A Web-Accessible Knowledge Base for the Integrated Analysis and Valuation of Ecosystem Services

客观评价世界生态系统和服务及其自然资本存量是一个具有全球重要性的问题。 拟议的活动对收集的信息档案采用功能建模方法。 由此产生的分析工具应证明对科学和决策界的广泛部门有用。 拟议的活动将产生一个基于网络的、可公开访问的资源，用于主要数据存储和随后的建模，供政策制定和科学研究使用。

The objective valuation of the world's ecological systems and services and its natural capital stocks is an issue of global importance. The proposed activity applies a functional modeling approach to collected information archives. The resulting analysis tools should prove useful to a broad sector of the science and policy making community. The proposed activities would lead to a web-based, publicly accessible resource for primary data storage and subsequent modeling for use in policy development as well as scientific research.
