good quality of life, making them essential for sustaining human well-being. However, perceptions of ES can vary according to economic and social factors. In this study, we compare people’s perceptions of ES across developing and developed countries by exploring local communities and visitors’ socio-cultural values attached to ES in the Eastern Province of Zambia (Eastern Africa) and Tyrol (Central Europe) using questionnaire surveys (N = 243). The results indicate that the respondents’ region of origin, education level, gender, age, and socio-economic status play a significant role in the perception of ES. Provisioning, regulation & maintenance ES are perceived as generally more important in Eastern Africa than in Central Europe, whereas respondents in Central Europe attribute higher importance to cultural ES. For some ES, gender type, age group, living place, and educational level also influence perception. These socio- economic differences are underlined by the ranking of ES in terms of personal importance. In Eastern Africa, the ES ‘food from agriculture’, ‘natural hazard protection’, ‘prevention of water scarcity’ and ‘climate regulation’ are particularly important. In Europe, the most frequently chosen ES are ‘opportunity for leisure activities’ and ‘peaceful places and tranquillity’. Our findings provide insights into the socio-cultural importance of benefits provided by nature across two socio-economic different contexts, suggesting that decision-making processes will need be responsive to context differences and different needs depending on economic and social background.

生态系统服务对生计、经济和良好的生活质量至关重要，对维持人类福祉至关重要。然而，对ES的看法会因经济和社会因素而有所不同。在本研究中，我们通过问卷调查（N = 243），探讨了赞比亚东部省（东非）和蒂罗尔（中欧）的当地社区和游客对ES的社会文化价值，比较了发展中国家和发达国家人们对ES的看法。结果表明，被调查者的原籍地区、受教育程度、性别、年龄和社会经济地位对社会服务感知有显著影响。供应、调节&；在东非，人们普遍认为维持社会服务比中欧更重要，而中欧的受访者则认为文化社会服务更重要。对于某些ES，性别类型、年龄组、居住地点和教育水平也会影响感知。这些社会经济上的差异被ES在个人重要性方面的排名所强调。在东非，ES“农业粮食”、“自然灾害保护”、“预防水资源短缺”和“气候调节”尤为重要。在欧洲，最常被选择的社会价值是“休闲活动的机会”和“和平的地方和宁静”。我们的研究结果为两种不同社会经济背景下自然带来的好处的社会文化重要性提供了见解，表明决策过程需要根据经济和社会背景对环境差异和不同需求做出反应。

Major infrastructure development is required for economic development and to improve human well-being, however conflict exists between developers and the community. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is used in over 100 countries to evaluate potential impacts of major developments across environment, economy, and social benchmarks. However, EIA has been criticized for a lack of transparency and accountability, lack of consultation or participation and inadequate science. An ecosystem service assessment (ESA) recognizes the links between the environment and the socio-economic environment, resulting in a more holistic evaluation of potential impacts and effective community consultation. Despite this, its inclusion within EIA’s is rare.

An ESA was trialled within the evaluation stage of an EIA for a large capital dredging project in Adelaide, South Australia, an area dominated by long-lived seagrass. The process highlighted significant value to society from seagrass meadows, delivering provisioning, regulating and cultural services and many of these were at risk from the dredging proposal causing conflict with the community. The ESA provided clarity in links between ecological and social economic systems, assisting genuine and transparent engagement with the stakeholders and community. Monetary valuation of services provided context to decision makers arguing for changes to proposed methodology to protect seagrass and ecosystem services. Changes to the proposal resulted in substantially less seagrass loss than originally proposed, helping protect ecosystem services. This case study demonstrated the benefit of including an ESA into major development planning, increasing transparency, reducing conflict with the community, and assisting in providing a social licence to operate.

经济发展和改善人类福祉需要大型基础设施建设，但开发商和社区之间存在冲突。100多个国家使用环境影响评估（EIA）来评估主要开发项目在环境、经济和社会方面的潜在影响。然而，环境影响评估一直被批评缺乏透明度和问责制，缺乏咨询和参与，缺乏科学依据。生态系统服务评估认识到环境与社会经济环境之间的联系，从而对潜在影响进行更全面的评价，并进行有效的社区协商。尽管如此，将其纳入EIA的情况很少见。在南澳大利亚阿德莱德的一个大型资本疏浚项目的环境影响评估阶段试用了ESA，该地区主要是长寿命的海草。这一过程强调了海草草甸对社会的重要价值，提供供应、管理和文化服务，其中许多服务因疏浚提案而面临风险，导致与社区发生冲突。ESA明确了生态和社会经济系统之间的联系，有助于与利益相关者和社区进行真正和透明的接触。服务的货币评估为决策者提供了背景，他们主张改变保护海草和生态系统服务的拟议方法。对提案的修改大大减少了海草的损失，有助于保护生态系统服务。本案例研究展示了将ESA纳入主要发展规划、增加透明度、减少与社区的冲突以及协助提供运营社会许可证的好处。

Despite the increasing attention towards the socioeconomic role of wild forest products (WFPs) − also known as non-wood forest products (NWFPs) − their function as cultural service has yet to receive a comprehensive quantification. This, at least partially, is due to the attention given to WFPs as provisioning services, and their commercial values in the rural economy. In this study, we combined for the first time the economic evaluation of forest ecosystem services with a Social Accounting Matrix methodology to analyse the social component of WFPs in three European countries, namely Czechia, Italy, and Sweden. We estimated that WFPs have a direct effect on transport services, as well as food and accommodation services. At the same time, we estimated the value of household wellbeing via non-market valuation. Overall, our results highlight the value that cultural services linked to WFPs add to European bioeconomy. A better understanding of the complete range of available resources offered by forests can inform future policy decisions aimed at enhancing the socioeconomic benefits for societies while sustainably managing forest ecosystems.

尽管人们越来越关注野生森林产品（也称为非木质森林产品）的社会经济作用，但其作为文化服务的功能尚未得到全面的量化。这至少部分是由于重视粮食计划署作为提供服务的作用及其在农村经济中的商业价值。在这项研究中，我们首次将森林生态系统服务的经济评价与社会核算矩阵方法结合起来，分析了三个欧洲国家（捷克、意大利和瑞典）世界粮食计划署的社会组成部分。我们估计粮食计划署对运输服务以及食品和住宿服务有直接影响。同时，我们通过非市场估值来估计家庭幸福的价值。总体而言，我们的研究结果突出了与世界粮食计划署相关的文化服务对欧洲生物经济的价值。更好地了解森林提供的全部可用资源，可以为未来的政策决定提供信息，这些决策旨在提高社会的社会经济效益，同时可持续地管理森林生态系统。
