German term or phrase: nachempfundener Gebrauchswert

So umfasst der ökonomische Gesamtwert der biologischen Vielfalt eigentlich insgesamt sechs Bewertungskategorien: den direkten und indirekten Gebrauchswert, den Optionswert, den nachempfundenen Gebrauchswert, den Vermächtniswert und den Existenzwert.

The text deals with methods of calculating the value of services provided to humans by nature, e.g. pollination by bees etc. Although these "services" are currently free of charge, there are attempts to set up with a scientific calculator as an attempt to raise awareness about biodiversity loss. The text mentions a range of different values, I got stuck with "nachempfundener Gebrauchswert." Can somebody help?

Thanks
Katharina

non-use value

Explanation:
A. The Use Values
1. The Direct Use Values (DUV) are the benefits derived from fish, agriculture, fuel wood, recreation, transport, wildlife harvesting, peat/energy, vegetable oils, dyes, fruits, …
2. The Indirect Use Value (IUV) are the indirect benefits derived from the wetlands functions like nutrient retention, flood control, storm protection, groundwater recharge, external ecosystem support, micro-climatic stabilization, shoreline stabilization, etc.
3. The Option Value (OV) in which an individual derives benefits from ensuring that a resource will be available for future use.

B. The Non-Use values
1. The Non-Use Value (NUV) is derived from the knowledge that a resource (biodiversity, cultural heritage, religious site, and bequest) is maintained. This value is strongly advocated by environmentalists who support the concept of the pure intrinsic value of nature.

non-consumptive value
the value of resources which are not diminished by their use. Values that do not require access to or active use of a biological resource by the valuer. Passive use value may imply that the resource is used by other humans whose welfare matters to the valuer. It therefore includes vicarious use value, bequest value and existence value. (Also non-use or passive use value.) [GBA]

A non-use value (feel good or warm glow) is a value associated that does not concern our use, either direct or indirect, of the environment, its resources or services.
