Market-based instruments for ecosystem services: framework and case study in Lishui City, China

Introduction: Effective provision of ecosystem services (ES) and improvements in well-being of residents can be realized through policy interventions of stakeholder behavior. Of the several policies, market-based instruments (MBIs) have become the focus of global attention. Outcomes/others: To coupl...
