“…This is relevant because scientific literature highlights evidence on the bias in the social perception of ecosystems, which produces ecosystem service bundles and trade-offs [79]. Then, these perceptions finally could jeopardize ideas for conservation [80]. In this line, positive social perception regarding ecosystem services could be an explicit key element of ecosystem management [81].…”

Large Woody Debris (LWD) accumulation serves essential ecological functions and benefits society’s coastal ecosystems (e.g., beaches). Thus far, the ecosystem services perspective has paid little attention to LWD. Therefore, we aim to contrast social perceptions on LWD and its ecological significance in Puerto Velero beach, Caribbean, Colombia. In consequence, the contribution of LWD to the conformation and creation of Puerto Velero beach was analyzed, as well as how beachgoers perceive the importance of LWD and if they were willing to pay to remove LWD in this beach. To achieve this, a quantitative convergent approach was then proposed using GIS analysis and remote sensing to understand the contributions of LWD to the Puerto Velero beach ecosystem; and in addition, a survey was performed to determine how beachgoers perceived LWD and how they valued the phenomenon. Results indicate that LWD contributed to beach maintenance; nevertheless, most people neglected LWD values because of its lack of visual attractiveness. As such, ecosystem services targets become conflicted because people positively perceived ecosystem services provided by beaches, but they did not assign importance to the beach dynamics they deemed unattractive, regardless of their vast importance.

“…The burgeoning political engagement reflects rapidly growing economic and societal concerns upon the impacts of recent climate change on extant forests (Hanewinkel et al., 2013; Seidl et al., 2014). Forests are increasingly valued as much for their diverse ecological services provided to local communities (Martín‐Forés et al, 2020) and their role in mitigating climate change as for the profitable industry generated by wood production (Bastin et al., 2019; Gamfeldt et al., 2013). Strategies to attain healthy, diverse and multifunctional second‐growth forests include a diverse array of actions that vary from passive restoration approaches that implement cost‐effective interventions to spur autonomous tree regeneration (e.g.…”

“…The forests house 80% of the biodiversity of the earth's land surface area, with more than 60,000 species of trees alone [2,17]. All of this can generate a wide range of impacts on a large scale for the ecosystems and their biodiversity, which can be difficult and costly to repair [18,19]. This deterioration of the biodiversity of the ecosystems also has a strong impact on their resilience or buffering capacity with respect to adverse phenomena [20].…”

An Analysis of the Worldwide Research on the Socio-Cultural Valuation of Forest Ecosystem Services

et al. 2022

The socio-cultural valuation of forest ecosystem services is a useful tool to generate knowledge and help balance the different interests of stakeholders with respect to the management of these services. The aim of this study is to analyse the evolution of global research on the economic valuation of forest ecosystem services through a review of the existing literature on this topic. The results show that socio-cultural valuation has gained importance in recent years. There is a wide disparity between the countries conducting the research and those being studied. Inconsistency has been observed in the definition and classification of services provided by forests, as well as a lack of unanimity on the reference framework to be applied. The main methodological approaches in the socio-cultural valuation of forest services are participatory mapping, social media analysis, the Q method and free listing. For the collection of primary information, the dominant methodologies are focus groups, semi-structured interviews and online surveys. Finally, this study demonstrates that socio-cultural valuation has great potential to improve the legitimacy of forest ecosystem management decisions and to promote consensus building.
