Metódy monetárneho a nemonetárneho oceňovania ekosystémových služieb - rešerš

Abstract

Understanding the interactions between the characteristics and processes of ecosystems is essential for the assessment of ecosystem services (ES) and the functioning of the sustainable development of different sized regions. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of current research directions in the field of ES valuation, focusing on monetary and non-monetary methods. The analysis of the scientific literature provides an overview of the most frequently used methods focused on monetary and non-monetary valuation of the ES. As ecosystems are lost and permanently degraded, economic assessments and valuations of ecosystems and biodiversity are considered insufficient. In order to support positive changes in socio-ecological systems, it will be necessary to extend and adapt into ES valuation methods transdisciplinary aspects.
