Abstract

This paper deals with unpublished results of monetary estimation of forest natural habitats in Central European lowland landscape based on the application of original expert methods. The main aim of this paper is to highlight the significance of the monetary valuation of biodiversity for the environmental assessment of landscape. These examined habitats can be damaged by a building of water management infrastructure, and information related to monetary value of habitats will be important for environmental impact assessment. The total monetary value of the forest natural habitats in the study area was remarkably high. The awareness of the high monetary value of forest natural habitats in a specific river catchment based on monetary units can be an important impetus for regional environmental decision- and policy-makers. These results in the study area are wider portable to other regions, where precise information about delimitation of natural habitats in landscape is available.
