“…Disturbance affects the ecological resource and alters the ecosystem services identified as key ecological endpoints (for example, mule deer and aquatic species). Ecological endpoints are defined as biophysical measures that assert a change on an ecosystem and humanity (Boyd and Brookshire, 2011). Changes to the ecosystem service benefits are convolved with the economic benefits derived from energy production to estimate the NRV of development activities.…”

“…Some frameworks are more amenable than others to the measurement or quantification of ecosystem service values, which can facilitate decision making for ecosystem management. Here we describe a framework that facilitates valuation by framing ecosystem service production analogously to conventional economic production theory (Boyd and Krupnick, 2009;Boyd and Brookshire, 2011 An ecological production framework for ecosystem goods and services consists of four linked components (Boyd and Krupnick, 2009;Boyd and Brookshire, 2011) (fig. 2):…”

“…Ecosystem benefit indicators are "quantitative, countable features of the physical and social landscape that depict the ways in which ecological endpoint changes produce changes in human welfare" (Boyd and Brookshire, 2011). They help describe the biophysical and other inputs that affect the value of ecosystem services, including the scale of demand for a given biophysical endpoint and the distribution of those endpoints relative to populations that may value them.…”

“…Economic production functions are the processes or relationships that describe how inputs (for example, biophysical and other inputs) combine to produce human well-being. Figure 2 highlights how a policy change or management action can induce a change in human welfare based on changes in the underlying biophysical system (Boyd and Brookshire, 2011). A policy intervention that causes land cover change can lead to changes in two different ecological endpoints (that is, species abundance and surface-water flow): the land cover change affects surface-water flow and species habitat directly, and the habitat change affects species abundance.…”

Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Challenges and Opportunities Executive SummaryOverview Natural resource managers must make decisions that affect broad-scale ecosystem processes involving large spatial areas, complex biophysical interactions, numerous competing stakeholder interests, and highly uncertain outcomes. Natural and social science information and analyses are widely recognized as important for informing effective management. Chief among the systematic approaches for improving the integration of science into natural resource management are two emergent science concepts, adaptive management and ecosystem services. Adaptive management (also referred to as "adaptive decision making") is a deliberate process of learning by doing that focuses on reducing uncertainties about management outcomes and system responses to improve management over time. Ecosystem services is a conceptual framework that refers to the attributes and outputs of ecosystems (and their components and functions) that have value for humans. This report explores how ecosystem services can be moved from concept into practice through connection to a decision framework-adaptive management-that accounts for inherent uncertainties. Simultaneously, the report examines the value of incorporating ecosystem services framing and concepts into adaptive management efforts.Adaptive management and ecosystem services analyses have not typically been used jointly in decision making. However, as frameworks, they have a natural-but to date underexplored-affinity. Both are policy and decision oriented in that they attempt to represent the consequences of resource management choices on outcomes of interest to stakeholders. Both adaptive management and ecosystem services analysis take an empirical approach to the analysis of ecological systems. This systems orientation is a byproduct of the fact that natural resource actions affect ecosystems-and corresponding societal outcomesoften across large geographic scales. Moreover, because...
