The Different Dimensions of Livelihood Impacts of Payments for Environmental Services (PES) Schemes: A Systematic Review (2018, background): “When opportunity costs are low and more profitable landuse alternatives are lacking, enrollment is more likely even despite low payment rates (Arriagada et al., 2009).”
Show Me the Money: Do Payments Supply Environmental Services in Developing Countries? (2010, background): “For example, participants in Sarapiquı́ report that they actively protect the forest by maintaining trails, guarding contract areas, and fencing the forest (Arriagada et al. 2009).”
Effects of Payment for Environmental Services (PES) on Deforestation and Poverty in Low and Middle Income Countries: A Systematic Review (2014, background): “Hope for a win-win is rooted further in the idea that property rights to forest areas are ‘often the only capital of the poor who have no money or political voice’ (Arriagada et al., 2009: 344), and that PES programs allow for the conversion of such property to income.”
Smallholder farmers' motivations for using Conservation Agriculture and the roles of yield, labour and soil fertility in decision making (2016, methodology): “Sequential mixed-methods are widely used in agricultural research to shed light on often complex phenomena, such as farmers’ behaviour (e.g. Arriagada et al., 2009).”
Market mechanism or subsidy in disguise? Governing payment for environmental services in Costa Rica (2012, background): “…that compensation offered by PSA is often not enough to cover the full opportunity costs of alternative land use, producing a bias towards both landowners who do not depend on payments for their livelihood and the protection of less-productive land (Zbinden and Lee, 2005; Arriagada et al., 2009).”
