Projecting Global Land-Use Change and Its Effect on Ecosystem Service Provision and Biodiversity with Simple Models
Erik J. Nelson,Heather A. Sander,Peter L. Hawthorne,Marc Conte,Driss Ennaanay,Stacie Wolny,Steven M. Manson,Stephen Polasky +7 more
TL;DR: By comparing scenarios and their impacts, this work can begin to identify the global pattern of cropland and irrigation development that is significant enough to meet future food needs but has less of an impact on ecosystem service and habitat provision.
Ecosystem services reinforce Sumatran tiger conservation in land use plans
Nirmal Bhagabati,Taylor H. Ricketts,Thomas Barano Siswa Sulistyawan,Marc Conte,Driss Ennaanay,Oki Hadian,Emily McKenzie,Nasser Olwero,Amy Rosenthal,Heather Tallis,Stacie Wolny +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the distribution of five ecosystem services with tiger habitat in central Sumatra and found that the range of tiger habitat overlapped substantially with areas of high carbon storage and sediment retention, but less with areas with high water yield and nutrient retention.

Explaining the price of voluntary carbon offsets
Marc Conte,Matthew J. Kotchen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify factors that explain the large variability in the price of voluntary carbon offsets and find evidence that forestry-based offsets sell at lower prices, and the result is particularly strong when projects are located in developing or least developed nations.

TL;DR: Biodiversity conservation is frequently considered to be a public good as mentioned in this paper, since it provides benefits to specific communities rather than to global society, and the incentive that people have to free ride on the conservation activities of others means that people will collectively conserve too little biodiversity.

Valuation of ecosystem services to inform management of multiple-use landscapes
Shan Ma,Jennifer M. Duggan,Jennifer M. Duggan,Bradley A. Eichelberger,Brynn W. McNally,Jeffrey R. Foster,Eda Pepi,Marc Conte,Gretchen C. Daily,Gretchen C. Daily,Guy Ziv +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on balancing military training with biodiversity and resource conservation under both budgetary and land-use pressures at a representative installation, and define, map, and quantify multiple ecosystem services under realistic management options.
