Abstract:As the only surface water source for Beijing, the Miyun Reservoir and its catchment (MRC) are a focus for concern about the degradation of ecosystem services (ES) unless appropriate payments for ecosystem services (PES) are in place. This study used the contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate the costs of two new PES programs, for agriculture and forestry, and to further calculate the economic value of ES in the MRC from the perspective of local rural households' willingness to accept (WTA). The results of Logit model including WTA and the variables of household and village indicate that the local socio-economic context has complex effects on the WTA of rural households. In particular, the bid amount, location and proportion of off-farm employment would have significant positive effects on the local WTA. In contrast, the insignificance of the PES participation variable suggests that previous PES program experiences may negatively impact subsequent program participation. The mean WTA payments for agriculture and forestry PES programs were estimated as 8531 and 8187 yuan/ha/year, respectively. These results consistently explain the differentiated opportunity costs on both farmland and forestry land. Meanwhile, the differentiated WTA values in Beijing vs. the surrounding Hebei Province follow the interest differences and development gaps between jurisdictions. Finally, the total economic value of ES in the MRC area was estimated at 11.1 billion yuan/year). The rational economic value of ES for the restoration priority areas reaches 515.2 million yuan/year. For the existing budget gap (299 million yuan/year), the study proposed that decision makers increase the water tariff by 0.08 yuan to raise the funds needed. The study also concluded that these results are not only financially and politically feasible but also cost-effective. This study has policy implications for improving the implementation efficiency and providing quantified supports for PES programs in megacity source water area.

“…Ketidakjelasan narasi aturan dan inkonsistensi dimana lebih didominasi pemahaman ilmu kehutanan dan mengabaikan pengguna lain, khususnya masyarakat sekitar hutan atau interaksi sosial sering diabaikan (Kartodihardjo, 2013). Tidak adanya peran serta masyarakat dalam pengaturan pemanfaatan, mengakibatkan masyarakat terpisah dari interaksi sosialnya dalam pengelolaan hutan, khususnya dalam mencari kebutuhan kehidupannya sendiri (livelihoods) dengan membentuk akses terhadap kawasan hutan (Ingram et al, 2014).…”

The interest of various parties on forest utilization access lead to the ambiguity of property rights due to user overlapping. This research explained the ambiguity factors of property rights from access mechanism and its ABSTRAKKepentingan berbagai pihak terkait akses pemanfaatan hutan mengakibatkan ketidakjelasan hak kepemilikan karena tumpang tindih pengguna. Penelitian ini menjelaskan faktor penyebab ketidakjelasan hak kepemilikan dari mekanisme akses dan kaitannya dengan konflik lahan. Peneliti menggunakan teknik purposive sampling untuk mendapatkan data perubahan lahan, dokumen proses tata batas dan kepemilikan lahan, sejarah pengelolan, wawancara mendalam dengan 123 orang tokoh kunci. Analisis data menggunakan Rapid Land Tenure Assessment (RaTA) dan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teori akses dan hak kepemilikan dapat menjelaskan tumpang tindih lahan pada wilayah KPHP Meranti. Analisis akses mekanisme hak menjelaskan faktor-faktor perubahan status kepemilikan lahan dan penyebab tumpang tindih lahan, yaitu: a) dinamika perubahan pengelolaan, b) permasalahan batas kawasan, dan c) lemahnya pengawasan. Faktor penyebab pengguna lahan dari mekanisme struktur antara lain: ikatan kekerabatan, pemberian dari pesirah (sistem patrones), dan

“…For example, payments for ecosystem services is a market-based alternative and has been suggested as a more effective strategy for offsetting landowner costs associated with ecosystem service production (Ingram et al 2014). Studies have identified non-industrial private forest landowners as receptive to payments for carbon sequestration Dwivedi et al 2009); but, we still know relatively little about forest landowner preferences for these policy approaches and their use has not been widely subscribed.…”

Key Messages• Production forestry provides substantial benefits to the state of Florida, including the provision of ecosystem services, such as regulation of water quantity and quality, provision of wildlife habitat and carbon sequestration, and supporting 80,000 jobs and $16.34 billion/year in economic activity.• Climate through the end of the century in the production forestry regions of northern Florida and southern Georgia is predicted to warm from 1.5 °C to almost 3.5 °C, with small increases in annual precipitation, and elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration. Models predict that these changes will result in substantial increases in potential loblolly pine and slash pine plantation productivity, ranging from 5-35% depending on emissions scenario, species, and location.• Forestry is unique in that it is one of the few industries that sequesters more carbon than it emits. There are opportunities to increase carbon sequestration for mitigation of atmospheric CO 2 through retention or expansion of forested areas, altered forest management, and the use of woody biomass for power generation in place of fossil fuels.• The frequency and intensity of abiotic disturbances, such as wildfire and windstorms, are likely to be affected by climate change; but predictions remain uncertain about the magnitude of change and their effects on the forest resource.• Research is underway to better understand how native forest pests and pathosystems may respond to changing climate. The movement of pests or pathogens into previously nonimpacted areas is of particular concern.• Plantation forests have been a vital part of protecting regional water quantity and quality, and they will continue to be essential features of healthy, productive landscapes as climate changes and the potential for adverse climate impacts on water resources increases.'• The key to adapting forest management to changing climate will be the considered application of silvicultural tools, such as competition control, density and fertility management, and proper choice of species for each site. Keeping abreast of research advances related to these tools will be increasingly important for forest managers as climate conditions change.• There are several viable policy options for harnessing forests to mitigate climate change and increasing forest resilience and adaptation to climate change. However, since 71% of Florida's forests are privately owned, policy options must align well with landowner needs to have adequate impact. Broadly speaking, policies that improve market conditions, reduce burdens (regulatory and economic), and increase economic sustainability for forest landowners would help protect Florida's existing forests and the benefits they provide, and would encourage investment in reforestation of existing forestland and planting new forests on previously unforested land.
