This is larger than the area of tropical forests and all types of wetlands combined. However, desert ecosystems are among the least studied in terms of their ecosystem services (ES), especially those that arise from species and processes unique to deserts. There are numerous research gaps that need to be filled including: (1) ignorance of unique desert ES, as well as deserts’ special effects on ES; (2) limited application of sophisticated approaches for economic valuation of desert ES; and (3) lack of diverse approaches to values and valuation. Moreover, payment for ecosystem services (PES) schemes are often used to combat desertification rather than for conserving well-functioning deserts. Valuation of desert ES is crucial to implementation of PES through raising awareness of overlooked deserts, motivating investment, designing payment amounts, and estimating the social benefit-cost ratios of payments. In addition to market-based voluntary PES, common asset trusts (CATs) following Ostrom’s eight core design principles may also contribute to sustainable management of desert ecosystems. Future research should explore unique desert ES, investigate the relationships between desert ES and geosystem services, improve accuracy of economic valuation of desert ES, and integrate diverse perspectives of values. The research results may potentially aid in both combatting desertification and conserving important deserts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101607"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000135/pdfft?md5=17836ce0d72f346a99c6e8d5f05f205c&pid=1-s2.0-S2212041624000135-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139942596","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}

This study presents a conservation strategy for Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, an area renowned for its unique ecological features. We developed the strategy by evaluating 12 scenarios involving the establishment of protected areas (PAs) and the use of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). The purpose of this evaluation was not to enhance ecosystem services and biodiversity directly but rather to identify strategies that could achieve these goals in a financially feasible way, considering the various cost and land ownership factors. Our findings revealed that conservation prioritization targets are primarily located in the central and eastern regions of Jeju Island, where ecosystem services are concentrated, and levels of biodiversity are high. The expansion of conservation targets from 17% to 30% entailed increased costs, largely due to the increased inclusion of private lands and agricultural areas. The introduction of OECMs provided a means to improve ecological network and representation within conservation networks. We also found that applying penalties to improve the boundary lengths of PAs could lead to more cost-effective conservation strategies. Although expanding conservation targets to 30% led to significant shifts in land ownership patterns and increased conservation costs, the benefits to biodiversity and provision of ecosystem services were substantial. This study provided valuable insights into the determination of conservation planning through the harmonization of biodiversity prot ection, provision of ecosystem services, and consideration of economic costs related to patterns of land use and ownership. The results can aid policymakers and stakeholders in making informed decisions about resource allocation in biodiversity conservation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101605"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139907757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the major pests affecting this crop is the striped rice stem borer moth (<em>Chilo suppressalis</em>), a widespread species found in Australasia, Asia and southern Europe. Bats are paramount insect consumers and their role as natural pest controllers in agriculture has been increasingly acknowledged, including in rice paddies. In this study we quantify, for the first time in Europe, the economic value of the ecosystem services provided by insectivorous bats as suppressors of a rice pest through exclusion experiments in rice plantations in Spain. Our study design included exclosures that prevented bats from hunting over some experimental areas, combined with molecular analyses of bat guano. By assessing the crop damage levels caused by <em>C. supressalis</em> inside and outside the exclosures, we showed that pest impact almost doubled in the absence of bats (94.5 % of damage increase). We estimated that bats were preventing crop losses of almost 70 kg of rice per hectare on average, which in economic terms would imply savings of 56€/ha. If we extrapolate our results to the national level, these values could reach up to 7.6 tonnes of rice, or more than 6 million euros saved by bats per year in Spain. Our findings highlight the importance of implementing management measures that favour bat populations in agrosystems as part of the Integrated Pest Management strategies to fight harmful insects, thereby increasing yields and land productivity in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101603"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000093/pdfft?md5=298a4889ce25d029b43b0ea7d024c3a3&pid=1-s2.0-S2212041624000093-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139907758","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}

