Evaluating nature's services on Canterbury arable farmland: a summary of results for farmers participating in this research project
(Lincoln University. Bio-Protection Research Centre, 2005-10)
The importance of ES or nature’s services is now very well established and ES have been demonstrated to be of very high economic value. However, intensification of agriculture in the last century has resulted in the ...
Using choice modeling to value ecosystem services on arable land
(Lincoln University., 2005-02)
The objectives are to more accurately measure values of non-market ecosystem services (ES) on New Zealand
arable land by estimating values of: gas regulation (greenhouse gas emissions);
waste treatment (nitrogen leaching); ...
Testing for benefit transfer in valuation of ecosystem services in New Zealand winegrowing regions
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Commerce. Department of Accounting, Economics and Finance., 2008)
Benefit transfer (BT) is a pragmatic way of estimating values by transferring values from
existing valuation studies to a target area of interest if there are limited resources or funding
available to carry out an original ...
Values of ecosystem services associated with intense dairy farming in New Zealand
(Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society, 2007-02)
The increase in greenhouse gas emissions and degradation of water quality and quantity in waterways due to dairy farming in New Zealand have become of growing concern. Compared to traditional sheep and beef cattle farming, ...
Evaluating ecosystem services on farmland: a novel, experimental, 'bottom up' approach
(International Federation of Organic Cultural Movements, 2005-09)
Human life is supported by natural ecosystems and species that constitute them through conditions and processes which are known as ecosystem services or nature’s services. To date, ES value has been assessed using a ...
Quantifying and enhancing ecosystem services on farmland
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Ecosystems have functions, and these
functions provide many services that are
valued by humans. This presentation is an overview of ecosystem services, and includes coverage of ecological functions and benefits, value to ...
Testing for benefit transfer in valuation of ecosystem services in New Zealand winegrowing regions
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Commerce. Department of Accounting, Economics and Finance, 2008)
Objectives of this study are to estimate average Willingness-to-Pay (WTP) of
Marlborough (MARL) and Hawke’s Bay (HB)
households for reductions in environmental
impacts caused by winegrowing practices.
Ecosystem services on New Zealand arable farms
(New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society, 2004-06)
Researchers have estimated the total economic value of global ecosystem goods and services showing that a significant portion of humanity's economic well being is unaccounted for in conventional GNP accounting (Constanza ...
Values of ecosystem services on arable land and the role of organic farming
(New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society, 2005-08)
Nationwide mail surveys implemented in November 2004 report New Zealand residents' willingness to pay for improvement in ecosystem services and support for organic farming on arable land. The surveys were split into two ...
The future of farming: the value of ecosystem services in conventional and organic arable land. An experimental approach.
(International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE), 2008)
In the current work, a novel, experimental ‘bottom-up’ approach is used to quantify the economic value of ecosystem services (ES) associated with highly modified arable landscapes in Canterbury, New Zealand. First, the ...
