Location, Location, Habitat: How the Value of Ecosystem Services Varies across Location and by Habitat
通过选择实验，研究了美国墨西哥湾沿岸三种栖息地（牡蛎礁、盐沼、黑红树林）的生态系统服务价值如何随位置和栖息地变化，发现跨栖息地的价值转移效果较好，而跨位置的效果则参差不齐。
We used a choice experiment to examine how ecosystem service values (ESVs) vary across locations and, for the first time, across habitats. The study context was three habitats (oyster reef, salt marsh, and black mangrove) in two U.S. Gulf Coast locations. The null hypothesis of ESV equality across locations was rejected 44% of the time and, when tested over suites of services, was rejected 50% of the time. Across habitats, the null hypothesis was rejected 22% and 10% of the time, respectively. Overall, benefit transfer across habitats appeared to work fairly well, whereas results were more mixed across locations. <i></i>
