A regeneração natural como um serviço do ecossistema: uma proposta metodológica para o seu cálculo (Natural regeneration as an ecosystem service: a methodological proposal for its calculation)

background

This study begins by stating that the economic quantification of ecosystem services is a crucial step towards their sustainable use.

research goals & methods

The study pairs the quantified value of ecosystem services with the process of ecological restoration to attempt to calculate the value of natural regeneration. Both comparative and analytical approaches are used.

conclusions & takeaways

By quantifying the value of the ecosystem services provided by ecological restoration, the authors hope to contribute to the appreciation of fragments of vegetation that can serve as building blocks for natural regeneration.
