社会、生物物理和体制背景会影响森林使用者吗？鼓励共同努力恢复森林。随着政府再次承诺支持此类活动，我们认为有效的干预需要考虑几个具体情况的因素？比如用户组？未来的贴现率、机会成本和集体行动能力？因为这些因素将有助于确定此类干预措施的有效性。为了测试一系列背景因素的影响，我们分析了来自八个发展中国家133个森林的184个不同群体的观察结果。我们发现，某些有利因素的结合增加了用户开展森林改良活动的可能性，社会背景可以制约体制和生物物理背景的影响。我们的研究结果对发展中国家恢复森林的未来干预措施的设计和实施具有影响。
Social, biophysical, and institutional contexts affect forest users? incentives to work together to restore forests. With renewed government commitments to support such activities, we argue that effective interventions need to consider several context-specific factors ? such as the user groups? future discount rates, opportunity costs, and collective-action capabilities ? because these factors will help determine the effectiveness of such interventions. To test the effects of a suite of contextual factors, we analyzed observations from 184 different groups in 133 forests across eight developing countries. We find that the combination of certain enabling factors increases the probability of users undertaking forest improvement activities, and that social contexts can condition the effect of institutional and biophysical contexts. Our findings carry implications for the design and implementation of future interventions to restore forests in developing countries.
