越来越多的关于生态系统服务的文献表明，这些效益是生态系统对人类福祉做出的直接或间接贡献。尽管评估生态系统服务的方法似乎很简单，但在实践中存在许多挑战。大多数生态系统服务没有市场化，通常很难确定生态系统结构、功能和过程的变化如何影响流向人类的生态系统服务的数量和质量。只有克服这些困难，才有可能利用现有的评估方法来评估生态系统服务变化对人类福祉的影响。讨论了湿地生态系统的例子以及来自发展中经济体、美国和欧洲的案例研究，以说明定价性质涉及的这些问题。
The growing literature on ecosystem services suggests that these benefits are the direct or indirect contributions that ecosystems make to the well-being of human populations. Although the approach to valuing ecosystem services seems straightforward, in practice there are a number of challenges. The majority of ecosystem services are not marketed, and it is often difficult to determine how changes in ecosystem structure, functions, and processes influence the quantities and qualities of ecosystem service flows to people. Only when these difficulties are overcome is it possible to use existing valuation methods to assess the impact on human well-being that results from a change in ecosystem services. The example of wetland ecosystems and case studies from developing economies, the United States, and Europe are discussed to illustrate these issues involved in pricing nature.
