Abstract
⺠We estimate the monetary value of mangrove ecosystem services in Southeast Asia. ⺠We conduct a meta-analysis of mangrove values to estimate a value function. ⺠Values are shown to be highly variable depending on biophysical and socioeconomic factors. ⺠GIS data is used to define a spatially explicit baseline scenario for mangrove loss 2000-2050. ⺠Estimated foregone annual benefits in 2050 are US$ 2.2 billion (95% prediction interval 1.6-2.8).
