生物多样性对社会具有价值，包括通过其对文化利益的贡献：“人们通过精神丰富、认知发展、反思、娱乐和审美体验从生物多样性和生态系统服务中获得非物质利益”。生物多样性包含许多措施，但这些措施的独特价值却很少被研究。我们进行了一项离散选择实验，以了解受访者 (n = 3000) 是否愿意为增加英国沿海生态系统鸟类多样性的四项指标付费：鸟类种类数量（物种丰富度）、个体鸟类数量（丰度）、看到稀有或不寻常鸟类物种的概率以及看到大群鸟类的概率（野生动物奇观）。受访者非常愿意（通过一次性自愿捐款）为所有四项措施的增加付费（平均每个家庭 3 至 5 英镑）。然而，通过潜在类别分析，我们发现偏好存在相当大的异质性，确定了四类受访者对这四种措施的支付边际意愿水平显着不同。收入、年龄、环境活动、环境环境访问和性别是阶级成员的重要决定因素。在关注鸟类的同时，我们的结果证明了生物多样性多维概念化在更广泛的生态系统管理中的重要性，而不是专注于物种丰富度或丰度等单一方面。我们的研究结果还强调了公众对生物多样性的不同偏好对自然资源保护者、规划者、海岸线管理者和开发商的影响。在制定生态系统服务新框架以及规划和资助保护行动时需要考虑这些因素，以便在一系列社会群体中获得文化效益。
Biodiversity is valuable to society, including through its contribution to cultural benefits: “the non-material benefits people obtain from biodiversity and ecosystem services through spiritual enrichment, cognitive development, reflection, recreation, and aesthetic experiences”. Biodiversity encompasses numerous measures, but the distinct values of these measures have been little studied. We conducted a discrete choice experiment to elicit respondents’ (n = 3000) willingness to pay for increases in four measures of bird diversity in UK coastal ecosystems: number of bird species (species richness), number of individual birds (abundance), probability of seeing rare or unusual bird species, and probability of seeing large flocks of birds (wildlife spectacles). Respondents had a positive willingness to pay (through one-time voluntary donations) for increases in all four measures (mean £3 to £5 per household). However, using latent class analysis we found considerable heterogeneity of preferences, identifying four classes of respondents with strikingly different levels of marginal willingness to pay for the four measures. Income, age, environmental activity, visits to environmental settings, and gender were important determinants of class membership. While focussing on birds, our results demonstrate the importance of a multi-dimensional conceptualisation of biodiversity in broader ecosystem management, rather than focussing on a single aspect such as species richness or abundance. Our findings also highlight the implications of heterogeneous public preferences for biodiversity for conservationists, planners, shoreline managers and developers. These need to be considered in the development of new frameworks for ecosystem services, and when planning and funding conservation actions so that the cultural benefits will accrue across a range of social groups.
