Natural England has recently published the final report from this research project, in which the total economic value and ecosystem services associated with different land use scenarios due to upland management interventions and policies at a wide range of scales are presented. The study applies a value transfer approach to six case studies of upland management. The results offer interesting conclusions regarding the economic value of ecosystem services under different management approaches and offer recommendations about where and how to apply economic valuation techniques for uplands ecosystem services, and point to where further research is most needed.   

The final report is available for download from:
