Plant functional traits shape multiple ecosystem services, their trade‐offs and synergies in grasslands (2020, background): “We further focus on vascular plants since they are the best studied taxon with respect to functional traits (de Bello et al., 2010; Díaz et al., 2016) and are key to some of the most intensively utilized ecosystem services such as primary production (Costanza et al., 2014).”
Sixteen years of change in the global terrestrial human footprint and implications for biodiversity conservation (2016, background): “We included data on the following: (1) extent of built environments; (2) crop land; (3) pasture land; (4) human population density; (5) night-time lights; (6) railways; (7) roads; and (8) navigable waterways.”
Achieving the national development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through investment in ecological infrastructure: A case study of South Africa (2017, background): “This results in the value of these services seldom being expressed in monetary terms or captured in market transactions (Costanza et al., 2014).”
Twenty years of ecosystem services: How far have we come and how far do we still need to go? (2017, methodology): “Individuals might, for example, place no value on an ecosystem service Table 5 Range of Uses for Ecosystem Service Valuation (Costanza et al., 2014b).”
Assessing water ecosystem services for water resource management (2016, background): “In the proposed approach, we think it is important to interpret the economic valuation in monetary terms sensu Costanza et al. (2014), i.e. for awareness raising about relative changes over a period in time.”
Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests (2016, background): “One prominent recent global valuation of ecosystem services (69) valued global forest production [in terms of ‘raw materials’ (including timber, fiber, biomass fuels, and fuelwood and charcoal] provided by forests (table S1) (69) in 2011 at US$ 649 billion (6.”
Sydney Harbour: a review of anthropogenic impacts on the biodiversity and ecosystem function of one of the world’s largest natural harbours (2015, background): “Coastal systems are among the most productive and valuable in the world, providing an array of essential goods and services to society, such as the provision of food, fuel, trade and recreational opportunities (Costanza et al. 1997, 2014).”
Effects of land use transitions due to rapid urbanization on ecosystem services: Implications for urban planning in the new developing area of China (2014, methodology): “…assess the changes of ESV by drawing a connection between the observed land use dynamics and the evaluation of ESV, based on the latest research of Costanza et al. (2014) and some revisions adapted to the situation of China; and (3) to discuss some of the major implications for the urban planning…”
Physiological responses of habitat‐forming seaweeds to increasing temperatures (2016, background): “In recognition of the risks of losing valuable ecosystem services to climate change (Smale et al. 2013; Costanza et al. 2014; Bennett et al. 2016), studying the potential impact of ocean warming on ecologically and socioeconomically important marine organisms has gathered momentum in recent years…”
Societal value of soil carbon (2014, background): “Assessing monetary value of these and other services is a major challenge (Costanza et al. 1997, 1998, 2014).”
