Source: UF/IFAS

28 Ecosystem Service Values of Florida Forests Values estimated using global averages Benefit transfer method Ecosystem service values estimated for one location are used to estimate the value of similar services in another location. Accuracy depends on the quality of the original valuation study and the degree of similarity between the locations.
