“…Achieving additionality is considered the gold standard for PES: payments ought to induce behavior change that would not have occurred without the financial incentive ( Tacconi, 2012 , Wunder, 2005 ). Permanence, on the other hand, is the ability of PES-induced land use changes to persist over the long-term after payments end ( Calle, 2020 , Pagiola et al, 2016 , Pagiola et al, 2020 , Wunder, 2008 ). Additionality and the possibility of permanence are expected to work in different ways for ‘asset-building’ and ‘use-restricting’ PES.…”

“…Asset-building PES pay landowners to establish or restore an ES by adopting environmentally-beneficial practices that are also profitable, e.g. silvopastoral practices ( Calle, 2020 , Pagiola et al, 2016 , Pagiola et al, 2020 , Wunder, 2005 ). These programs typically achieve additionality through short-term payments that help landowners overcome the initial economic obstacles to implementing the desired practice, e.g.…”

“…tree planting. For asset-building PES, continuous payments may not be required to deliver long-term conservation outcomes ( Calle, 2020 ). By contrast, use-restricting PES use financial incentives to achieve additionality by paying landowners for restricting their use of a resource, e.g.…”

“…Only recently in the tropics have some PES projects reached their scheduled end, providing opportunities to empirically study the permanence of PES-induced conservation outcomes post-program completion ( Calle, 2020 , Jayachandran et al, 2018 , Pagiola et al, 2016 , Pagiola et al, 2020 ). In Nicaragua and Colombia, the Regional Integrated Silvopastoral Ecosystem Management Project used short-term payments from 2003 to 2007 to induce landholders in two cattle ranching landscapes to adopt silvopastoral practices on degraded pastures ( Calle, 2020 , Pagiola et al, 2016 , Pagiola et al, 2020 ). In both countries, four years after the PES program’s completion, landholders maintained the environmentally beneficial land use changes they adopted while under the program, but did not expand these post-payments ( Pagiola et al, 2016 , Pagiola et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Despite the rapid growth of PES literature ( Börner et al, 2017 ), research on post-PES outcomes in the tropics is lacking. Some scholars have begun to test for the permanence of conservation outcomes in the few PES projects that have reached their planned cessation ( Calle, 2020 , Jayachandran et al, 2018 , Pagiola et al, 2016 , Pagiola et al, 2020 ). No research to our knowledge has been published on the effects of an un-planned interruption in payments on individuals’ conservation behavior.…”

Highlights: We analyze deforestation outcomes and equity implications of a two-year interruption in forest PES in Ecuador’s Amazon. Quasi-exp. tests show that without payment, deforestation resumed on enrolled properties situated near high defor pressure. Where deforestation pressures were low, enrolled properties continued to conserve more than non-enrolled properties. Focus groups and interviews revealed enrolled landowners lacked information and their contract terms were imbalanced. Equity, transparency, funding, and trust are essential for the long-term viability of incentive-based conservation.

Climate-Smart Forestry in Mountain Regions

In this volume, the concept of climate-smart forestry (CSF) has been introduced as adaptive forest management and governance to address climate change, fostering resilience and sustainable ecosystem service provision. Adaptive forest management and governance are seen as vital ways to mitigate the present and future impact of climate change on forest. Following this trajectory, we determine the ecosystem services approach as a potential adaptive tool to contribute to CSF. Ecosystem services as public or common goods face the traditional social dilemma of individual versus collective interests, which often generate conflicts, overuse, and resource depletion. This chapter focuses on the ecosystem servicegovernance approach, especially on incentive tools for behavioral change to CSF in the long term, which is a basic precondition for the sustainability of ecosystem integrity and functions, as well as ensuring the continuous delivery of ecosystem goods and services, as per the CSF definition. Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are seen as innovative economic instruments when adding a social dimension by involving local communities and their values to ensure the long-term resilience and adaptation of forest ecosystems to climate change. We argue that tackling climate changeadaptation requires the behavioral change of ecosystem service providers to a collaborative and integrated PES approach, as also emphasized by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda 2030.
