了解自然的经济价值及其为人类提供的服务，对于地方、国家和全球的政策和决策变得越来越重要。很明显，量化这些服务并将其纳入决策对于可持续发展至关重要。出现的问题是，生态系统提供的商品和服务没有正式市场，很难获得有意义的价值。许多生态系统服务都属于这一类别。当经济方法应用不当以及当生态系统维护对人类福祉的重要性被低估时，就会出现其他问题。在这篇文章中，我们确定了一个地方的多元方法支持的生态经济学和评估的进展，迄今为止，在生态系统服务提供环境评估的应用中的货币估值。我们首先审查了生态系统服务的定义，以便与估值方法建立业务联系。然后，我们讨论了生态系统服务的提供和效益捕获的空间显着性。我们强调的重要性，估值边际变化和宏观估值的作用，非线性的服务效益，和非凸性（阈值效应）的意义。我们还审查指导评估研究的质量保证，并讨论了固有的问题，在方法暴露的行为经济学的研究结果，以及与利益转移，最常见的方式评估研究应用于政策过程。我们认为，一个连续的决策支持系统，可以导致一个更综合和严格的方法，生态系统服务的环境评估和生物物理测量。因此，这一制度本身需要纳入一个更全面的多标准评估对话和进程。
Understanding the economic value of nature and the services it provides to humanity has become increasingly important for local, national, and global policy and decision making. It has become obvious that quantifying and integrating these services into decision making will be crucial for sustainable development. Problems arise in that it is difficult to obtain meaningful values for the goods and services that ecosystems provide and for which there is no formal market. A wide range of ecosystem services fall into this category. Additional problems arise when economic methods are applied inappropriately and when the importance of ecosystem maintenance for human welfare is underestimated. In this article we identify a place for monetary valuation within the pluralistic approach supported by ecological economics and assess progress to date in the application of environmental valuation to ecosystem service provision. We first review definitions of ecosystem services in order to make an operational link to valuation methods. We then discuss the spatially explicit nature of ecosystem services provision and benefits capture. We highlight the importance of valuing marginal changes and the role for macroscale valuation, nonlinearities in service benefits, and the significance of nonconvexities (threshold effects). We also review guidance on valuation studies quality assurance, and discuss the problems inherent in the methodology as exposed by the findings of behavioral economics, as well as with benefits transfer—the most common way valuation studies are applied in the policy process. We argue for a sequential decision support system that can lead to a more integrated and rigorous approach to environmental valuation and biophysical measurement of ecosystem services. This system itself then needs to be encompassed within a more comprehensive multicriteria assessment dialogue and process.
