Beyond carbon: Conceptualizing payments for ecosystem services in blue forests on carbon and other marine and coastal ecosystem services (2013, background): “In practice, bundling and stacking of payments have been difficult to implement because of the larger number of stakeholders involved or the ability to separately quantify improvements in each of the services, and few successful examples exist [e.g., Asquith et al., 2008].”
The history of ecosystem services in economic theory and practice: From early notions to markets and payment schemes (2010, background): “Examples are price-based incentives developed as part of agricultural policy in the European Community (to improve environmental quality and biodi- Table 2 Mechanism Commodified ecosystem service Sites of application Reference Markets for Ecosystem Services Emission trading of greenhouse gases (atmo”
Evaluating the outcomes of payments for ecosystem services programmes using a capital asset framework (2014, background): “Bolivia's Los Negros programme is a case in point: the programme's criteria automatically excluded the poorest landless immigrants living within the PES implementation zone (Aquith et al., 2008).”

When payments for environmental services will work for conservation (2013, background): “and excluding impious motives, such as frequent provider fears that service users would abuse PES contracts to expropriate their lands (Asquith et al. 2008; Rosa et al. 2003).”
Fairly efficient, efficiently fair: Lessons from designing and testing payment schemes for ecosystem services in Asia (2015, background): “Case studies in Latin America showed that social values beyond financial payments induced participation in PES (Kosoy et al., 2007) and the monetisation of ecosystem services were mostly rejected by the PES recipients (Asquith et al., 2008).”
The Devil in the Detail: A Practical Guide on Designing Payments for Environmental Services (2016, background): “In what follows I will focus 5For example, Asquith et al. (2008) describe how the fact that a PES program in Bolivia was co-financed by an international NGO interested in biodiversity conservation led to a low willingness of a downstream irrigators association to contribute funds. primarily on PES…”

Precisely incorrect? Monetising the value of ecosystem services § (2010, background): “in-kind payments (Asquith et al., 2008). In any case, the level of transfers is set according to effectiveness (not economic efficiency) criteria: they must make a difference, triggering change in institutional routines and individual habits and behaviour. The difference between both is excellently ”
Creating win-wins from trade-offs? Ecosystem services for human well-being: A meta-analysis of ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies in the real world (2014, background): “trade-off between upstream and downstream users (Asquith et al., 2008; Barbier, 2011), with changes induced by agriculture upstream affecting downstream water quality and quantity (Gordon et al.”
Mainstreaming Impact Evaluation in Nature Conservation (2016, background): “For example, incentive based contracts are being randomly allocated in the mountains of Bolivia (Asquith et al. 2008; Jones 2012) and Uganda (Hatanga 2014).”
Payments for environmental services as neoliberal market-based forest conservation in Vietnam: Panacea or problem? (2012, background): “While some early PES schemes have shown some promising conservation outcomes (Asquith et al., 2008; Morse et al., 2009; Clements et al., 2010), these have not been without costs or concerns about equity.”
