生态系统服务付费（PES）旨在保护重要的生态系统和相关的生态系统服务，同时通过直接支付资源使用者改变其土地和资源使用行为来增加（或维持）人类福祉。为了增加对生态补偿制度的社会经济方面的理解，本研究收集了来自家庭的数据，以确定可能影响中国村民在同时参与另一个生态补偿制度--森林生态效益补偿基金--的背景下，决定将土地纳入生态补偿制度--退耕还林绿色计划（GTGP）的变量。以前的研究确定了相关变量的基线，我们将其用作控制变量。其次，我们探讨如何假设参与后的土地利用方案可能会促进或阻止GTGP的参与。除了支持以前的研究结果控制变量的作用，我们的结果通过回归分析表明GTGP注册和FEBC参与之间的负相关关系。我们发现，村民认为退休的土地从作物种植生态树木，通过GTGP是不可取的，在目前的补偿方案。本研究通过探索PES在并行PES项目中的潜在机制，为PES的有效性提供了新的认识，为政策的推广提供了依据，并为PES在中国和全球的设计和实施提供了借鉴。
Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) seek to protect important ecosystems and related ecosystem services while increasing (or maintaining) human wellbeing by paying resource users directly to change their land and resource use behavior. To increase understanding of socio-economic aspects of PES, this study collected data from households to identify variables that may influence Chinese villagers’ decisions to enroll land in a PES program, the Grain-to-Green Program (GTGP), in the context of simultaneous participation in another PES, the Forest Ecological Benefit Compensation Fund (FEBC). Previous studies identified a baseline of relevant variables, which we use as control variables. Secondary to this, we explore how hypothetical post-participation land use options might promote or deter GTGP participation. In addition to supporting previous findings regarding the role of control variables, our results generated through regression analysis suggest a negative relationship between GTGP enrollment and FEBC participation. We find that villagers view retiring land from crops to plant ecological trees through GTGP as undesirable under current compensation scenarios. Through exploring latent mechanisms underlying PES enrollment in concurrent PES programs, this research provides new insight about PES effectiveness, as well as bases for policy extension, with lessons for design and implementation of PES in China and globally.
