Terrestrial Carbon Sequestration in National Parks: Values for the Conterminous United States Terrestrial Carbon Sequestration in National Parks: Values for the Conterminous United States
Lands managed by the National Park Service (NPS) provide a wide range of beneficial services to the American public. This study quantifies the ecosystem service value of carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems within NPS units in the conterminous United States for which data were available. Combining annual net carbon balance data with spatially explicit NPS land unit boundaries...

Assessing the value of the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) in Everglades restoration: an ecosystem service approach Assessing the value of the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) in Everglades restoration: an ecosystem service approach
This study identifies a full range of ecosystem services that could be affected by a restoration project in the central Everglades and monetizes the economic value of a subset of these services using existing data. Findings suggest that the project will potentially increase many ecosystem services that have considerable economic value to society. The ecosystem services monetized within...

2013 National Park visitor spending effects: economic contributions to local communities, states, and the nation 2013 National Park visitor spending effects: economic contributions to local communities, states, and the nation
The National Park Service (NPS) manages the nation's most iconic destinations that attract millions of visitors form across the nation and around the world. Trip-related spending by NPS visitors generates and supports a considerable amount of economic activity within park gateway communities. This economic effects analysis measures how NPS visitor spending cycles through local economies
