Efficacy of ecological compensation programs under centralized management: evidence from China

Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Feb. 24, 2025

Watershed ecological compensation programs have emerged as a pivotal instrument for internalizing the externalities associated with watershed protection. In most countries, direct participants in projects are ordinary persons and enterprises, but China, local governments central government, which to some extent affected efficacy of programs. This study used PSM–DID analyze Xin’an River Basin Ecological Compensation Project (Xin’an-BECP) calculated loss opportunity developed upstream area through EKC (Environmental Kuznets Curve) fitting, makes benefit assessment government-led more objective provides model that can be benefits BECP developing countries. Our results show (1) treatment effect Xin’an-BECP is not obvious; (2) funds gained by much lower than theoretical loss; (3) enterprises transaction Xin’an-BECP. Finally, based on conclusions discussion, we propose specific policy recommendations guide countries increasing compensatory effects context growing demand economic development.

Study on Territorial Spatial Equilibrium Based on Ecosystem Service Value: A Case Study of the Southwest Guangxi Karst‐Beibu Gulf, China

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Nov. 27, 2024

ABSTRACT Exploring the regional territorial spatial equilibrium state (TSES) has emerged as a key goal of “Two Mountains” planning and decision‐making, well governance. However, there is still shortage perspectives that consider ecosystem service value (ESV) to reveal predict TSES. To this end, study develops framework for analyzing interaction between ESV socio‐economic (SEV), investigates pattern, process, mechanism their employing model, couples MOP‐PLUS model two under different scenarios, in order fill gaps current research. The results show that: (1) From 1980 2020, (decreasing trend) SEV (increasing Southwest Guangxi Karst‐Beibu Gulf (SGK‐BG) opposite trends distribution patterns. Under all three simulated projection projected SGK‐BG 2030 shows degrees decreases, with economic development leading greatest fluctuations rate decrease; implementation an ecological protection strategy leads small decrease SEV, vice versa. (2) TSE coordinated (CES) districts counties are mainly clustered GSK region, number 2020 increasing by 30% compared 1980; imbalance (EIS) areas located central part area some along coast Beibu Gulf, developmental (DIS) northwestern area. above TSES have highest distributions business usual scenario (BAUS), first (EDFS), conservation (ECFS), respectively. differences equilibriums serious conservation. This emphasizes pathways evolution subregions realization ESV, evaluation not only useful supplement research on theory, but also can help policymakers provide scientific decisions promoting synergistic, orderly region.
