生态系统的特征和过程为人类健康和福祉提供了重要价值，人们越来越有兴趣量化这些价值。特别令人感兴趣的是与水有关的生态系统服务以及将其价值纳入地方和区域决策。这给水文建模界带来了多重挑战和机遇。为了激励水资源研究的进展，我们首先提出了三个常见的决策环境，借鉴了生态系统服务框架：情景分析，流域服务的支付和空间规划。在这些背景下，我们强调水文建模的特殊挑战，然后提出了一系列的机会，从生态系统服务的决策。本文最后提出了一系列建议，说明我们如何优先考虑我们的工作，以支持基于生态系统服务评估的决策。
Ecosystem characteristics and processes provide significant value to human health and wellbeing, and there is growing interest in quantifying those values. Of particular interest are water-related ecosystem services and the incorporation of their value into local and regional decision making. This presents multiple challenges and opportunities to the hydrologic-modeling community. To motivate advances in water-resources research, we first present three common decision contexts that draw upon an ecosystemservice framework: scenario analysis, payments for watershed services, and spatial planning. Within these contexts, we highlight the particular challenges to hydrologic modeling, and then present a set of opportunities that arise from ecosystem-service decisions. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations regarding how we can prioritize our work to support decisions based on ecosystem-service valuation.
