Abstract:
... This article traces the early conceptualization, though not the term itself, of natural capital in the thought of Adam Smith. Natural capital is defined as the idea of natural resource production independent of human intervention. The main modern scholarship regarding the history of the term “natural capital” in economic thought is overviewed. Adam Smith’s early recognition of the concept of natur ...

Abstract:
... Discrepancies between desired ecosystem services (the types, amounts and qualities of services a person would ideally like to benefit from) and the actual provision of ecosystem services (services actually obtained) reflect people’s inability to receive the benefits they would like from nature, and can lead to conflict. We developed a novel process that combined stakeholder analysis, a survey, and ...

Abstract:
... The literature on payments for ecosystem services (PES) applied in regions where indigenous peoples are key social actors has not cast much light on their preferences regarding the framing and design features that such economic incentives should have to ensure their effectiveness. Thus, it is key to find appropriate approaches that can be used to elicit the preferences of indigenous peoples regard ...

Abstract:
... Compared to non-spatial calculation of service values which is not intuitive, ecosystem services (ESs) mapping are more appealing to practitioners. However, applying these representations into ecological practice is still a challenge. Such research essentially embraces fundamental and applied characteristics, which have been exemplified by “Pasteur’s Quadrant” of use-inspired basic research. Based ...

Abstract:
... Ecosystem services (ES) are the ecological characteristics, functions, or processes that directly or indirectly contribute to sustainable human wellbeing. The ecosystems that provide the services are ‘natural capital’ (NC) using the general definition of capital as a stock that yields a flow of services over time. But these concepts must be embedded in a whole systems view of the interdependencies ...
