“…Some scholars also analyzed the effectiveness of forest ecological service payment programs, including the quantitative analysis of farm rental costs and compensation results, as well as the significant impact on forester enthusiasm, forest harvesting rate and coverage rate [74] . In the studies on the influence of PES on participants, foreign scholars pay more attention to whether the public is willing, the length of the contract, the payment method, the willingness and acceptance of the compensated, whether the compensation standard meets the willingness of forest conservators to receive compensation and the purchase motivation [75][76][77] , etc. One of the key points is the research on ecological compensation intention of private ownership forests and corporate forests [78] .…”

Forest ecological benefit compensation plays a promoting role in improving the enthusiasm of forest ecological builders and maintainers, maintaining the legitimate economic interests of forest owners, and coordinating the fairness between the “clear water and green mountains” protectors and the “gold and silver mountains” beneficiaries. Comprehensive combed the domestic forest ecological benefit compensation mechanism, including the compensation scope, compensation subject, compensation object, the research progress of compensation standard, summarized the forest ecosystem benefits measurement, including physical appraisal method, the value evaluation method, energy analysis method and the characteristics and application research progress of ecological model method. This paper discusses the research status and existing problems of the calculation basis of compensation standard, the origin, research emphasis and progress of forest ecological service payment abroad in recent years, and the mechanism of forest ecological service payment in many countries. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to improve the compensation mechanism of forest ecological benefits in China. On the one hand, it is necessary to broaden the source of funds through various ways of marketization and scientifically evaluate the forest ecological benefits. On the other hand, the compensation standard should be established scientifically and reasonably to achieve different compensation levels or compensation intervals.

“…The twenty countries that agreed to participate distributed the survey to forest managers in both the public and private sectors within their professional networks, the most common route was to advertise in the countries forestry professionals representative body, if these did not exist then the research would use their own professional network. The aim was to receive a minimum of four responses from each country with a spread from both private and public managers, unless the country had a different mix of forest manager typologies, such as dominance of family forests (Ma et al, 2012;Wästerlund et al, 2017;Kang et al, 2019).…”

“…In the aspect of research methods, Li et al [25] conduct an empirical analysis on the affecting factors for the residents' WTA with a logit model, and Zhou et al used the right interception (right censored) model to analyze the influencing factors on farmers' WTA in watershed ecological compensation [26]. Furthermore, some scholars also adopted the random parameter logit model [27], the generalized multinomial logit [28], and the ordinal logistic model [29] to empirically analyze the influencing factors of residents' willingness to pay for environmental protection.…”

Using the contingent valuation method and the Heckman two-stage model, we explore residents’ willingness to accept (WTA) compensation and their WTA level for ecological conservation compensation in the upstream of the Ganjiang River Basin in China. The findings reveal that 86.26% of the respondents are willing to accept compensation, and the average compensation level is ¥789.60/household per year. The residents’ gender, annual disposable income, residential location, decision on whether or not the watershed environment is important, and their satisfaction with water quality and quantity are significantly related to their WTA. The influencing factors that significantly affect compensation level are residents’ occupation, educational background, annual disposable income, family size, residential location, decision on whether or not the watershed environment is important, and their satisfaction with water quality and quantity. The results of this empirical research have important policy implications: the government should strengthen advocacy and education of watershed ecological environment protection, intensify farming and other agricultural activities, establish a differentiated and diversified compensation strategy, so as to protect and improve the ecological environment of the Ganjiang River Basin.
