This study addresses the gap in comprehensive ecosystem services assessment and uses the Co$tingNature mapping tool and stakeholder’s perceptions to examine the spatial distribution of ecosystem service magnitudes and perceived local value in the Upper White Nile basin in East Africa, an area facing significant resource pressures. The analysis reveals a heterogeneous distribution of ecosystem services, with a notable concentration of ecosystem service delivery in the western regions of the basin in Uganda. The Co$tingNature assessment emphasises the widespread spatial distribution of carbon storage and sequestration and agriculture related services, while stakeholders highly value more localised services such as water provision and artisanal fisheries. Using both methods proves crucial, as Co$tingNature offers cost-effective whole-area spatial assessments, whereas stakeholder perceptions provide insights into local concerns and values. This study underscores the importance of complementing global tools with local knowledge, as these tools may otherwise lack relevance in local policy spheres. By incorporating stakeholder perspectives into conservation planning, the study highlights the need to integrate aquatic and agriculture-related ecosystem services into local policies and conservation strategies in the Upper White Nile basin. Leveraging tools like Co$tingNature alongside stakeholder perspectives enhances our understanding of ecosystem dynamics and facilitates more effective environmental management strategies in the region. This combined approach offers a practical framework for ecosystem service assessments that can both contextualise and mobilise conservation efforts, bridging the gap between locally valued services and those with global significance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 101688"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143183200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its standardized approach, certain areas require improvement, particularly concerning impacts on ecosystem structure, function, and associated ecosystem services. Given the significant pressure of agriculture on global ecosystems, research has attempted to establish characterization factors (CFs) that reflect the impact of agricultural practices on ecosystem services. However, the current CFs lack precision and are unable to differentiate between the various types and intensities of agricultural management. This study aims to contribute to the evolving LCA field by introducing novel CFs that allow for the assessment of the impacts and benefits of growing wheat under different agricultural practices on three ecosystem services: water purification, soil erosion control, and carbon sequestration. Spatially explicit, nonlinear models (InVEST and RothC) were used, with the Galician region of northwestern Spain as the spatial setting. The quantified CFs indicated that wheat cultivated with conventional tillage, straw removal and without cover crop exhibited the least favorable outcomes in terms of ecosystem service supply, specifically water purification (13.29 kg N·ha<sup>−1</sup>·y<sup>-1</sup>), soil erosion control (11.71 t soil·ha<sup>−1</sup>·y<sup>-1</sup>), and carbon sequestration (45.41 t C·ha<sup>−1</sup>·y<sup>-1</sup>). In contrast, the combination of conservation tillage, straw return and cover crop resulted in the highest ecosystem services gains (−0.46 kg N·ha<sup>−1</sup>·y<sup>-1</sup>, 2.64 t soil·ha<sup>−1</sup>·y<sup>-1</sup>, 7.05 t C·ha<sup>−1</sup>·y<sup>-1</sup>, respectively). The geographical specificity of the CFs presented here, combined with the detailed classification of agricultural land use, offers essential insights into the potential gains and losses of ecosystem services resulting from various farming practices.

Eastern redcedar and switchgrass exhibited an imbalance in services, while oak woodland’s ranking varied with normalization methods. Our results highlight the need for grassland conservation by curtailment of eastern redcedar expansion. While oak woodland ranks high in cultural services, its restoration is recommended to enhance multiple ecosystem services.

However, most policy appraisal studies in river management to date have a limited scope and focus on impacts of measures in a single domain, such as flood risk reduction or water quality. In this study we address this gap by using quantitative models to analyse the supply of 13 ecosystem services under various RFM strategies for the Rhine Branches in the Netherlands. We use a mix of biophysical and monetary indicators to quantitatively assess ecosystem services and the trade-offs involved in different RFM strategies. The results show that strongly regulated, mono-functional RFM has overall lower ES supply than more integrated, multifunctional RFM strategies with rehabilitated floodplains. The latter generally increase ES supply across all domains (provisioning, regulating, cultural), with the exception of crop and fodder production in the floodplains. Overall, our results can inform formulation and communication on RFM strategies in the Netherlands and elsewhere.

The objective of this research is to critically analyze current applications of CBA on urban NBS in the scientific literature, identifying trends, limitations, and research gaps. To achieve this, we conducted a systematic review of articles published between 2000 and 2022, resulting in 114 observations of CBAs for urban NBS. The review compared CBA approaches and scales, focusing on the monetary valuation of costs and benefits, as well as the spatial and temporal dynamics of benefits. Our results indicate a predominance of CBAs with a social, as opposed to private, perspective, and with a focus on building solutions and small-scale NBS interventions. Moreover, we found a general lack of consideration for environmental externalities among the costs, and an incomplete inclusion of the full range of benefits, often due to difficulties in estimating their monetary values.

So far, the distributional inequalities in ES supply have been assessed only implicitly through the identification of ES bundles that yield hotspots and coldspots, whereas explicit analyses of how ES supply is shaped by distributional (in)equalities are lacking. Taking southern Chile as a case study, we applied a clustering approach at the municipality scale (n = 177), using data at the property level to identify archetypes in (i) the supply of eight ES and (ii) the (in)equalities of that supply using the Gini coefficient. We then analyzed the spatial co-occurrence between ES supply and (in)equality archetypes, to identify which patterns of (in)equality intersect with the supply of ES. We obtained six ES supply archetypes and ten (in)equality archetypes that showed characteristic spatial patterns. Supply archetypes were spatially dominated by a single archetype, which had below average values in the supply of all ES. Contrarily, (in)equality archetypes presented a more heterogeneous distribution across the study area. ES supply archetypes were defined by regulating and cultural ES, whereas (in)equality archetypes were shaped by provisioning and regulating ES. Spatial co-occurrence analysis showed that the dominant ES supply archetype encompassed all (in)equality archetypes – suggesting that property structure can modulate the (in)equality at which ES are supplied. We discuss the policy and management implications arising from the different co-occurring levels of ES supply and (in)equalities.
