Land
trusts, corporations, and public agencies are increasingly interested in
trading credits to help compensate for unavoidable loss of beneficial
ecosystem services. However, a key stumbling point is how to to estimate
and monitor the ecosystem services that are the currency of the trading or
banking system. This course covers a range of naturally-performed ecosystem
services including carbon sequestration, water purification, and fishery
production, describing the current scientific basis for estimating each. As
a prelude for trading their credits, you will learn to use specific
indicators and practical approaches for estimating these services within and
among forests, grasslands, conservation tillage lands, wetlands, and other
systems. Scientific aspects will be emphasized; economic valuation and
accounting aspects will not be covered in detail. This course will be taught by Adamus. |
