“…Fundamentally, this form of economic valuation refers to a relative change in a stock. To given an example, WTP for biodiversity refers to the economic value of a change to biodiversity in monetary terms; it does not determine the true or intrinsic value of biodiversity or ecosystems but rather values relative changes and compares them with their alternatives (Raviv, et al, 2020). It is the WTP a price for using a resource that gives it an economic value.…”

“…Their role as a carbon sink is especially relevant at the continental scale since they account for 30% of the total forest cover in Europe (Ding et al, 2016). Other societal values of Mediterranean forests include their cultural, spiritual and religious importance (especially that of the few remaining ancient forests; Mansourian et al, 2013) and their attractiveness (aesthetics) for recreational activities and tourism (Bernetti et al, 2019; FAO & Plan Blue, 2018; Raviv et al, 2020).…”

Forests provide a wide range of provisioning, regulating and cultural services of great value to societies across the Mediterranean basin. In this study, we reviewed the scientific literature of the last 30 years to quantify the magnitude of projected changes in ecosystem services provision by Mediterranean forests under IPCC climate change scenarios. We classified the scenarios according to the temperature threshold of 2℃ set by the Paris Agreement (below or above). The review of 78 studies shows that climate change will lead to a general reduction in the provision of regulating services (e.g. carbon storage, regulation of freshwater quantity and quality) and a general increase in the number of fires, burnt areas and generally, an increase in climate‐related forest hazards (median + 62% by 2100). Studies using scenarios above the 2℃ threshold projected significantly more negative changes in regulating services than studies using scenarios below this threshold. Main projected trend changes on material services (e.g. wood products), were less clear and depended on (i) whether or not the studies considered the interaction between the rise in temperatures and other drivers (e.g. forest management, CO2 fertilization) and (ii) differences in productivity responses across the tree species evaluated. Overall, the reviewed studies projected significant reductions in range extent and habitat suitability for the most drought‐sensitive forest species (e.g. −88% Fagus sylvatica), while the amount of habitat available for more drought‐tolerant species will remain stable or increase; however, the magnitude of projected change for these more xeric species was limited when high‐end extreme climatic scenarios were considered (above Paris Agreement). Our review highlights the benefits that climate change mitigation (to keep global mean temperature increase <2℃) can bring in terms of service provision and conservation of Mediterranean forests.
