在快速城市化过程中，由于土地需求量大，经济激励不足，利益相关者对耕地保护的动力不足。耕地的大量流失对粮食安全和生态可持续性构成严重威胁。本研究提出了一个生态系统服务支付框架，通过确定补偿对象、支付内容、支付金额、支付机制和服务提供的验证，来协调经济发展过程中的大量土地需求和农田保护需求。以长三角地区为例，论证了基于供需分析、薪酬质量与价值标准、薪酬监管的PES特征。结果表明，与传统的监管方法相比，这种PES框架在处理环境保护的外部性方面是有效的。该框架还将通过协调利益相关者的利益来帮助保护农田。
Due to large land demand and insufficient economic incentives, stakeholders have little motivation to protect cropland during rapid urbanization. The considerable loss of cropland poses a serious threat to food security and ecological sustainability. This research proposes a framework of payment for ecosystem services (PES) to reconcile the large land demand and the need for cropland protection during economic development by identifying whom to compensate, what to pay, how much to pay, the mechanisms for payment, and verification of service delivery. Using the Yangtze River Delta as an example, the features of the PES based on supply-demand analysis, compensation quality and value standards, and payment regulation are demonstrated. The results show the effectiveness of this PES framework for handling the externality of environmental protection compared to traditional regulatory approaches. The framework will also aid in the protection of cropland by coordinating the benefits of stakeholders.
