Urban Watershed Services For Improved Ecosystem Management and Risk Reduction, Assessment Methods and Policy Instruments: State of the Art

Depietri, Yaella; Guadagno, Lorenzo; Breil, Margaretha - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

Under scenarios of increasing unplanned urban expansion, environmental degradation and hazard exposure, the vulnerability of urban populations, especially of their poorer segments, needs to be tackled through integrated economic, social and environmental solutions. Basing our analysis on the...

Scaling up Ecosystem Services Values: Methodology, Applicability and a Case Study

Brander, Luke; Ghermandi, Andrea; Kuik, Onno; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

The approach of using existing data on economic values of local ecosystem services for an assessment of these values at a larger geographical scale can be called “scaling up”. In a scaling-up exercise, economic values from a particular study site are transferred to another geographical...

Identifying the Link Between Coastal Tourism and Marine Ecosystems in the Baltic, North Sea, and Mediterranean Countries

Otrachshenko, Vladimir; Bosello, Francesco - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015

This paper examines the impact of marine ecosystem quality on inbound coastal tourism in the Baltic, North Sea, and Mediterranean countries. Given extensive empirical findings in ecological science, we use marine protected areas (MPAs) and the fraction of species that are shed in each...

Predicting the Deforestation–Trend Under Different Carbon–Prices

Kindermann, Georg E.; Obersteiner, Michael; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

Background: Global carbon stocks in forest biomass are decreasing by 1.1 Gt of carbon annually, owing to continued deforestation and forest degradation. Deforestation emissions are partly offset by forest expansion and increases in growing stock primarily in the extra-tropical north. Innovative...

Controlling for Biases in Primary Valuation Studies: A Meta-analysis of International Coral Reef Values

Abdullah, Sabah; Rosenberger, Randall S. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

This paper updates the existing meta-analysis in coral reef recreation taking into account the previous work of Brander et al. (2007) but considering some stated preference biases and/or effects. The present meta-analysis uses twice the number of observations as the previous one and sheds more...

A Bug’s Life: Competition Among Species Towards the Environment

Bella, Giovanni - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

A model of different species competing for the same environment is presented, and possible explanations of peaceful coexistence or rather internecine conflicts are consequently derived. By means of a Lotka-Volterra dynamic system we describe the evolution of two populations (bees and locusts)...
