Developing a Technical Framework for Integrating Ecosystem Service into Strategic Environmental Assessment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ecosystem services (ES) of the biological resources are the foundation for human survival and development, but due to frequent interferences of human activities and high rate of population increasing, biological resources have been severely damaged. The occupation of the value of ecosystem services makes the biodiversity receiving more and more threats. Therefore, protection and management of ecosystem services has become more and more urgent. Through evaluation of the values of ecosystem services at the spatial and temporal scales in a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) framework, we may assess the influences of government policies, programs and plans on ecosystem services more efficiently. In this paper we presented on the method for ecosystem service valuation and involving stakeholders and decision-makers in SEA Processes. Then put forward the evaluation procedure framework of integrating ecosystem service into strategic environmental assessment.
