Mapping and Valuing Ecosystem Services as an Approach for Conservation and Natural‐Resource Management

Tallis, Heather, Polasky, Stephen·2009·Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Current approaches to conservation and natural‐resource management often focus on single objectives, resulting in many unintended consequences. These outcomes often affect society through unaccounted‐for ecosystem services. A major challenge in moving to a more ecosystem‐based approach to management that would avoid such societal damages is the creation of practical tools that bring a scientifically sound, production function‐based approach to natural‐resource decision making. A new set of computer‐based models is presented, the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs tool (InVEST) that has been designed to inform such decisions. Several of the key features of these models are discussed, including the ability to visualize relationships among multiple ecosystem services and biodiversity, the ability to focus on ecosystem services rather than biophysical processes, the ability to project service levels and values in space, sensitivity to manager‐designed scenarios, and flexibility to deal with data and knowledge limitations. Sample outputs of InVEST are shown for two case applications; the Willamette Basin in Oregon and the Amazon Basin. Future challenges relating to the incorporation of social data, the projection of social distributional effects, and the design of effective policy mechanisms are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
