摘要: Abstract In this paper, the ecological integrity hierarchy framework (EIHF) and natural capital index (NCI) are integrated as decision-making tools for evaluating of Mexico. Two hierarchy-levels indicators used to estimate quality quantity capital, amount degradation sustainability. After human transformation, extent still considered “natural” in country is ∼67%; while transformed areas ∼33%, which gives a total NCI = 0.334; i.e., only ∼33.4% national remains available, ∼33% ecologically degraded. Furthermore, critical capital; legacy future generations that ∼12%. The estimated value current Mexico ∼$457.1 billion/yr, ∼435 times greater than GDP ($1.051 billion 2010). cost maintaining ∼$144.6 billion/yr (∼138 potential after restoration would be ∼$602 billion/yr. Valuing can helpful strategic environmental evaluations useful spatial decision support systems evaluate tool.
