State of the Art
Today’s state of practice:Calculating “ES Provision” values
– often from land-use/land-cover (LULC).

Benefits and Drawbacks of this Approach
Pros Cons
Easy to implement
Easy to understand
Simple scenario andtradeoff analysis
Compatible withsecondary valuationtechniques (e.g.benefit transfer)
Overlooks the spatialdynamics of ES
Makes no distinctionbetween “Potential”and “Realized”services
Does not capture thebeneficiaries of theseservices
Assumes that allforests are the same

Land Use is a Bad Proxy
Because an LULC class is NOT the whole picture.
