Notions of Justice in Payments for Ecosystem Services:Insights from China’s Sloping Land Conversion Program in Yunnan Province (2015, methodology): “17 followed a similar top-down approach (Xu et al., 2004; Weyerhaeuser et al., 2005; Bennett, 2008; Yeh, 2009; Yi and Yi, 2010; He 2014).”
Contesting the market-based nature of Mexico’s national payments for ecosystem services programs: Four sites of articulation and hybridization (2013, background): “The Mexican national PES program is amongst the largest in the world along with the Conservation Reserve Program in the United States, the national PES program of Costa Rica and the Sloping Land Conversion Program of China (Sanchez Azofeifa et al., 2007; Bennett, 2008).”
China’s conversion of cropland to forest program: a systematic review of the environmental and socioeconomic effects (2016, unknown): “[25, 33] relies on reported survival as a dependent variable upon which to base analyses of institutional efficacy and associated behavior vis-à-vis tree planting and subsequent care.”
Meta-analysis of institutional-economic factors explaining the environmental performance of payments for watershed services (2011, background): “An example is the Sloping Land Conservation Programme in China, where households in certain parts of the country did not have full autonomy in participation (Bennett 2008).”
The Effectiveness of Payments for Environmental Services (2017, unknown): “Well-studied examples of PES programs include the Costa Rican and Mexican national programs for forest protection (Alix-Garcia, Shapiro, & Sims, 2012; Pagiola, 2008), agrienvironmental policies in the USA and the EU (Baylis, Peplow, Rausser, & Simon, 2008), and the Chinese Sloping Land Conversion Pr”
Impacts of large‐scale forest restoration on socioeconomic status and local livelihoods: what we know and do not know (2016, background): “The use of land declivity thresholds to determine household participation in restoration programs resulted in some being left with no farming area (usually the poorer ones), creating inequalities among neighbors (Bennett 2008, Bullock & King 2011).”
Problematizing REDD+ as an experiment in payments for ecosystem services (2012, background): “Farmers challenged such request on the grounds of the additional labor required and the government subsequently downgraded it to become an optional requirement [66].”
Property Rights Regimes and Natural Resources: A Conceptual Analysis Revisited (2017, unknown): “…payments and other kinds of external support is entering policy in many countries as natural resource degradation diminishes the available direct beneﬁts, and increasingly aﬄuent societies attribute rising importance to non-productive uses of natural resources (e.g., Bennett, 2008; McElwee, 2011).”
A Revised Conceptual Framework for Payments for Environmental Services (2009, background): “In contrast, the same article considered China’s “Sloping Lands Conversion Program” to be a PES program, despite participation frequently being involuntary (Bennett 2008, Wunder et al. 2008).”
Payments for ecosystem services: A review and comparison of developing and industrialized countries (2013, background): “The overall goal is to further reduce soil and water erosions (desertification) (Bennett, 2008) as well as to alleviate rural poverty in China’s most vulnerable regions (Gauvin et al.”
The Role of Forest-Related Income in Household Economies and Rural Livelihoods in the Border-Region of Southern China (2013, background): “Much of the literature that is accessible to the international audience is limited in focus to measuring the impacts of specific forest-related policies and projects on livelihoods (e.g., ADB, 2008; Bennett, 2008; Liu, Jinzhi, & Runsheng, 2010; Uchida, Xu, Xu, & Rozelle, 2007; World Bank, 2005; Xie ”
Global land governance: from territory to flow? (2013, background): “Research now recognizes that PES typically require the involvement of states for their territorial powers, whether it takes the form of large-scale programs such as China’s Sloping Land Conversion Program [41] or small-scale projects [42].”
