Land management decisions determine the production of agricultural and forestry outputs. But they also have implications for the production of non?marketed ecosystem goods and services such as water purification and regulation. Shortages of ecosystem services can substantially curtail the livelihoods of particularly the rural population in developing countries who vitally depend on land productivity and natural resources.  The overall objective of the proposed research is to develop innovative valuation methodologies suitable for application in developing countries and apply the methodologies to value changes of land management decisions with respect to non? marketed ecosystem services in the West African Sudanian Savannah region.
