TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes, based on published studies and a few original calculations, for the entire biosphere, the value (most of which is outside the market) is estimated to be in the range of US$16-54 trillion (10^(12)) per year, with an average of US $33 trillion per year.

TL;DR: This paper provided a crude initial estimate of the value of ecosystem services to the economy using data from previous published studies and a few original calculations, and estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes.

TL;DR: This presentation uses OWL to represent the mutual relationships of scientific concepts and their ancillary space, time, and environmental descriptors, with application to locating NASA Earth science data.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the research, development, education, and other efforts that have contributed to building GCI in terms of its history, objectives, architecture, supporting technologies, functions, application communities, and future research directions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a cloud-based infrastructure for the geospatial sciences that can support discovery, access and utilization of data and data processing so as to relieve scientists and engineers of IT tasks and focus on scientific discoveries.
