The Value of Forest Conservation for Water Quality Protection

Forests protect water quality by reducing soil erosion, sedimentation, and pollution; yet there is little information about the economic value of conserving forests for water quality protection in much of the United States. To assess this value, we conducted a meta-analysis of willingness-to-pay (WT...

To assess this value, we conducted a meta-analysis of willingness-to-pay (WTP) for protecting unimpaired waters, and econometrically determined several significant drivers of WTP: type of conservation instrument (tool), aquatic resource type, geographic context, spatial scale, time, and household income. Using a benefit transfer to two highly forested sites, we illustrate the importance of these factors on WTP for water quality protection programs, forest conservation and policy design.application/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.3390/f5050862ISSN: 1999-4907https://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/27108engMDPI journals884No. 5862ForestsVol. 5Forests, ISSN:1999-4907, Vol.5, No.5 (May, 2014); pp. 862-884https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4907/5/5/862Abierto (Texto Completo)http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Forestsinstname:Universidad del Rosarioreponame:Repositorio Institucional EdocURBenefit transferConservation easementEcosystem services and goodsForest conservation policiesWater qualityWillingness-to-payThe Value of Forest Conservation for Water Quality ProtectionEl valor de la conservación forestal para la protección de la calidad del aguaarticleArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Kreye, M.M.Adams, D.C.Escobedo, F.J.ORIGINALforests-05-00862.pdfapplication/pdf259148https://repository.urosario.edu.co/bitstreams/77ca9a07-e6b0-43ed-b2cf-9ebe277a09c2/download6ce16311d8701dc6f139a44b288c3446MD51TEXTforests-05-00862.pdf.txtforests-05-00862.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain66318https://repository.urosario.edu.co/bitstreams/9ea0ab82-060b-4969-baec-00ef78ce96f2/downloadfacd2fd5867118b48e664430d43e110fMD52THUMBNAILforests-05-00862.pdf.jpgforests-05-00862.pdf.jpgGenerated Thumbnailimage/jpeg4740https://repository.urosario.edu.co/bitstreams/22d74f5a-04cc-4a0c-b150-afa7794d374b/downloaddd47f099c57308637041c760c3916e2bMD5310336/27108oai:repository.urosario.edu.co:10336/271082022-05-02 07:37:21.885969https://repository.urosario.edu.coRepositorio institucional EdocURedocur@urosario.edu.co
