ABSTRACT Ecosystem accounting is a coherent framework for integrating measures of ecosystems and the flow of services they provide to the national accounting of economic activity. Here we focus on the accounting of cultural ecosystem services, particularly, nature-based recreation in open access conditions in Finland. The aim is to improve national capacity to proceed to ecosystem accounting by illustrating possibilities in existing data and knowledge and by identifying data gaps. We apply the United Nations System of Integrated Environmental Accounting – Experimental Ecosystem Accounts (SEEA EEA) framework for recreation accounting to test its applicability, and to show how existing national forest and outdoor recreation-related data sets can support accounting. Assessment of the extent of recreational resources is based on data from areas available for recreation. In the assessment of recreational use, we illustrate how nationwide survey data can provide an estimate of the number of recreational visits to nature areas and a solid base for monetary accounts. We identify gaps in the extent, supply and use data for recreational ecosystem services.

生态系统服务会计中的户外休闲：来自芬兰的试点账户

摘要 生态系统核算是一个连贯的框架，用于将生态系统的措施及其提供的服务流整合到国民经济活动核算中。在这里，我们专注于文化生态系统服务的核算，特别是芬兰开放获取条件下的基于自然的娱乐。目的是通过说明现有数据和知识的可能性以及确定数据差距来提高国家进行生态系统核算的能力。我们将联合国综合环境核算系统 - 实验生态系统账户 (SEEA EEA) 框架应用于休闲核算，以测试其适用性，并展示现有的国家森林和户外休闲相关数据集如何支持核算。对娱乐资源范围的评估是基于可用于娱乐的地区的数据。在对休闲用途的评估中，我们说明了全国性调查数据如何提供对自然区域休闲访问次数的估计以及货币账户的坚实基础。我们确定了休闲生态系统服务的范围、供应和使用数据方面的差距。
