Abstract:Ecosystem services value evaluation is the basis of ecosystem protection and management. Numerous methods have been used for ecosystem services value evaluation, but there are no widely acceptable ecosystem services evaluation methods. Deliberative monetary valuation (DMV), combined deliberation, and stated preference methods are the new evaluation methods. We reviewed the study backgrounds of DMV, summarized the study contents and advantages of DMV, DMV application in ecosystem services value evaluation, and Willingness to Pay(WTP) values produced by DMV. We also described the challenges and limitations of DMV application, as well as proposed prospects for DMV application in China. This review provides a reference for the application and promotion of DMV in China and explores more effective methods for ecosystem service value evaluation.
