Rice fields hosting birds are an example of ecosystem services. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

By Jeanette E. Warnert, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ecosystem services of landscapes in California are essential to the state’s future, but many people take them for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to direct economic outputs, working landscapes \u2013 farms, rangelands, forests and fisheries, to name a few \u2013 sequester carbon, capture water, support wildlife, offer picturesque views and make space for hiking, skiing, boating and other recreational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to put a value to ecosystem services, from an economic standpoint, that incentivizes people who own and manage these landscapes so they can continue to manage them for everyone’s benefit,\u201d said Stephanie Larson<\/a>, UC Cooperative Extension rangeland advisor in Sonoma County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When ecosystem services have been monetized, proper compensation can be calculated, ensuring benefits like clean water, fresh air and a livable climate are protected for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources<\/a> released a report at the California Economic Summit<\/a> in Fresno on the value of California’s working landscapes.<\/a> The report determined the state’s working landscapes generate $333 billion in annual sales and 1.5 million jobs. That number does not include ecosystem services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe value of ecosystem services is probably higher than the $333 billion direct economic contribution of working landscapes outlined in the report,\u201d said Glenda Humiston<\/a>, University of California vice president for agriculture and natural resources. Humiston is chair of the economic summit’s working landscape task force. \u201cThe problem is, when we don’t have that quantified, it’s hard to make investments to make sure those ecosystem services are maintained.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humiston said that, in time, systems can be developed for the public to support the ecosystem services they enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou might have a small surcharge on binoculars,\u201d she said. \u201cThat money could be used to protect bird habitat so birders can go somewhere to see birds. Water districts might assess a surcharge on your water bill to pay for the forested watersheds where they are getting your water. There are many different mechanisms to do this. We’re trying to figure out what would be the best mechanism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summit, a team of researchers, policymakers and industry professionals launched a new phase of work to calculate with scientific accuracy the value of ecosystem services. Larson is a member of the leadership team, along with executive director of the Central Valley Partnership<\/a> Dan O’Connell and Sequoia Riverlands Trust<\/a> director of pubic planning and policy Adam Livingston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team is working with partners to secure funding and technical support to integrate data sets already available from the Council of Governments’ Rural-Urban Connections Strategy<\/a> into an open source, statewide system for mapping ecosystem services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the tool is established, the team will be ready to pilot test it in four areas of California that provide ecosystem services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love this concept,\u201d said Kenny Spain, economic development specialist with the Headwaters Fund<\/a> in Humboldt County and a member of the task force. \u201cIt’s a valuable tool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
