TL;DR: The results indicate that most UES studies have been undertaken in Europe, North America, and China, at city scale, but few study findings have been implemented as land use policy.

Valuing nature: lessons learned and future research directions
TL;DR: A review of the literature on environmental valuation of ecosystem services across the range of global biomes can be found in this article, where the main objective is to assess the policy relevance of the information encompassed by the wide range of valuation studies that have been undertaken so far.

Landscapes' Capacities to Provide Ecosystem Services - a Concept for Land-Cover Based Assessments
TL;DR: The research concept and methodological framework presented here for discussion have initially been applied in different case studies and shall be developed further to provide a useful tool for the quantification and spatial modelling of multiple ecosystem services in different landscapes.

Mapping ecosystem services: Practical challenges and opportunities in linking GIS and value transfer
Austin Troy,Matthew A. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a decision framework designed for spatially explicit value transfer was used to estimate ecosystem service flow values and to map results for three case studies representing a diversity of spatial scales and locations: 1) Massachusetts, 2) Maury Island, Washington; and 3) three counties in California.

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: Studies of ecosystem processes on the Jornada Experimental Range in southern New Mexico suggest that longterm grazing of semiarid grasslands leads to an increase in the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of water, nitrogen, and other soil resources, which leads to the desertification of formerly productive land.

Condition and Management of Range Land Based on Quantitative Ecology.
TL;DR: In this article, a system for determining range condition which considers climate, soil, and vegetation both present and potential is described, and an actual example is used to demonstrate practical application of the system to range management.
