Mapping of Forest Biodiversity Values: A Plural Perspective

Paulo Nunes (), Elena Ojea and Maria Loureiro

No 2009.4, Working Papers from Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei

Abstract: 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 exercise by conducting a world wide meta-analysis. This exercise aims to highlight the mapping of biodiversity indicators and assesses their respective role on the valuation exercise. Our results show that biodiversity loss is having an effect on forest ecosystem values. In addition, these effects reveal to be dependent on the type of services and global geo-climatic regions.
