However, the economic value of the benefits that people derive from ecosystems, that is, ecosystem services, may not be fully recognised and hence ecosystem considerations may not be incorporated adequately into decision-making processes. This is particularly true for regulating services, the benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes, the valuation of which requires an interdisciplinary approach. In essence, valuation is a problem solving strategy and a problem is a problem, it does not respect the boundRoutledge explorations in environmental economics ;27.Ecosystem servicesEcologyEconomic aspectsValuationEnvironmental economicsElectronic books.Ecosystem services.EcologyEconomic aspects.Valuation.Environmental economics.333.95/16Kumar Pushpam901951Wood Michael D304338MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459499503321Valuation of regulating services of ecosystems2133843UNINA
