中国的退耕还林计划(SLCP)向数以百万计的农民支付费用，让他们在上游流域退耕还林。它被认为是世界上最大的生态系统服务支付(PES)计划之一，因为它依赖于经济激励。本文以云南省杨柳流域为例，对流域可持续土地利用规划的实施效果进行了研究。它侧重于国家政策中嵌入的、村民和地方政府官员持有的正义观念，以了解在人民参与执行《可持续土地利用战略》、土地利用变化和生计影响方面所观察到的结果。村民、地方政府官员和国家政策都对分配正义有着共同的主要关切，尽管他们在具体概念上存在重大差异。村民们对SLCP的积极反应是共同的担忧，除了其他因素外，这导致了自2003年以来杨柳打算扩大树木种植园和生计过渡。杨柳的见解表明，有必要考虑正义，以便更全面地了解SLCP和世界各地其他PES计划的动态和结果，因为除了目前研究中考虑的其他因素外，相关行为者应用的正义概念可能还会影响土地利用和生计动态。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
China's Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) pays millions of farmers to convert cropland in upper watersheds to tree plantations. It is considered one of the world's largest payments for ecosystem services (PES) scheme for its reliance on financial incentives. This paper examines the outcomes of the SLCP by way of a case study from the Yangliu watershed in Yunnan province. It focuses on the notions of justice embedded in state policy and held by villagers and local state officials in order to understand the observed outcomes in terms of people's participation in the implementation of the SLCP, land use changes and livelihood effects. Villagers, local state officials, and state policy share a primary concern about distributive justice despite significant differences in their specific notions. The shared concern underlies the villagers' positive reactions to the SLCP, which among other factors, have led to the intended expansion of tree plantations and a livelihood transition in Yangliu since 2003. The insights from Yangliu suggest the need to consider justice for a fuller understanding of the dynamics and outcomes of the SLCP and other PES schemes worldwide as the notions of justice applied by the involved actors may influence land use and livelihood dynamics in addition to the other factors considered in research this far.
