摘要
The spatial dimension of PES programs has not been well recognized. This study aims to reveal the spatial characteristics of degraded or deforested land, using west China as an example, and elucidate how best to design and implement restoration efforts in order to improve the ecosystem conditions and functions. Using satellite imagery and geospatial tools, we first showed, among other things, how the land tracts are tiny and fragmented and how variable the slope steepness and ownership pattern are in the Wugucheng watershed. Then, we addressed the questions of why landscape planning and implementation of restoration practices is needed and how landscape planning and implementation can go hand in hand with market-based mechanisms of restoration contracts bidding and local voluntary participation.