This paper presents the status and opportunities for Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) arrangements in Australia, with a focus on Indigenous peoples in northern Australia. We reviewed 62 studies related to the distribution and extent of the predominant PES schemes globally and nationally in Australia, including different ecosystems (e.g. forest, water, savannas, etc.), spatial scale (e.g. local, regional or global), types of payment methods used for ecosystem services (ES) transactions, types of ES providers and beneficiaries, funders, users, and contract arrangements and related challenges. Globally, 54% of the studies were supported by government investment, 17% by private–public, and only 29% by private investment. 80% of studies focused on forests as the most common ecosystem for PES, with 61% of the PES arrangements implemented at a local scale, 16% at a catchment scale and the rest (23%) at a national scale. In 33% of the studies, a single ES is the focus for the system, i.e. water quality or carbon sequestration; in 37% of studies a bundled approach was followed where typically &gt; 1–2 services are included as a bundle; and in another 7% stacked ES were included. Within Australia, six main schemes were considered to be PES, i.e. Conservation Agreements, Water trading (buyback) in the Murray Darling Basin, Reef Credits, Carbon Farming, the Queensland Land Restoration Fund, and the Indigenous Protected Areas and Caring for Country programmes on Indigenous lands. About 90% these programmes are funded by the Australian Government, focusing on carbon or biodiversity outcomes, with little consideration of Indigenous values. From an Indigenous perspective, a bottom-up PES approach incorporating the social and cultural aspirations of Indigenous people is preferred. Traditional management with low transaction costs, combining both socio-economic and environmental attributes as verifiable measures, can yield conservation as well as positive socio-economic outcomes for Indigenous communities in Australia and elsewhere. Empowering local communities, recognising and supporting their skills and knowledge, ensuring equitable and just distribution of funds, sustainable and reliable co-designed incentives are essential for the success of these fast-emerging opportunities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101600"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000068/pdfft?md5=59c462026083b0c75d6b2226f00d8449&pid=1-s2.0-S2212041624000068-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139710077","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}

However, this task has been hindered by the complexity of the ecological and socio-economic attributes of ESs, and questions remain, such as how to incorporate the demand for ESs, and ensure equity among beneficiary groups. To successfully align conservation investments with local needs, we implemented the “serviceshed” concept (the geographical area where ecosystems deliver a service to a group of beneficiaries) in a novel planning approach, setting conservation targets based on ES demand. We expand on how neglecting peoples’ location and socio-economic vulnerability status while quantifying ES demand can lead to inequity issues. We tested our conceptual framework in an urban case study with the ESs of flood and heat island attenuation using a systematic conservation planning methodology that considers population vulnerability. We compared our novel approach to one that does not consider servicesheds while prioritizing sites and tested the impact of three metrics of ES demand on addressing equity issues: i) demand area, ii) number of beneficiaries, and iii) vulnerability-weighted number of beneficiaries. We showed that accounting for the spatial location of the different beneficiaries via servicesheds increased distributional equity by a factor of five. Considering vulnerability while quantifying ES demand also ensured that socio-economic equity was addressed, by factoring in peoples’ reliance on these services. The proposed approach holds significant potential in cultivating an ‘equitable space for conservation’ by aiding practitioners in linking ES supply with local beneficiaries while accounting for their vulnerability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101597"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reviews recent public and private sector efforts to address this biodiversity finance gap and suggests priorities to increase progress toward its closure. In this review of biodiversity finance, we first provide a brief historical overview of the biodiversity finance gap, next describe current methodologies designed to identify, quantify, and bridge the gap in the public and private sectors, two sections reviewing current public and private sector efforts to close the gap follow, and a discussion of future directions and trends concludes. From asset management to biodiversity credits to crowdfunding, and from debt for nature swaps to environmental fiscal transfer and green bonds, we highlight efforts in the global south to address their biodiversity finance needs and meet their commitments to the Convention on Biological Diversity. Research on subsidies harmful to nature, more effectively connecting biodiversity outcomes to financial investments, identifying finance mechanisms that generate climate and biodiversity co-benefits, and further innovation in private sector solutions like biodiversity credits and offsets are future priorities and perhaps a research agenda in this sphere.

We use Oslo municipality in Norway as a case study to illustrate best practices in quantifying unbiased area estimates using design-based statistical methods. As input for ecosystem extent accounts, we compared a custom Sentinel-2 land cover map with a globally available one called Dynamic World for 2015, 2018 and 2021. The design-based area estimation involved (i) generating a stratified probability sample of locations using the satellite-based maps to define strata, (ii) assigning ecosystem type labels to the samples using photointerpretation according to a response design protocol, and (iii) applying a stratified area estimator to produce 95% confidence intervals around opening, closing and change stocks in the extent accounting table. We found that pixel counting practices, currently adopted by the SEEA EA community, led to biased extent accounts, particularly for ecosystem conversions, with biases averaging 195% of the true change value derived from design-based methods. We found that the uncertainty inherent in state-of-the-art satellite-based maps exceeded the ability to detect real change in extent for some ecosystem types including water and bare/artificial surfaces. In general, uncertainty in extent accounts is higher for ecosystem type conversion classes compared to stable classes, and higher for 3-yr compared to 6-yr accounting periods. Custom, locally calibrated satellite-based maps of ecosystem extent changes were more accurate (81% overall accuracy) than globally available Dynamic World maps (75%).
