Assessing Ecosystem Services for Informing Decision Making on Sustainable Land Management Under Climate Change
註釋This dissertation identifies and addresses key research questions related to the assessment of ecosystem services for informing decision making on sustainable land management under climate change. Despite the increasing focus in science on assessing ecosystem services there is little evidence on how scientific information on ecosystem services actually informs decision making. This raises questions whether science on ecosystem services actually achieves the goal of informing decision making. This dissertation addresses this issue at national and international level and provides insights on: 1) Studies of monetary valuation of ecosystem service available for Germany and their relevance for informing decisions at national level on the potential costs of ecosystem service loss; 2) Conceptual considerations for designing problem-oriented ecosystem service assessments that can inform decision making on real-world problems; 3) Using a problem-oriented approach for assessing factors determining the carbon performance of projects reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+).
