Mapping of Forest Biodiversity Values: A Plural Perspective
Nunes, Paulo A.L.D.; Ojea, Elena; Loureiro, Maria - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is built on a conceptual framework that links biodiversity to the services ecosystems provide to society. Based on this framework, we first compile market and non-market forest valuation studies and, secondly, explore the potential of an econometric modeling...

Socioeconomic causes of loss of animal genetic diversity: Analysis and assessment
Tisdell, Clem - 2001
The number of breeds of domesticated animals, especially livestock, have declined rapidly. The proximate causes and processes involved in loss of breeds are outlined. The path-dependent effect and Swanson's dominance-effect are discussed in relation to breed selection. While these help to...

Communications on climate change and biodiversity loss with local populations: Exploring best-practices and postcolonial moments in eight case studies from across the globe
Ansari, Dawud; Schönenberg, Regine; Abud, Melissa; … - 2021
Climate change and biodiversity loss trigger policies worldwide, many of which target or impact local communities. Although research, international development, and policy implementation (and, thus, success in fighting both threats) require thoughtful consideration and communication of the...

The greener, the happier? The effects of urban green and abandoned areas on residential well-being
Krekel, Christian; Kolbe, Jens; Wüstemann, Henry - 2015
This paper investigates the effects of urban green and abandoned areas on residential well-being in major German cities, using panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for the time period between 2000 and 2012 and cross-section data from the European Urban Atlas (EUA) for the year...

Carbon Sequestration with Reforestations and Biodiversity-Scenic Values
Caparrós, A.; Cerdá, E.; Ovando, P.; Campos, P. - 2007
This paper presents an optimal control model to analyze reforestations with two different species, including commercial values, carbon sequestration and biodiversity or scenic values. We solve the model qualitatively with general functions and discuss the implications of partial or total...

REDD in Design: Assessment of Planned First-Generation Activities in Indonesia
Myers Madeira, Erin - 2009
Much of the guidance about potential impacts of reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) speculates how efforts would be implemented and draws lessons from other mechanisms, such as payments for ecosystem services (PES). However, with few REDD activities underway, little...
