支付生态系统服务费用有可能为土地所有者带来经济利益，以换取积极的森林管理。考虑到他们对非木材的关注，这种付款对那些没有参加典型林业项目的所有者可能特别有吸引力。为了进行调查，我们调查了威斯康星州的“非参与”土地所有者，以评估他们对可能的生态系统服务付款的兴趣。我们的设计通过实验比较了生态系统服务类型(碳储存、水和野生动物)和项目赞助(政府和市场)对土地所有者利益的影响。我们还测试了增加计划需求(无需求、书面计划、必需的实践和必需的检查)的效果。调查结果表明，42%的人在没有要求的情况下有一些兴趣。这一比例降至18%，要求类似于实际支付方式。根据“现实世界”的要求，在今后的决策中对林农的依赖和森林收入的重要性是重要的解释因素。研究结果表明，项目要求是塑造土地所有者意愿的关键。
Payments for ecosystem services offer the potential to financially benefit landowners in exchange for active forest management. Given their nontimber focus, such payments might be particularly attractive to those owners who do not participate in typical forestry programs. To investigate, we surveyed “nonparticipating” Wisconsin landowners to assess their interest in possible payments for ecosystem services. Our design experimentally compared the effects of ecosystem service type (carbon storage, water, and wildlife) and program sponsorship (government and market) on landowner interest. We also tested the effects of increasing program requirements (no requirements, written plan, required practices, and required inspections). Findings indicate that 42% had some interest under no requirements. This portion dropped to 18% with requirements that resemble how payments might work in practice. Under “real-world” requirements, reliance on a forester in future decisions and the importance of a forest-based income were significant explanatory factors. Findings suggest that program requirements are key in shaping landowner willingness.
