About this Research Topic
Ecosystem goods and services provide many beneficial values for human beings. The integrated valuation of ecosystem goods and services is the key to understanding nature’s contribution to human well-being. Currently, there are still many uncertainties and disadvantages regarding the assessment methods of ecosystem service values (ESVs), which entails further investigation and improvement. In addition, it is another essential proposition to transform ESVs into socioeconomic values to enhance human well-being.
This Research Topic aims to underscore key issues on the process mechanisms of ecosystem services (ESs), value accounting and transformation of ESs through remote sensing, as well as controlled experiments and socioeconomics of ESs. Particularly, it is of pivotality and necessity to manifest (1) the process mechanisms of structure-ecosystem services and function-ecosystem services; (2) the flow paths of ESs under the supply and demand relationship; (3) the transformation mechanisms and paths of ESVs from natural to socioeconomic system; and (4) the sustainable realization of ecosystem product values.
This Research Topic welcomes submissions of novel Original Theoretical and Experimental Research articles to address the following themes that include, but are not limited to:
• How to augment the valuation accuracy to avoid system errors when using default parameters
• How to form internal paths from ecosystem structure-process-function to ESs
• How to develop localized ES assessment and management systems suitable for various ecosystem types
