TLDR
In this paper, the authors review the studies that have tried to estimate the value of forest ecosystem services and discuss the shortcomings of existing studies, and suggest that future research should focus on the neglected ecosystem services, "disservices", assessing the role of dynamic factors and environmental catastrophes on the provision of ecosystem services.About:

Petra Hlaváčková,David Březina +1 more
Abstract: Forest enterprises are a specific component of the state economy as their economic activity is bound to rural regions. Benefits of forest enterprises for a local economy are combination of social and economic benefits. The article presents the alternative approach to the quantification of the importance of forest enterprises for the regional development. The approach is based on identifying cash flows in the area of interest and benefits of forest enterprises and forestry for the local economy development in the Czech Republic.

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: The results demonstrate that old-growth forests can continue to accumulate carbon, contrary to the long-standing view that they are carbon neutral, and suggest that 15 per cent of the global forest area, which is currently not considered when offsetting increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, provides at least 10 per cent the global net ecosystem productivity.

Soil Erosion: A Food and Environmental Threat
TL;DR: Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental and public health problems facing human society as mentioned in this paper, and each year about 10 million-ha of cropland is lost due to soil erosion, thus reducing the croplands available for food production.
