本文试图通过考虑生态系统服务评估与这类服务的经济分析相结合的方式，对不断扩大的生态系统服务评估文献作出贡献。将重点放在对面向未来的政策和决策的分析上，我们最初考虑的是将生态存量维持在可持续水平的单一时期。考虑了生态系统服务的流动及其对福利产品的贡献，并通过土地利用变化的案例研究，对由此产生的效益的评估方法进行了回顾和说明。然后我们扩大我们的时间范围，讨论如何处理未来的成本和收益。最后，我们放宽了我们的可持续性假设，考虑了将枯竭的生态资产纳入其中的经济方法，特别关注那些显示出恢复受到损害的门槛的种群。
The paper seeks to contribute to the expanding literature on ecosystem service assessment by considering its integration with economic analyses of such services. Focussing upon analyses for future orientated policy and decision making, we initially consider a single period during which ecological stocks are maintained at sustainable levels. The flow of ecosystems services and their contribution to welfare bearing goods is considered and methods for valuing resultant benefits are reviewed and illustrated via a case study of land use change. We then broaden our time horizon to discuss the treatment of future costs and benefits. Finally we relax our sustainability assumption and consider economic approaches to the incorporation of depleting ecological assets with a particular focus upon stocks which exhibit thresholds below which restoration is compromised.
