Accounting and Assessment of Ecosystem Services of Novokuznetsk Coal-Mining Area (Kemerovo Oblast)
https://doi.org/10.31857/S2587-55662019388-97
Abstract
Development of territories with excessive mineral resource use is traditionally based on income from mining and mineral resources processing. At the same time, their ecosystems are an important source of human well-being as they produce many ecosystem services. Reaching a compromise between two sources of territory development – abiotic services (coal mining) and ecosystem services – is one of the major objectives of sustainable development of the regions with excessive mineral resource use. This article assesses and compares ecosystem and abiotic services in the coal-mining area in Kemerovo oblast in monetary and physical terms. The results of economic evaluation of ecosystem and abiotic services are considered to be a key element in efficiency assessment of spatial organization of environmental management concerning sustainable development of the territory.

- The traditional assessment of the economic efficiency of open-pit coal mining does not take into account the loss of the territory’s ecosystem services.
- The estimated economic value of ecosystem services are as follows (in ‘000 rubles/ha/year): 30 for meadows, 52 for surface water bodies, 133 for agricultural lands, 186 for forests territories, and 405 for floodplain areas.
- The economic assessment of ecosystem services (in physical and monetary terms) is most relevant for the economic and geographical analysis and the management of the areas of excessive mineral resources use.
