Table 1.
Development status of the four knowledge products included in this study.
A brief description of each knowledge product is available in [7].
Fig 1.
Different stages of knowledge generation and dissemination covered by the four knowledge products for which costs are included in this review.
The coloured bars show which stages are covered by each knowledge product currently which were costed in the study. In 2013 only IBAs, AZE and KBAs identified through CEPF hotspot ecosystem profiling processes cover stages 4, 5 and 7.The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems will cover stages 4 and 7 in the near future; an extensive list of technical resources is available at www.iucnredlistofecosystems.org but no spatial data or indicators are yet available.

Categories, subcategories and funding sources classification used to categorise costs.
Table 3.
Summary of data collection for all four knowledge products.
The table summarises which costs were collected for each of the four knowledge products and how much of the total number of assesments, available in December 2013, these represent. In cases where 100% of the costs were not collected, the total sum for each knowledge product was increased propotionally to reach 100%.
Table 4.
Overall funds (midpoints) and volunteer days invested in the four knowledge products between 1979 and 2013, and annual cost in 2013.
The mid-point is the equidistant point between the maximum and minimum values. Full details are available in S4 Table.
