Impact evaluation of a payments for ecosystem services program on vegetation quantity and quality restoration in Inner Mongolia

Ting Zhou et al.

Summary: The study on the Natural Forest Conservation Program in Inner Mongolia showed that there were significant gains in vegetation quantity and quality in some townships. Enrolled townships under the NFCP had additional increases in forest quantity and quality compared to unenrolled ones. This research contributes to a better understanding and management of conservation practices by promoting sophisticated impact evaluation of conservation policies.

Integrated assessment of a payment for ecosystem services program in China from the effectiveness, efficiency and equity perspective

Qian Ding et al.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive assessment of a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program in China, using integrated data from remote sensing images, geographic information, household surveys, and policy documents. The results indicate that the program has successfully increased forest coverage and provided various ecological services. However, there are high economic costs for forest recovery and participants in the program experience lower human well-being and unequal income distribution.

Simultaneous enhancement of ecosystem services and poverty reduction through adjustments to subsidy policies relating to grassland use in Tibet, China

Ying Pan et al.

Summary: The study integrated cost-benefit analysis and land-use modeling to identify adjustments to subsidy policies for enhancing ecosystem conservation and poverty reduction. Results showed that annually planted and mowed grassland was more economically profitable than natural grazed grassland, and fencing grassland resulted in economic and ecological profits. Cash subsidies are effective in reducing poverty and supporting ecosystem conservation, while interest-free loans provide initial capital for households. Simultaneously providing both cash subsidies and interest-free loans could achieve a win-win outcome for ecosystem conservation and household income.

Grassland ecological compensation policy in China improves grassland quality and increases herders' income

Lingling Hou et al.

Summary: This study examines the effects of Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy (GECP) on grassland quality and herder income, finding that while it improves grassland quality and increases herder income, it also exacerbates income inequality among herders. The program has induced changes in livestock production behavior, highlighting the importance of flexibility and adaptation to local resource circumstances in such programs.

The Impact of China's Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy on the Income Gap between Herder Households? A Case Study from a Typical Pilot Area

Zhidong Li et al.

Summary: China's policy of subsidies and rewards for grassland ecological protection aims to maintain the ecological function of grasslands and increase the income of herder households. The study found that while the distribution of compensation funds is unbalanced, leading to an increase in local absolute income gap, the relative income gap has reduced under the promotion of this policy.

Combatting global grassland degradation

Richard D. Bardgett et al.

Summary: Grasslands provide crucial ecosystem services, but are often overlooked in sustainable policy. Degradation of grasslands threatens biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. Strategies to combat degradation and promote restoration include increasing global recognition of grasslands, developing standardized indicators, using scientific innovation for effective restoration, and enhancing knowledge transfer and data sharing. These actions can help halt degradation, enhance restoration success, and protect the socio-economic, cultural, and ecological benefits that grasslands provide.
