Assessing Land Use Change and Its Impact on Ecosystem Services in Northern Thailand (2016, methodology): “InVEST is a geospatial modelling framework tool widely used for assessing ecosystem services [22] to quantify and map a range of ecosystem services and evaluate the impact of land use change on ecosystem services [20,23].”
Bringing Ecosystem Services into the Real World: An Operational Framework for Assessing the Economic Consequences of Losing Wild Nature (2011, background): “Our understanding of this relationship is still incipient, but when available, this information should be incorporated in estimating changes in service production, flow, use and value, in a spatially explicit way (Bateman et al. 2010; Polasky et al. 2010).”
Ecosystem services (2011, neutral): “…have used GIS and participatory methods to construct a scenario study of the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania (see also Fisher et al., 2011), and Polasky et al. (2011) have made a similar kind of economic analysis of alternative scenario outcomes describing different land-use futures in…”
Creating win-wins from trade-offs? Ecosystem services for human well-being: A meta-analysis of ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies in the real world (2014, background): “The reason is that water is not simply used for drinking or irrigation, but has multiple uses such as for fisheries, plantations, soil quality and recreation, creating many opportunities for trade-offs to arise (Polasky et al., 2011; Sanon et al., 2012).”
Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, methodology): “An application of InVEST, for example, showed that Minnesota land devoted to agriculture yields higher financial returns to landowners but yields lower social returns because of reduced carbon sequestration, less wildlife habitat, and impaired water quality (179).”
Uncertainty in ecosystem services valuation and implications for assessing land use tradeoffs: An agricultural case study in the Minnesota River Basin (2012, background): “In related research, Polasky et al. (2011) analyzed provision of habitat to support biological diversity and timber production.”
