Methods for mapping ecosystem service supply: a review (2012, background): “2010b ) caused when a single average value of ES is assigned to an entire cartographical category (Plummer 2009 ), resulting in a poor fit of ES estimates.”
Banking Nature? The Spectacular Financialisation of Environmental Conservation (2013, background): “…device noted above of the substitutability or correspondence between different locations, by permitting the transfer of “economic value estimates from one location to a similar site in another location”—an assumption and practice that again can produce a number of transfer errors (Plummer 2009:39).”
A multi-criteria approach for an integrated land-cover-based assessment of ecosystem services provision to support landscape planning (2012, methodology): “Benefit transfer In a first step, we used a benefit transfer method (see e.g. Plummer, 2009; Troy and Wilson, 2006), which can be described as an up-scaling of data assessed on smaller spatial units to larger areas that are assumed to be homogenous.”
Classifying Ecosystem Services for Economic Valuation: The case of forest water services (2010, background): “The estimation of the economic value of ecosystem services (hereinafter called ES) is expected to play an important role in conservation planning and ecosystembased management (Plummer, 2009; Stenger et al., 2009; Turner et al., 2007), and to become increasingly important for”
Cost of reactive nitrogen release from human activities to the environment in the United States (2015, background): “Most of these estimates were taken from large-scale studies (national or regional in nature) to avoid the problems associated with benefit transfer where using site-specific information can produce unreasonable costs for different areas (Plummer 2009).”

Mapping ecosystem services' values: current practice and future prospects. (2013, background): “The assumptions of uniform ESS supply and values across the same land covers, as used by Costanza et al. (1997) and repeated by many others, can be considered as a huge simplification (Plummer, 2009; Eigenbrod et al., 2010a).”
Science in support of ecosystem-based management for the US West Coast and beyond (2010, background): “Thus far, InVEST has been developed exclusively for terrestrial settings (Nelson et al., 2009), but development of marine models is underway, focusing on fish production, coastal protection and recreation (Ruckelshaus and Guerry, 2009).”
