indirect benefits of forest resources
Answers
Answer:
Indirect use benefits refer to environmental services provided by forests that are of indirect value, such as carbon sequestration, the provision of habitat to protect biodiversity or various ecosystem protection services such as the ability to reduce soil erosion and the siltation of rivers
Answer:
Indirect use of forest services for carbon storage is relatively easy to measure in physical terms and there is some international consensus on valuation. But use of other indirect services, such as biodiversity protection, is represented qualitatively through physical indicators. In the economics literature, a range of economic techniques has been developed to estimate these values, but there is no agreement on valuation at this time, so monetary forest accounts have omitted them.
In the forestry economic literature, quite a bit of work has been done to estimate option value and non-use values. However, these values are rather experimental at the present time; neither SEEA nor any official forestry accounts have attempted to include these values. In future, when there is greater consensus on these values, they may be included.
