Central to any attempt to maintain the crucial services of the environment is the need to have accurate information regarding the value of the services provided by natural resources, ecosystems and biodiversity. This is problematic both because those values are generally not reflected in readily available market prices and, more fundamentally, because of a general failure to bring together the natural, economic and social science necessary to develop the methods and research capacity required to address those valuation knowledge gaps. The current proposal represents an important step in addressing this underlying research capacity and integrated methodology problem. It is the product of an internationally renowned team of natural, economic and social scientists who have an established track record of high quality research both as individuals and collaboratively (the latter most notably as the key players within the UK National Ecosystem Assessment; NEA). Furthermore, even within the short research call period they have assembled the explicit, written backing of a very extensive network of further researchers from multiple fields drawn from across the UK and internationally. The Investigators propose the following programme to address the central research themes through a series of highly integrated workstreams (WS): Theme 1: Broadening the ecosystem service concept. - WS 1: Bridging research disciplines and engaging stakeholders Theme 2: Developing integrated valuation methods - WS 2.1 Valuing Ecosystem Service Flows: Addressing Natural Resource Complexity and Indirect Impacts - WS 2.2: Valuing the Sustainability of Stocks of Ecosystem Assets - WS 2.3: Integrating quantitative and qualitative valuation methods Theme 3: Improving understanding of ecosystem processes underpinning services. - WS 3.1: Metrics of changes in ecosystem processes, natural resource stocks and ecosystem services in the face of uncertainty. - WS 3.2: Understanding how changes in biodiversity influence ecosystem service delivery. - WS 3.3: Improved accessibility to, and integration of, existing biophysical and socio-economic information/ data sets. - WS 3.4: Developing integrated biophysical and socio-economic modelling of natural resources and ecosystem services, at relevant spatial and temporal scales, addressing risk and uncertainty. While we believe the proposed programme addresses the key issues, in line with the requirements of the call for proposals, this will be refined collaboratively within the first two months of the network's operation (and finalised resource allocations made accordingly) through a process of engagement with the wider research and policy communities. The final programme will be implemented through a series of pan-network open meetings and further intra-workstream meetings. In an effort to ensure that key issues are tackled and 'talking-shops' avoided, certain key activities (notably the development of a highly integrated valuation methodology) will be supported by empirical elements, designed to work in symbiosis with the allied network activities by tackling some of the most challenging areas of collaborative work. An annual meeting (in months 12 and 22) will bring together outputs from all themes and work streams and present these to an open national and international audience. Outputs will be further disseminated through: a dedicated website (also used as a first port of call for all interested parties); theme position papers and reports intended for various audiences including researchers and policymakers with the former aimed towards publication in peer reviewed journals; a pan-network synthesis report for which an offer of publication as a book has been received.

任何维护环境的关键服务的努力的核心是，需要掌握关于自然资源、生态系统和生物多样性所提供服务的价值的准确信息。这是有问题的，因为这些价值通常没有反映在现成的市场价格中，更根本的是，因为普遍未能汇集必要的自然、经济和社会科学，以制定解决这些估值知识差距所需的方法和研究能力。目前的建议是解决这一根本的研究能力和综合方法问题的重要一步。它是一个国际知名的自然，经济和社会科学家团队的产物，他们作为个人和合作（后者最值得注意的是英国国家生态系统评估的关键参与者; NEA）的高质量研究的既定记录。此外，即使在很短的研究呼叫期间，他们已经收集了来自英国和国际多个领域的进一步研究人员的非常广泛的网络的明确的书面支持。研究人员提出了以下方案，通过一系列高度集成的工作流程（WS）来解决中心研究主题：主题1：扩大生态系统服务概念。- WS 1：主题2：开发综合评估方法- WS 2.1评估生态系统服务流量：解决自然资源复杂性和间接影响- WS 2.2：评估生态系统资产存量的可持续性- WS 2.3：整合定量和定性评估方法主题3：提高对支撑服务的生态系统过程的理解。- WS 3.1：面对不确定性，生态系统进程、自然资源储量和生态系统服务的变化。- WS 3.2：了解生物多样性的变化如何影响生态系统服务的提供。- WS 3.3：改进现有生物物理和社会经济信息/数据集的获取和整合。- WS 3.4：在相关的空间和时间尺度上建立自然资源和生态系统服务的综合生物物理和社会经济模型，应对风险和不确定性。虽然我们认为拟议的方案解决了关键问题，但根据征求建议书的要求，这将在网络运行的头两个月内通过与更广泛的研究和政策界的接触过程进行协作完善（并相应地最终确定资源分配）。最终方案将通过一系列泛网络公开会议和进一步的工作流程内会议来实施。为了确保解决关键问题，避免“清谈”，某些关键活动（特别是制定高度综合的估值方法）将得到经验因素的支持，旨在通过解决一些最具挑战性的合作领域，与联合网络活动共生。年度会议（在12月和22月举行）将汇集所有专题和工作流程的产出，并向公开的国家和国际受众介绍这些产出。将通过以下方式进一步传播产出：一个专门网站（也用作所有有关各方的第一个求助点）;面向包括研究人员和决策者在内的各种受众的主题立场文件和报告，前者旨在在同行评审期刊上发表;一份泛网络综合报告，已收到出版书的提议。
