Climate change is a complex phenomenon that influence the physical, chemical and biological features of the ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems react by changing hydrological patterns (temperature, evaporation, current velocity, sedimentation) and these responses are likely to be mixed with responses of land-use and hydropower plant impact. Biological responses to climate change are likely to...
The methodical guide elaborated by Eco-Tiras is dedicated to economic valuation of ecosystem services in the context of climate change and hydropower impact on the state of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and their services. The book presents and uses a methodology of economic valuation that can be used at different scales. The proposed methodology...
