Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed over 200 ecosystem restoration projects across various biomes and found that, despite initial perceptions of high costs, most projects provide significant net benefits when considering the value of ecosystem services and future gains.
  • Even under conservative assumptions that benefits reach only 75% of their maximum potential, the benefit-cost ratios ranged from very low (0.051) to quite high (3.51), indicating many projects are economically worthwhile.
  • The results suggest that investing in ecosystem restoration is generally profitable and can be considered a high-yield investment, especially as demand for ecosystem services and biodiversity continues to grow.]

@JacobHros Man hänvisar till De Groot et al., (2013) Benefits of Investing in Ecosystem Restoration (litteraturgenomgång). Men den förutsätter mest att ekosystemen är degraderade (har förlorat sin produktionsförmåga) vilket aktuella svenska skogar inte är.
