Confronting unfamiliarity with ecosystem functions: The case for an ecosystem service approach to environmental valuation with stated preference methods (2008, methodology): “For example, “functional diversity” (Nunes and Bergh, 2001, p. 204) encompasses “primary ecosystem processes” (photosynthesis and biogeochemical cycling) – ecosystem functions in a descriptive sense.”
Valuing ecosystem goods and services: a new approach using a surrogate market and the combination of a multiple criteria analysis and a Delphi panel to assign weights to the attributes (2004, background): “…of populations and species of organisms have a critical and fundamental impact on the provision of ecosystem goods and services that are essential as planetary life support I.A. Curtis / Ecological Economics 50 (2004) 163–194164 systems, and not only for humans (Nunes and van den Bergh, 2001).”
Integrating ecological, economic and social aspects to generate useful management information under the EU Directives' ‘ecosystem approach’ (2012, background): “…the integration of the ecosystem’s inherent processes, the associated biodiversity and its sustainable use, the ecosystem approach focuses on conserving natural systems for their inherent value and for human wellbeing (de Groot et al., 2010; Nunes and van den Bergh, 2001; Vitousek et al., 1997).”
Economic evaluation of biological invasions—a survey (2005, background): “Since we place the emphasis on monetary analyses which consider costs and benefits closely together, our analysis can be attributed to the neo-classical branch of economic evaluation (Nunes and van den Bergh, 2001).”
Win-win REDD+ approaches belie carbon-biodiversity trade-offs (2012, background): “In contrast, biodiversity is not widely commoditized, with a clear and agreed monetary value (Nunes and van den Bergh, 2001).”
