    Ecosystem services are the basis of human development and existence. The resilience and balance of ecosystems is the key to the well-being and comfort of the human race, but their role and value of services provided is often underestimated. The aim of the given research is to conduct economic assessment of ecosystem services of natural plant associations of the selected area – Pluzhne forestry. Forests are known to provide the most diverse and comprehensive complex of ecosystem services and thus represent complicated object for assessment. The first step of the assessment included formulation of the list of ecosystem services to be included into the assessment procedure, giving priority to the most well-studied. The second step was aimed at determination of the unit prices for the chosen services. They were elaborated based on similar valuations, sufficiently supported by research data. The resulted cost of ecosystem services provided were compared to the assessments, performed for forest ecosystems in Ukraine and European countries, which is an element of novelty and originality. Although there are noticeable deviations in specific value of ecosystem services per unit of forest area, the general trend in consistent with European experience. The reasons of differences could be explained by the choice of approaches to unit prices evaluation and list of services included into assessment. The obtained data are important for raising awareness of local population and authorities about the importance of ecosystems functioning and need to invest resources in their support and protection. Research works of such kind are still rare in Ukrainian academic sphere despite their high importance for efficient management of environment quality and use. Thus, there is a clear need develop this research field and the given research contributes theoretical and applied provisions for further assessments of such kind

    Identification and economic assessment of ecosystem services of natural plant associations
    (National Aviation University, 2021-12) Nazarkov, Taras Ihorovych; Назарков, Тарас Ігорович
    The thesis explains the uncontrolled use of natural resources in the form of ecosystem services, which is a serious environmental and social problem that leads to negative consequences for biotic and abiotic components. The scientifically based assessment is still not always correct, and the information obtained is not disseminated to the public. Therefore, there is a need to properly assess ecosystem services and bring information to the public and the public who directly use them. The aim of the work is the economic assessment of ecosystem services of natural plant associations on the example of Pluzhne forestry. It was decided to conduct a modern assessment and identification of ecosystem services, to translate the results into currency for economic evaluation and understanding the value of these services. Methods of search, analysis and synthesis of information, mathematical estimation, method of direct market estimation, method of indirect market estimation, method of conditional estimation, method of conditional estimation, method of group estimation, method of readiness to pay, methods of statistical data processing are used in the work. The results of this work are the basis for further study of the identification of ecosystem services in the forest ecosystems of our country at both local and national levels.
