TLDR
In this paper, the authors use two datasets to characterize impacts on ecosystem services: the first is a spatially explicit measure of the impact of human consumption or demand on ecosystem service as measured by the human appropriation of net primary productivity (HANPP) derived from population distributions and aggregate national statistics; the second is an actual measure of loss of productivity or a proxy measure of "supply" of ecosystem services derived from biophysical models, agricultural census data, and other empirical measures.About:

Ecological grief as a mental health response to climate change-related loss
Ashlee Cunsolo,Neville Ellis +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that ecological grief is a natural and legitimate response to ecological loss, and one that may become more common as climate impacts worsen, and offer future research directions for the study of ecological grief.

TL;DR: In this paper, the future value of ecosystem services in monetary units for 4 alternative global land use and management scenarios based on the GTI scenarios to the year 2050 were estimated for each scenario.

Estimating the impacts of land use/land cover changes on Ecosystem Service Values: The case of the Andassa watershed in the Upper Blue Nile basin of Ethiopia
Temesgen Gashaw,Temesgen Gashaw,Taffa Tulu,Mekuria Argaw,Abeyou W. Worqlul,Terefe Tolessa,Mengistie Kindu +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) changes in Ecosystem Service Values (ESV) are estimated in the Andassa watershed of the Upper Blue Nile basin over the last three decades and to predict the ESV changes in 2045.

Land-use change impacts on ecosystem services value: Incorporating the scarcity effects of supply and demand dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new model for quantifying the effects of changes in supply and demand on the scarcity value of ecosystem services under land-use change, and demonstrate its application by assessing the impact of rapid urbanization in the Guangzhou-Foshan Metropolitan Area (GFMA) in southern China from 1990 to 2010.

Implications of land use/land cover dynamics and Prosopis invasion on ecosystem service values in Afar Region, Ethiopia.
Hailu Shiferaw,Woldeamlak Bewket,Tena Alamirew,Gete Zeleke,Demel Teketay,Ketema Bekele,Urs Schaffner,Sandra Eckert +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides evidence that LULC changes in the Afar Region have led to a significant loss in ESVs, with serious consequences for the livelihoods of the rural people.

The value of the world's ecosystem services and natural capital
Robert Costanza,Rudolf de Groot,Stephen Farberk,Monica Grasso,Bruce Hannon,Karin E. Limburg,Shahid Naeem,José M. Paruelo,Robert Raskin,Paul Suttonkk,Marjan van den Belt +10 more
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: Identifying and quantifying planetary boundaries that must not be transgressed could help prevent human activities from causing unacceptable environmental change, argue Johan Rockstrom and colleagues.

TL;DR: It is shown that tremendous progress could be made by halting agricultural expansion, closing ‘yield gaps’ on underperforming lands, increasing cropping efficiency, shifting diets and reducing waste, which could double food production while greatly reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture.

Changes in the global value of ecosystem services
Robert Costanza,Rudolph de Groot,Paul C. Sutton,Paul C. Sutton,Sander van der Ploeg,Sharolyn Anderson,Ida Kubiszewski,Stephen Farber,R. Kerry Turner +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an updated estimate based on updated unit ecosystem service values and land use change estimates between 1997 and 2011, using the same methods as in the 1997 paper but with updated data, the estimate for the total global ecosystem services in 2011 is $125 trillion/yr (assuming updated unit values and changes to biome areas).
