In this study we estimate the passive use value of forest in different ecological zones in the Mediterranean region. We … estimate these values for forests using meta-analysis. These estimates are used to reveal the annual monetary values per … hectare for each country. The total annual amount of passive use value of the Mediterranean forest is about one billion …
