アイルランドの間欠的カルスト湖沼・湿地であるターラフの生態系サービスを7地点で評価。洪水緩和、生息地提供、エコツーリズムなどの調整・文化的サービスが最も重要で、年間価値は€1,589〜45,747 ha⁻¹。温室効果ガス収支は湿地間で異なり、気候変動と栄養塩負荷が将来のサービス提供にリスクをもたらす。
English
This study assesses ecosystem services of seven turloughs (intermittent karst lakes/wetlands) in western Ireland. Regulating and cultural services, especially flood mitigation, habitat, and ecotourism, are most valuable, with annual values ranging €1,589–45,747 ha⁻¹. Greenhouse gas balances vary among turloughs, with some acting as net sinks and others as sources, influenced by hydrology and nutrients. Nutrient enrichment and climate change pose risks.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
アイルランドの特殊な湿地生態系の評価であり、日本のGX文脈（SSBJ、有報、TCFDなど）との直接的な接点は少ない。ただし、温室効果ガス収支の測定手法や生態系サービスの経済的評価は、日本の湿地保全や炭素吸収源評価に参考となる可能性がある。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a comprehensive valuation of ecosystem services for a specific type of temperate wetland, relevant to global climate regulation and biodiversity conservation. While not directly linked to corporate disclosure frameworks like TCFD or ISSB, the greenhouse gas flux data and monetary valuation methods can inform national GHG inventories and natural capital accounting.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in wetland ecology and ecosystem service valuation will find detailed field data and monetary estimates for a rare habitat type.
🏢実務担当者:Land managers and conservation agencies can use the valuation results to justify wetland protection and restoration investments.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers involved in natural capital accounting or EU Habitats Directive implementation may consider the economic case for turlough conservation.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Turloughs are temporary karst lakes and wetlands found primarily in Ireland, characterised by strong seasonal inundation driven by groundwater–surface water interactions. Despite their ecological importance and legal protection under the EU Habitats Directive, the ecosystem services (ESs) provided by turloughs have not previously been comprehensively quantified. This study assessed and valued the main ESs provided by seven turloughs in western Ireland, selected to represent a range of hydrological regimes. Water and soil physicochemical properties, nutrients, and carbon pools were monitored across seasons, and greenhouse gas fluxes were measured during both wet and dry phases. Ecosystem services were identified and quantified following established classification frameworks and, where appropriate, expressed in monetary terms. The most important services were regulating and cultural services, particularly flood mitigation, habitat provision, and ecotourism, while provisioning services (e.g. water and fodder) were of lower overall value but locally relevant. Estimated annual ES values ranged from €1,589 to €45,747 ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹, broadly comparable to values reported for other temperate wetlands, although substantial variability among turloughs was observed. Greenhouse gas balances revealed contrasting roles in climate regulation, with some turloughs acting as net sources and others as net sinks of greenhouse gases, strongly influenced by hydrology and nutrient status. Overall, the ecohydrological condition of the studied turloughs appears relatively stable compared to assessments from a decade earlier, but emerging pressures from nutrient enrichment and climate change pose risks to future ES provision. The results demonstrate that turlough conservation is economically justified even before accounting for biodiversity and cultural heritage values.
