Description:

Because realized ecosystem services are directly consumed by people and clearly illustrate the link between ecosystem services and human well-being, the aim of this project was to distinguish potential and realized ecosystem services in Southern Ontario's landscape. The initial dataset used for this project was the Southern Ontario Land Resource Information System (SOLRIS) land use updated to 2016 for ecoregions 6E and 7E. Our analysis of these data yields a total potential value of the bundled ecosystem services of $19 billion per year for Southern Ontario. To estimate the value of the realized (or used) ecosystem services, the potential values are scaled by the corresponding relative use indices. The resulting value of the realized ecosystem services is $9.7 billion per year, that is, about 50% of the value of the potential ecosystem services.
