| Research Abstract |
I established a method for quantifying multiple ecosystem functions and services of seagrass beds. The method enabled to identify the ecosystem services of each seagrass bed in detail, resulting in the consequence that we can determine spatial variation in an integrated economic value of seagrass beds, even among the local seagrass beds with similar categories of ecosystem services.
