Benefits, costs, and livelihood implications of a regional payment for ecosystem service program.
Despite broad interest in using payment for ecosystem services to promote changes in the use of natural capital, there are few expost assessments of impacts of payment for ecosystem services programs on ecosystem service provision, program cost, and changes in livelihoods resulting from program participation. In this paper, we evaluate the Paddy Land-to-Dry Land (PLDL) program in Beijing, China...

متن کاملFactors affecting land reconversion plans following a payment for ecosystem service program
Humans have altered much of the natural land cover, resulting in ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss worldwide. Many countries have implemented conservation payment programs for agricultural land conversion to counter this trend. However, the sustainability of ecosystem services from these programs is unknown due to uncertainty about land uses when payments cease. We studied post-progra...

The majority of the CRP contracts on approximately 36 million acres of enrolled land are expiring within the next two years, with the result that re-enrollment decisions by farmers and the federal government will have high budgetary implica...
