Ecosystem services (ES) accounts are essential to quantify and monitor the contribution of ecosystems to human well-being. The System of Environmental and Economic Accounting – Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EEA) is the first attempt to provide a set of standards to compile ecosystem accounts. We argue for the inclusion of an ecological perspective in the SEEA EEA that considers ecosystems to be more than input providers to the economy. Ecosystems can act as accounting units capable of producing, consuming and recording changes in regeneration and absorption rates. To account for that we propose (i) to identify ES typologies according to the way in which energy, biomass and information is released to generate services; (ii) to use these typologies to define the concepts of ES potential, ES potential flows, ES demand and ES actual flows; and (iii) to build the ES capacity accounts in monetary terms based on these concepts. These arguments are illustrated with case studies for water purification and crop pollination accounts in European countries. Extending the production boundary would allow the measurement of the sustainable use of ES and the establishment of causality between the use of ES and the value accrued by the economic actors and households.

超越经济界限来解释生态系统服务。

生态系统服务(ES)账户对于量化和监测生态系统对人类福祉的贡献至关重要。环境和经济核算体系——实验生态系统核算(SEEA EEA)是提供一套生态系统核算标准的首次尝试。我们主张将生态视角纳入 SEEA EEA,认为生态系统不仅仅是经济的投入提供者。生态系统可以充当能够生产、消耗和记录再生和吸收率变化的核算单位。考虑到这一点,我们建议 (i) 根据能源、生物质和信息释放以生成服务的方式来确定 ES 类型;(ii) 使用这些类型来定义 ES 潜力、ES 潜在流量、ES 需求和 ES 实际流量的概念;(iii) 根据这些概念以货币形式建立 ES 容量账户。这些论点通过欧洲国家水净化和作物授粉账户的案例研究得到了说明。扩大生产边界将允许衡量ES的可持续利用,并建立ES的使用与经济参与者和家庭所积累的价值之间的因果关系。
