The scale on which the accounting may be conducted varies: the ecosystems measured may range from specific land cover type areas, such as forests, to larger integrated areas, such as river basins, and may include areas considered to be relatively natural and those that are heavily affected by human activity, such as agricultural areas. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting 2012—Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting) constitutes an integrated statistical framework for organizing biophysical data, measuring ecosystem services, tracking changes in ecosystem assets and linking this information to economic and other human activity.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGONATIONAL ACCOUNTINGSOCIAL COSTSFISHINTERGENERATIONAL EQUITYECONOMIC GROWTHRENEWABLE RESOURCESECONOMIC INSTRUMENTSWELFARE ECONOMICSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONCARBON DIOXIDEENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONFOSSIL FUELSAIR QUALITYREDUCING EMISSIONSDISPOSABLE INCOMECARBONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONEXPECTATIONSRESEARCH AGENDAPRODUCERSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSENVIRONMENTAL COSTSTIMBERRIVER BASINSEMISSIONSPOLITICAL ECONOMYENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESRELATIVE VALUESUPPLY CURVESSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTINCENTIVESENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESEQUILIBRIUMMODELSCOMMON GOODRETURNS TO SCALESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC ANALYSISBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYWILLINGNESS TO PAYRESOURCE USENON-USE VALUESECONOMIC ACTIVITYPRESENT VALUECLIMATIC CONDITIONSEXPLOITATIONCONSUMER SURPLUSOILAIR POLLUTIONTRADEOFFSNATURAL CAPITALCAPITAL FORMATIONOPTIONSEXTERNALITIESECOLOGICAL PRINCIPLESDEMAND CURVESLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSMARKET MECHANISMPOLLUTIONEXISTENCE VALUEFORESTRYBENEFIT ANALYSISAQUIFERSGREEN ACCOUNTINGENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSNATURAL RESOURCESCONTINGENT VALUATIONSUBSIDIESEFFICIENCYFISHINGGREENHOUSE GASESRANGELANDSPRIVATE INFORMATIONCARBON EMISSIONSTAXESOPTION VALUELAND USERESOURCESEQUITYCONSUMPTIONSCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGEENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONWAGESCLIMATE CHANGEENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTSENVIRONMENTAL GOODSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTSHADOW PRICESECOLOGICAL FACTORSVALUESECOLOGICAL COMPLEXITYMARKET PRICESECONOMIC VALUECOASTAL WETLANDSHEDONIC PRICINGPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSTRAVEL COST METHODENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSDEFORESTATIONECONOMIC MYTHSDEMANDCPISUSTAINABLE USENATIONAL INCOMEENVIRONMENTAL TAXESENVIRONMENTSEXPENDITURESPROPERTYPRIVATE GOODSENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL VALUESLOGGINGDECISION MAKINGOPPORTUNITY COSTSAGRICULTURAL SYSTEMSQUALITY ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTSOIL DEGRADATIONECOLOGICAL CONDITIONSCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCOMPLEX TASKSTREAMSECONOMICSECONOMIC MODELSCOMMON PROPERTYEMPIRICAL RESEARCHDISCOUNT RATESFISHERIESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTTRADEUSE VALUELANDCOMPARATIVE ANALYSISDRINKING WATERPOSITIVE EXTERNALITIESCOALFARMSECOLOGYWATER POLLUTIONREVENUESCIENTIFIC RESEARCHENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTINGRECYCLINGECOSYSTEM HEALTHECONOMISTSPASTURESECOLOGICAL ECONOMICSINTERMEDIATE INPUTSPROFITSPOLICY INSTRUMENTSENVIRONMENTALNATURAL RESOURCE ECONOMICSPUBLIC GOODWETLANDSPRICESBEQUEST VALUENEGATIVE EXTERNALITIESPRODUCTION COSTSECONOMIESPRODUCTION PROCESSESPOPULATION DYNAMICSPUBLIC GOODSBookUnited Nations, European Union, Food and Agriculture Organization, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Bank Grop10.1596/978-92-1-161575-3
