Question:
1. What kind of material / data sources for valuation and assessment of environmental
service outcomes among the population?
Answer :
Future research should test the appropriateness of using the same production function
estimated for the Blackwater and applying the data collected for the Humber to this production
function. It would also be valuable to estimate a newspecific production function for the Humber
using Humber data; and transfer the estimates of the Blackwater estuary to the Humber.
Therefore, we can conclude that, although subject to the well-known methodological limitations
affecting the benefit transfer technique, depending on the similarity between the biophysical
conditions of an ecosystem service in the case study and the policy site and the data availability
of that service, transferability of ecosystem benefits may be possible at the same country level.
However, careful examination of the similarities of biophysical conditions and socio-economic
characteristics between sites, as well as the technical transferability possibilities of production
and socioeconomic functions, are essential before undertaking any benefit transfer. Outside the
boundaries of the same country, biophysical conditions and socio-economic characteristics may
differ significantly from the case study site limiting the meaningful application of value transfer
in the policy site when ecosystem services, which are context dependent by definition, are
concerned. When in a given ecosystem, interdependent ecosystem services are potentially
available and are fundamentally interconnected, evaluation of ecosystem services becomes
complex. Our case studies focus on the ecosystem services that salt marshes can provide together
but can be economically assessed independently. By examining the carbon cycle, the biophysical
relationships between the configuration of ecosystem structures and the processes present at a
given time (populations) and the ecosystem services they provide over time (flows) are studied.
