25日發行的一份加拿大研究報告中指出，極地森林在生態服務上創造了2250億美元的產值，包括水質過濾和碳素收集等服務。加拿大研究員表示，此一龐大的金額並沒有納入國民收入帳，或國內生產毛額等數據內，他們極力主張制定一套全面的自然資產會計系統，以確認極地森林所提供的生態服務價值。
Boreal Forests Provide Billions in Uncounted Benefits
Boreal forests provide $225 billion in ecological services, including water filtration and carbon capture, according to estimates released Monday by Canadian researchers. This huge figure is unrecognized in national income accounts or measures such as gross domestic product, said the researchers, who urged creation of a comprehensive accounting system for natural capital to recognize the full value of services provided by boreal forests.
