The sensitivity of ecosystem service models to choices of input data and spatial resolution The sensitivity of ecosystem service models to choices of input data and spatial resolution
Although ecosystem service (ES) modeling has progressed rapidly in the last 10–15 years, comparative studies on data and model selection effects have become more common only recently. Such studies have drawn mixed conclusions about whether different data and model choices yield divergent results. In this study, we compared the results of different models to address these questions at...

Interregional flows of ecosystem services: Concepts, typology and four cases Interregional flows of ecosystem services: Concepts, typology and four cases
Conserving and managing global natural capital requires an understanding of the complexity of flows of ecosystem services across geographic boundaries. Failing to understand and to incorporate these flows into national and international ecosystem assessments leads to incomplete and potentially skewed conclusions, impairing society’s ability to identify sustainable management and policy...

Remote sensing and modeling to fill the “gap” in missing natural capital Remote sensing and modeling to fill the “gap” in missing natural capital
This chapter reviews recent advances in remote sensing and environmental modeling that address the first step in ecosystem accounting: biophysical quantification of ecosystem services. The chapter focuses on those ecosystem services in which the most rapid advances are likely, including crop pollination, sediment regulation, carbon sequestration and storage, and coastal flood regulation...

Recreation economics to inform migratory species conservation: Case study of the northern pintail Recreation economics to inform migratory species conservation: Case study of the northern pintail
Quantification of the economic value provided by migratory species can aid in targeting management efforts and funding to locations yielding the greatest benefits to society and species conservation. Here we illustrate a key step in this process by estimating hunting and birding values of the northern pintail (Anas acuta) within primary breeding and wintering habitats used during the...

Oil and gas development influences big-game hunting in Wyoming Oil and gas development influences big-game hunting in Wyoming
Development from extracting oil and gas resources can have unintended effects on multiple ecosystem functions, with cascading effects on wildlife, ecosystem services, and local economies. Big-game hunting opportunities may be closely related to these effects, but empirical analyses of impacts of energy development on hunting are limited. We examined the influence of oil and gas...

Computer modelling for ecosystem service assessment Computer modelling for ecosystem service assessment
Computer models are simplified representations of the environment that allow biophysical, ecological, and/or socio-economic characteristics to be quantified and explored. Modelling approaches differ from mapping approaches (Chapter 5) as (i) they are not forcibly spatial (although many models do produce spatial outputs); (ii) they focus on understanding and quantifying the interactions...
