Recent years have seen increasing interest in the concepts of compensation and ecosystem services. Regulation systems in the United States dealing with environmental protection (Superfund Act, Oil Pollution Act, National Environment Policy Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, etc.) require those responsible for damage to ecosystem services to compensate for it “physically” and restore these services for the benefit of the entire population. This article, using simple indicators of compensation identified in the literature, attempts to analyze what types of ecological compensation are adopted, how performance is assessed, how standards on ecological equivalencies are adopted, and what are the costs of this compensation. To perform this analysis, compensatory measures carried out during the last ten years in the case of coastal and marine ecosystems in Florida have been addressed. The results show that: analysis criteria for the equivalencies between ecosystem services lost due to damage and ecosystem services gained due to compensatory measures are questionable; most compensation monitoring is for a relatively brief period of time and the data obtained during this period may be insufficient for assessing the net effect of the compensatory measure; the weaknesses regarding criteria for the equivalencies and the uncertainty about the relevant time-scale can be counter-balanced by increasing the area of compensation, a problematic solution at best.  相似文献   

The Assessment of Natural Spill Incidents based on Resource Damages Caused by Oil Equivalency Analysis Methods     

《地球科学进展》2012,27(6)

尽管国际公约和许多国家立法已将海上溢油事故导致的自然资源损失列入索赔范围,然而,在量化和货币化损害以及确定索赔和修复范围等方面尚未建立被广泛接受的计算方法。生境等价分析（Habitat Equivalency Analysis,HEA）和资源等价分析（Resource Equivalency Analysis,REA）是美国和欧盟应用于评估自然资源损害的理论方法,二者的关键假设是受损的生态服务损失和修复计划的服务收益应当相等。HEA结果依赖于生态服务价值标尺选择、服务价值水平、恢复曲线形状、修复计划时长以及贴现率等;REA结果受死亡生物数量和年龄组成的影响。HEA和REA的非货币形式结果补偿的并非生态环境,而是人类社会福祉。目前,一些货币化损失的方法已被提出,然而传统经济学家和生态经济学家之间存在争议。美国部分法庭承认HEA和REA方法,其结果为法庭索赔提供数据支持。如果将生态学和经济学原理结合考虑,将能够促进等价分析法的深入发展,推动索赔工作更加有理有据。  相似文献
