Short Communication: Estimation of aboveground biomass and carbon sequestration in KGPAA Mangkunagoro I Grand Forest Park, Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 2257-2263. Forests play an important role in climate change mitigation by absorbing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and store it in the form of biomass. Valuation of carbon storage potential of a forest will provide insight on the importance of preserving it. This study aims to assess plant diversity and estimate aboveground biomass, carbon stocks, carbon dioxide sequestration potential, and the economic value of ecosystem services from carbon sequestration in KGPAA Mangkunagoro I Grand Forest Park, Central Java, Indonesia. We used a non-destructive method (i.e. allometric equation) in estimating aboveground biomass and carbon stock. We established 50 sampling plots to identify and measure trees (DBH >20 cm) and poles (10<DBH<20 cm). The results showed that there were 30 species from 20 families found in the observation plots. The potential aboveground biomass at the tree and pole level was 297.92 tons/ha and 57.22 tons/ha, respectively, while the total carbon stock for tree and pole was 140.02 tons/ha and 26.89 tons/ha, respectively. This was equivalent to carbon dioxide sequestration of 513.88 tons/ha and 98.70 tons/ha for trees and poles. The economic value of environmental services from carbon stock in the whole area of KGPAA Mangkunagoro I Grand Forest Park was estimated at IDR 21,289,040,253. The results of this research show that apart from playing a role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon, KGPAA Mangkunagoro I Grand Forest Park also has valuable economic value.

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for estimate economic valuation for flood risk in DKI Jakarta Province

A 4-day-flood occurred in Jakarta Province, Indonesia at the end of 2019 caused severe moral and material losses and weakened the economy. Various flood risk management methods are available to mitigate this damage. Assessing flood risks is thus an essential task for disaster management activities. An accurate flood risk map is required to be developed. In this research, we developed an economic valuation of flood risk that combines a quick flood map with the consequences of flooding using the Multi – Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) in the DKI Jakarta area. A quick identification of flood zones was carried out using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar). We estimated that about 54.10 km2 area was flooded area with a total economic loss about 1.406 trillion rupiahs. The sector of construction (10.10%), manufacturing (11.51%), wholesale, rental trade and repair of vehicles (13,90%), business activities (6.77%), financial & insurance (7.33%), and information & communication (7.6%) are major affected sectors that contributes 56.86% of the total economic loss from the market value. 20.49%-other service activities implicitly underestimate the value of environmental services and human productivities. To understand this, a detailed analysis of non-market value is needed in understanding the actual total economic loss.

Abstract. Sari EK, Mulyana A, Antoni M, Adriani D. 2022. Economic values of environmental services of three forest areas in South Ogan Komering Ulu District, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 6180-6190. Forest provides environmental services in the form of provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural services. However, forest is often valued from its timber products, neglecting its broader role in delivering environmental services especially its role in maintaining ecological functions. Forests in South Ogan Komering Ulu District, South Sumatra, Indonesia have high ecological importance in delivering environmental services, yet these forests are pressured by clearing and conversion into plantations and agriculture. The study aimed to comprehensively calculate the total economic value of environmental services delivered by three forest areas in South Ogan Komering Ulu, namely Gunung Raya Wildlife Reserve, Saka Production Forest and Saka Limited Production Forest. We calculated total economic value by incorporating the use value, which consists of direct use value and indirect use value, and the non-use value, which consists of option value, existence value and bequest value. The results revealed that the total economic value of the three forest areas is IDR 863,868,883,037. In more detail, the use value consisted of direct use value with IDR 354,378,792,460 contributing to 41.02% and indirect use value with IDR 509,309,370,324 contributing to 58.96% to the total economic value. The non-use value is from the option value, the existence value and bequest value with IDR 97,449,120 (0.01%), IDR 65,512,153 (0.01%) and IDR 17,758,980 (0.0021), respectively. Our study implies that forest has tremendous ecological functions which provide a very high economic value and environmental services, where these functions are often neglected.

Integrating Economic Value of Environmental Services and Carbon Stock: A Case Study from Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park

As a conservation area, national parks play essential roles in environmental services provision and have the potential to support the REDD+ program. This study aims to estimate appropriate incentives for national parks based on carbon units by integrating the economic value of environmental services and carbon stock provided by the lowland dry forest ecosystem in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (BNWNP) consisted of North Sulawesi and Gorontalo areas. Carbon stock was estimated by establishing sample plots, including five carbon pools. While the economic valuation of environmental services includes biodiversity using the market approach, ecotourism using the zonal travel cost method, and water service using simulation water regulation services method and market approach. The total ecosystem carbon stock in BNWNP is estimated at 73.67 Mton. Meanwhile, the estimation of the economic value of environmental services is about IDR 70.57 trillion. Based on these results, the appropriate carbon values are IDR 683,308 and IDR 1,304,238 per ton carbon for the lowland dry forest ecosystem in Gorontalo and North Sulawesi areas. This result indicates that given its essential environmental services, the incentive for protecting national parks may exceed the carbon value used in result-based payment scheme in REDD+ initiatives that have been implemented.

Economic valuation of mangrove ecosystem environmental services based on green economy

One of the important agendas in current development is promoting mangrove forests as one of the green economic assets in Indonesia. The green economy concept emphasizes improving people’s welfare but reducing the risk of environmental damage and scarcity of ecological functions. One approach that can be used to maintain economic activity and preserve the environment is the economic valuation approach. Therefore, this study aims to measure the value of the economic benefits of mangrove ecosystem services as one of the concepts of the green economy as an effort to support government programs to realize the mangrove ecosystem as a green economic asset in Indonesia.

Evaluation of non-market environmental services in smallholder forest plantations with choice experiments in Dormaa forest district, Ghana

Timber production is the focus of forest management in Ghana. Environmental services are scarcely factored into forest management plans. This may be due to a lack of understanding and estimation of the value of environmental services. Using choice modelling, this study attempts to fill the information gap. Non-market attributes of forest plantations were identified from literature and reconnaissance surveys. Conjoint analysis was employed to estimate the value of these attributes. Orthogonal design was used to generate different combinations of attribute levels into profiles. Respondents ranked the profiles from most to least preferred. The results show that water regulation was the most influential attribute in the ranking of choice profiles. Farmers were willing to accept US$114.30·ha−1·year−1 as compensation for improving environmental services. Findings on the non-market environmental services and socioeconomic characteristics of farmers can help forest managers better evaluate actions and policies to enhance forest management.
