Mapping ecosystem service supply, demand and budgets (2012, background): “All of them are related more to the observer than to ecosystem conditions (Kumar and Kumar, 2008; Hansen-Möller, 2009).”
On the relation between ecosystem services, intrinsic value, existence value and economic valuation (2013, background): “More generally, we may attach existence value to ‘external’ objects and causes because they are part of theworld that shapes our identity and give meaning in life (see also Kumar and Kumar, 2008).”

Cost-benefit analysis in the context of ecosystem services for human well-being: A multidisciplinary critique (2011, background): “…The obstacle for cost-benefit analysis is that these intangible values of nature belong to the cognitive and emotional realm of human beings and as such they are hardly quantifiable in terms of preference satisfaction and willingness to pay (Chiesura and De Groot, 2003; Kumar and Kumar, 2008).”
Ecosystem services assessment: A review under an ecological-economic and systems perspective (2014, background): “Lamarque et al. (2011) and Crossman et al.”
