FOREST ECOSYSTEM SERVICES: SELECTED KNOWLEDGE
 Melichar, J. ; Horváthová, Eva
The assessment of ecosystem services (ES) has become an important concept during the last two decades and a model tool used to quantify the contribution of individual ecosystems (including the global one)\nand biodiversity to human well-being. Although there are a number of conceptual frameworks and a wide variety empirical applications, there is a lack of more detailed theoretical definitions based on ecological and economic theories as well ambiguity persists in defining the term ecosystem service. Ad hoc delineation and general formulation of this the concept is then limiting in the interpretation of the achieved results, the possibility of comparison across studies, including implementation transfer of values and functions of values, or when designing economic instruments such as payments for ecosystem services. Therefore, in this paper we discuss terms such as final product, intermediate product,\necological production function and utility function, i.e. concepts that are decisive for the correct definition of ES from the point of view economic theory.

Applying the concept of ecosystem services in the purely urban environment represents in the Czech Republic a unique and innovative approach that will contribute to more effective operations of local public policies, especially in urban planning, sustainable development of society and the environment.
