“…It means that the econovic valuation of water services is a kind of tricky bussiness. It might mislead the result because there are overlapping and ambiguity in the service itself (Ojea et al, 2012). In addition, Ojea et al (2012) explained that overlapping service and ambiguity service causes double counting in economic valuation can be a problem to sort it out in economic valuation.…”

“…This might give the impression that there is a good understanding of the welfare benefits that forest conservation provides in relation to the water services and, as a corollary, the welfare loss associated with ecosystem status decline. However, this literature is very heterogeneous in purpose and approaches and has not been carefully compared, providing a very fragmented view of the value of forest water services (Lele, 2009;Ojea et al, 2012).…”

“…In this paper we explore whether it is possible to identify key determinants that, according to existing evidence, systematically influence the monetary value of tropical forests' water services at regional level. We focus in Central-South America which, together with South-East Asia, is where the majority of water valuation studies and PES schemes of tropical forests are concentrated (Lele, 2009;Ojea et al, 2012;Brouwer et al, 2011).…”

Abstract:There is a well-established body of literature on monetary valuation of water ecosystem services to support the case for sustaining tropical forests. However, this literature is heterogeneous in its purposes and approaches and has not been carefully compared, providing a fragmented view of the values of forest water services. This paper addresses this knowledge gap through an orderly review and a regression meta-analysis of existing valuation studies at the regional level in South and Central America. This analysis allows identifying some factors that systematically influence forest values. However, it also reveals a lack of a systematized approach to valuation and a lack of sufficiently coherent evidence. This represents a barrier for the incorporation of the values of water ecosystem services into decision-making.

Can Carbon in Bioenergy Crops Mitigate Global Climate Change?

Climate Change and Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance

Different forms of carbon (C) cycle continuously through several pools in natural and managed ecosystems and spheres. Carbon's recent "commodification," as a negative environmental externality, has rendered it a "scarce" and "tradable" element. Although C supply in nature is not limited, energy is required to make it available as a plant nutrient, assimilate it in plant tissues, and sequester it as temporary or recalcitrant C in soils. Human demand for C-based energy and plantfixed C has accelerated, and altered its global cycle, raised its atmospheric content, contributed to climate change through global warming, and impacted several provisioning, regulating, and supporting ecosystem services. Agroecosystems are both sources and sinks of C. In a carbon dioxide-constrained world, plant-fixed and sequestered C in natural and managed ecosystems has a potential role in mitigating climate change, providing C-neutral and renewable bioenergy, and positively affecting ecosystem services. Due to the intricacies of the complex, interconnected biogeochemical cycles involving C, nitrogen, and water in which soils play an important role, bioenergy crops do not provide an easy solution to climate change mitigation, they may contribute to it. This chapter presents a critical review assessing the state of knowledge, and exploring opportunities and challenges of the role of C in bioenergy crops in mitigating global climate change, while sustainably providing other ecosystem services.
