“…We also found that three studies used economic and mapping methods. For instance, [54] combined economic valuation (market price and benefit transfer) and mapping assessment to provide the values of key northern Mozambique's marine ecosystem. Integration of economic and biophysical models needs also to be considered as in [55].…”

Ecosystems provide vital services that improve and support livelihoods and human well-being. Consequently, scientific research on ecosystem services (ES) has increased, over the past two decades globally, as well as in Africa. This study provides an overview of existing economic ES valuation methods in Africa using the Web of Science databases. The results highlighted that South Africa recorded the high number of ES valuation publications. The most evaluated ES category was provisioning then regulating services. In terms of economic valuation methods, the market price was the most popular, followed by the contingent valuation and the choice experiment methods. Recommendations are provided for future research in this filed.

“…Additionally, the services provided by mangrove forests of the East Africa coast have been extremely important in containing coastal erosion, reducing the intensity and frequency of extreme climatic winds caused by tropical cyclones along the Indian Ocean coast (Ghermandi et al, 2019).…”

“…The post-extreme event restoration of degraded areas in South Africa has carried out through ecosystem-based adaptation which revived coastal and marine plant species (Mugwedi et al, 2018). According to Ghermandi et al, (2019), coral reefs significantly prevented coastal erosion in Comoros, Madagascar, Mayotte, Mozambique, Seychelles, and Tanzania with 100%, 55%, 98%, 16 %, 98%, 63% respectively. Services provided by seagrass were responsible for 99% of the carbon sequestration in Comoros and Mayotte.…”

“…Ecosystem services associated with aquatic environments constitute, in several locations, important sources of economic benefits, which may be related to tourism, fishing, and aquaculture activities, providing sources of employment and well-being to different territories. The consideration of the costs associated with environmental degradation is of vital importance for the orientation of management policies (Chakraborty and Blasiak 2019;Ghermandi et al 2019).…”

Anthropogenic land use change (ALUC) satisfies human needs but also impacts aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems are intrinsically linked with terrestrial landscapes, an association that is already recognized as a key factor to address future research and effective governance. However, the complexity and range of the impact of ALUC in aquatic ecosystems have been fundamental challenges and have implicitly routed the analysis to particular segments, drivers, management, or effects of the theme. In this study, we present an attempt to frame the subject in a broader context through a topic-based bibliometric analysis. Our aim is to identify possible biases and gaps in the current scientific literature and detect the main topics that have characterized the theme. Our results show an unequal distribution of articles by country when we analyzed the authors' affiliation and also a slight increase in contributions from social and economic disciplines, although they are still underrepresented. Moreover, we distinguish topics whose prevalence seems to change, especially those topics where the use of scenario analysis and multistressors are considered. We discuss the main biases and gaps revealed by our results, concluding that future studies on the impact of ALUC on aquatic ecosystems should better integrate social and economic disciplines and expand geographic frontiers.
