As a response, ecosystem service bundles, i.e. co-occurring sets of ecosystem services, can be used to simplify complex relationships between nature and society, and in turn aid understanding. Typically bundles are studied on the local to regional scale, given the importance of local context to bundling, but wider scale analysis may help highlight broader ecosystem service balances for sustainable management. However, it remains uncertain if the relationships between ecosystem services are strong enough to describe coherent bundles at the global scale, and the extent to which these bundles are robust across different social-ecological systems and within different biogeographical realms.</p><p>Here, we examine whether coherent bundles emerge from a set of 25 ecosystem property and service indicators across regional mountain, island and delta systems around the world. We analyse differences between bundle composition and correlation structure based on system, latitude and biome. We find consistent bundles broadly representing ‘food’, ‘productivity’ and biodiversity ‘intactness/soil’ ecosystem properties and services emerge across mountains, islands and deltas globally. These bundles show strong positive correlations internally, and consistent negative correlations between ‘food’ services and ‘intactness/soil’ ecosystem properties across bundles. The bundles weakened at higher latitudes and individual biomes where the division between ecosystem properties and services broke down. In sum, while islands, mountains and deltas are distinct social-ecological systems, we found ecosystem bundles robustly described synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services across these systems. This suggests that bundling has a role in simplifying wider scale interactions between humans and ecosystem services.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101593"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041623000864/pdfft?md5=4e86e293da71fe4e4a02c46a0838d4f5&pid=1-s2.0-S2212041623000864-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139503760","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, the implementation of financial incentives may have unintended consequences on intrinsic motivations, such as attitudes and environmental values, resulting in reduced levels of pro-environmental behaviors after PES compared to those observed before PES. The effect of PES schemes on participants’ motivations is not well understood. To address this gap, we conducted a quantitative analysis of motivation effects in PES schemes using 155 data points from 126 primary studies. Our study found that: 1) 54% of PES projects had a crowding-in effect, reinforcing intrinsic motivations, while 42% had a crowding-out effect, weakening intrinsic motivations; 2) PES projects with community payments were more likely to induce crowding-out due to free-riding and reduced trust; 3) compliance monitoring was a weak predictor of crowding-in, possibly due to increased satisfaction; and 4) monetary payment, when compared to in-kind payment, was more likely to lead to crowding-out due to reduced autonomy. Our findings also suggest that crowding-in is associated with successful environmental outcomes, while crowding-out is associated with environmental failure. To enhance the effectiveness of PES programs, policymakers should promote motivation crowding-in and prevent crowding-out by using in-kind payments, addressing free-riding, and enhancing fairness and transparency through monitoring, where feasible.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101595"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000019/pdfft?md5=07904c2b8576f34bbfd0e402ea1559ac&pid=1-s2.0-S2212041624000019-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139436349","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}

Scholars and practitioners often respond to this gap by seeking to develop new scientific methods to capture and integrate the plural values associated with diverse cultural benefits categories. This increasing emphasis on <em>value pluralism</em> represents an essential step toward recognitional justice within ES theory and practice. However, current approaches continue to rest on the assumption that ES-knowledge is only made available to decision-makers through scientific documentation. As a result, scholars and decision-makers fail to account for the role of <em>knowledge pluralism</em> as a core element of recognitional justice, and a key enabling factor for meaningful consideration of the plural values linked to cultural benefits of ES. In this paper, we contribute to a pluralist theory of cultural-benefits-knowledge, and ES-knowledge more broadly. Using a critical interpretive synthesis of environmental management literature, we conceptualize a wider range of knowledge forms that convey cultural benefits, based on the <em>knowledge-as-practice</em> concept in addition to the <em>knowledge-as-product</em> concept more familiar to Western actors. As part of the synthesis, we explore when and how diverse forms of cultural-benefits-knowledge intersect with decision-making processes, and the value aspects and categories of cultural benefits most frequently conveyed by each form of knowledge. Our synthesizing argument offers a critique of the concept of “ES-knowledge-use,” proposing a shift in focus toward “learning opportunities” that exist across phases of decision-making. We demonstrate that attention to a greater diversity of knowledge forms (knowledge pluralism), and a fuller spectrum of opportunities to integrate them (learning opportunities) can support more meaningful consideration of the plural values associated with cultural benefits of ES (value pluralism). In combination, attention to knowledge pluralism and value pluralism can help bring the ES approach into alignment with environmental justice through the recognition and legitimization of multiple identities, well-beings, and human-nature relationships, as reflected in meaningful consideration of the diverse cultural benefits of ES.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101587"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041623000803/pdfft?md5=e7c9bf31e122ef0e20e8deb7e9e38125&pid=1-s2.0-S2212041623000803-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139436433","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}

These services are among the most important ESs and represent the most intimate interactions between humans and nature. The ongoing Busan Eco Delta City development was selected as the study subject. Using the concept of compensating surplus as a theoretical framework, the benefit derived from CESs by local citizens was determined. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on the willingness to pay and its influence on CESs. Results from the 1,477 survey responses showed that the willingness to pay for CESs was affected by the offer amount, age, place of residence, willingness to visit, and environmental organization membership. The average value ascribed to CESs was KRW 9,044, based on a dichotomous-choice response logit model. Among the CESs, the existence CES had the strongest influence on willingness to pay, indicating that the natural resources of the urban ecosystem were of the highest value to the residents.

It provides a valuable decision-making tool for spatial planning and integrated development. SEEA implementation is a current key challenge for European Union (EU) Member States (MS), mainly due to high requirements on budget, technical capacity, and data, varying between countries. Within this frame, the objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the SEEA framework can be applied to analyse water ecosystems at river basin scale, building exclusively upon the officially registered, standardized national and EU datasets. We test how water resources can be accounted for using SEEA EA, with an additional component assessing water use based on SEEA Water. Within the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), two reporting cycles of river basin management plans have been completed for water ecosystems, providing spatial and temporal datasets. This material together with numerous data available at EU and national levels, water-relevant databases and repositories, resulting from MS reporting obligations, are tested and utilised for water accounting. The Alfeios river basin in Western Peloponnisos Greece serves as the case study area for compiling extent accounts, condition accounts, and supply and use accounts for provisioning water ecosystem services (drinking and irrigation water) for the periods 2009–2015 and 2015–2021 (the two WFD reporting cycles). It is demonstrated that readily available EU datasets can support the initial mapping and compiling of water ecosystem accounts at local scale, as applied in Greece, and therefore potentially also in other EU countries with fragmented data scattered in various administrative services and authorities with overlapping responsibilities on water resources. It is also concluded that future WFD reporting cycles and revisions of the river basin management plans could be better structured to enable a more direct connection of the collected data to ecosystem accounts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51312,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystem Services","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101586"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041623000797/pdfft?md5=7191180ef3549eb877b2b358a16b2872&pid=1-s2.0-S2212041623000797-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139050263","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}
