Ecosystem service values and restoration in the urban Sanyang wetland of Wenzhou, China

Assessing the changes in land use and ecosystem services in Changzhou municipality, Peoples’ Republic of China, 1991–2006

“…In China, Xie et al (2001) modified Costanza's coefficients to account for unique characteristics of the Chinese socioeconomic and environmental ecosystem, and obtained an equivalence table for terrestrial ecosystems (Xie et al, 2001(Xie et al, , 2003. Since then, many scholars have assessed the value of different types of ecosystem services for environments such as cities, wetlands, and farmland using Costanza's or Xie's coefficients (Gee and Burkhard, 2010;Huang et al, 2010;Kreuter et al, 2001;Li and Ren, 2008;Tong et al, 2007;Van Eekeren et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010). Till now, some evaluation approaches and models, such as market valuation, hedonic property price, travel cost, contingent valuation, cost-based approaches, replacement costs, stated preference methods, alternative scenarios and integrated valuation of ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model, were developed and applied for ecosystem services (Nelson et al, 2009;Gómez-Baggethun et al, 2010;Li et al, 2011;Polasky et al, 2011;Calvet-Mir et al, 2012;Viglizzo et al, 2012;Gómez-Baggethun and Barton, 2013).…”

Application of BMP to urban runoff control using SUSTAIN model: Case study in an industrial area

“…Literature on the valuation of ecosystem services has increased considerably in recent years (Chen et al, 2009;Jenkins et al, 2010;Tallis and Polasky, 2009;Tong et al, 2007). However, little work has been done to quantify these services, which poses a major challenge to their research application to actual land management and economic and policy decisions.…”

Variations in ecosystem service values in response to changes in environmental flows: A case study of Baiyangdian Lake, China

“…I chose the ecosystem services and functions for the analysis of Baiyangdian Lake (Table 1) based on a review of the literature (Heuting 1980, Larson et al 1989, Costanza et al 1997, Woodward and Wui 2001. Some previously proposed value types, such as bequest value and existence value, are ambiguous or overlapping, and this can lead to double-counting (Tong et al 2007); in addition, they are difficult to use to support decisions in practice and are difficult for decision-makers to understand. I have therefore not considered these kinds of values.…”
