“…With the exception of recreational and aesthetic values (Chan and Ruckelshaus 2010) and cultural heritage and educational values (Kumar 2010), cultural ecosystem services are seldom reflected by economic indicators (e.g., real estate prices) and are rarely marketable (e.g., Carpenter et al 2009, Martín-López et al 2009. http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol18/iss3/art44/ Cultural ecosystem services are important in a wide range of settings.…”

ABSTRACT. Cultural ecosystem services constitute a growing field of research that is characterized by an increasing number of publications from various academic disciplines. We conducted a semiquantitative review of publications explicitly dealing with cultural ecosystem services. Our aims were: (1) to provide an overview of the current state of research, (2) to classify the diversity of research approaches by identifying clusters of publications that address cultural ecosystem services in similar ways, and (3) to highlight some important challenges for the future of cultural ecosystem services research. We reviewed 107 publications and extracted 20 attributes describing their type and content, including methods, scales, drivers of change, and trade-offs between services. Using a cluster analysis on a subset of attributes we identified five groups of publications: Group 1, conceptual focus, deals with theoretical issues; Group 2, descriptive reviews, consists mostly of desktop studies; Group 3, localized outcomes, deals with case studies coming from different disciplines; Group 4, social and participatory, deals mainly with assessing preferences and perceptions; and Group 5, economic assessments, provides economic valuations. Emerging themes in cultural ecosystem services research relate to improving methods for cultural ecosystem services valuation, studying cultural ecosystem services in the context of ecosystem service bundles, and more clearly articulating policy implications. Based on our findings, we conclude that: (1) cultural ecosystem services are well placed as a tool to bridge gaps between different academic disciplines and research communities, (2) capitalizing on the societal relevance of cultural ecosystem services could help address real-world problems, and (3) cultural ecosystem services have the potential to foster new conceptual links between alternative logics relating to a variety of social and ecological issues.

“…This may, in part, be due to the fact that these services require very different measures to those generally used by biophysical scientists ). More often than not the approaches used by quantitative scientists to measure/value cultural services have included economic methods (Angulo-Valdes and Hatcher 2009;Zhang et al 2010;Martin-Lopez et al 2009;Costanza et al 1997) or methods using habitat extent or use (Raudsepp-Hearne et al 2010). In other cases no measures are attempted as a result of cultural services falling outside of the sphere of markets and therefore becoming invisible in traditional economic analyses (e.g.…”

Trialling a method to quantify the ‘cultural services’ of the English landscape using Countryside Survey data

Increasing pressure on natural resources driven by population growth and higher levels of individual resource consumption have led to the need to measure and ultimately place values on the diversity of ecosystem services supported by land in order to manage it appropriately. The complexity underlying the provision of many seemingly simple ecosystem services, e.g. drinking water, make the process of identifying and making appropriate measures far from simple. Cultural services, defined as the nonmaterial benefits that people obtain from ecosystems, comprise a range of experiences of nature which enhance human well-being in a variety of ways. Measurement of the experiential benefits of ecosystems has proved difficult, despite their acknowledged importance. This paper describes a novel approach for providing measures of cultural services at national scale (England). The interdisciplinary approach described combines data from a national survey of the biophysical components of the UK countryside with data collected from regional assessments of experiential qualities of landscape in England. The paper discusses the results, merits and limitations of the datasets and approaches used.

“…Para Bangash et al (2013), el uso de INVEST permite modelar y mapear un conjunto de ecoservicios que se ven alterados por los cambios en la cobertura del suelo y los impactos del cambio climático, pudiendo obtener datos de salida tanto en unidades biofísicas como monetarias, en función de las necesidades y la disponibilidad de información. Algunos de los trabajos que han utilizado esta metodología para la valoración de ecoservicios son los de Martín-López et al (2009, 2011, Bujosa y Riera (2009), Ojea et al (2012), Ruiz-Benito et al (2012), Sánchez-Canales et al (2012, Morán-Ordoñez et al (2013), Trabucchi et al (2013, Palacios-Agundez et al (2014) y Palomo et al (2014.…”

El carácter multidimensional de estos servicios, la diversidad de beneficiarios y partes interesadas, y los diferentes enfoques valorativos existentes hacen que su valoración resulte compleja. En este trabajo se presenta el marco conceptual para la valoración de los servicios provistos por los ecosistemas y una descripción de las metodologías más utilizadas, aplicado a los agroecosistemas españoles. Para ello se ha realizado una búsqueda en la base de datos del Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), dando como resultado una muestra de 101 trabajos. La metodología utilizada para su análisis ha sido de tipo cualitativo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran como el grueso de los trabajos de valoración de ecoservicios provistos por agroecosistemas en España se ha publicado durante los últimos cinco años y que entre las metodologías económicas más utilizadas destacan el análisis coste-beneficio, la valoración contingente y los experimentos de elección.Palabras clave: Marco conceptual; Servicios de los ecosistemas; Agroecosistemas; Valoración económica; España.
