The Base Value of the Ecological Compensation Standard in Transboundary River Basins: A Case Study of the Lancang–Mekong River Basin

The ecological compensation standard in transboundary river basins should be determined by the basin countries through negotiation on basis of base value standard. This paper calculated range standard, determining upper limit based spillover ecosystem services for ecosystem-service-consuming country and lower according to cost protection ecosystem-service-supplying country. final was integrating this with willingness pay actual effort each Taking, example, Lancang–Mekong River basin, results indicate that Laos, China Myanmar positive these three were countries, while Cambodia, Vietnam Thailand it negative countries. Among them descending order Myanmar, which related their own level economic development. Considering adjustment coefficient payment service cost-sharing country, feasible [2.47, 229.67] × 108 $, provided determination ECS. In addition, implementation suggestions proposed from aspects: establishing a basin-information-sharing mechanism platform, an integrated management organization basins, strengthening improving coordination supervision model compensation.
