| El ganado vacuno produce alimentos y otros bienes, junto con estiércol. Los escarabajos estercoleros al enterrar, desmenuzar y consumir el estiércol, limpian el pasto que será consumido por el ganado; reintegrando nutrientes al suelo, fertilizándolo y eliminando huevos de parásitos y moscas. En la zona ganadera de La Laguna, Veracruz, se midió la acción de los escarabajos en la descomposición del estiércol durante la temporada de lluvias del 2009, ahí se observaron tres especies abundantes de escarabajos durante la primera semana de exposición de las boñigas. Se comprobó mediante un modelo de regresión, que durante la temporada de lluvias, los escarabajos estercoleros reducen 80% del peso de las boñigas en 3 días, pero en su ausencia la misma pérdida de... |

| Although several institutional and management approaches that address the degradation of the rangelands have been tested in the dry areas of Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA), impact has been limited. Nonetheless, the development of National Action Plans to combat desertification highlights the interest of governments to tackle this issue. Payment for Environmental Services (PES) may be a viable policy option, though, to date, most PES programs have focused on the management of different resources (forests, watersheds). The purpose of this paper is to examine whether PES could be a viable option to promote sustainable rangelands management in the dry rangelands of CWANA. Specifically, it focuses on the scientific gaps and knowledge related to... |

| Abstract Human pressure on ecosystems has undesirable impacts on human well-being. After the Millennium Project, much interdisciplinary research has been developed worldwide aiming to understand these impacts on ecosystem flows and processes, and to learn about the costs and the benefits of ecosystem services for production. Soil provides many ecosystem services, since its multi-functionality is the basis for food production, water filtration, nutrient cycling, and other goods essential to life. This article presents the main concepts and classifications of soil ecosystem services and of its functions; the indicators and the methods for assessment, modeling, and valuation of ecosystem services; some recent applications to assess and evaluate impacts of... |

| This article evaluates the effectiveness of ex-post targeting of the direct payment program for mountain agriculture in Japan. A regression analysis explaining the entry into the program shows that the farm profitability and the production cost were significant positive and negative factor, respectively, in determining the uptake, while the efforts by local governments were a robust factor in facilitating the enrollment. These findings imply ineffective ex-post targeting and call for the differentiation of the premium, alternative incentives to promote forestation for the un-enrolled fields and additional funds targeted to those prefectures with the low uptake ratio. Lessons drawn from the Japanese experience for effective incentive measures in developing... |

| This paper presents a case study on the development and implementation of a decentralised and outcome-based agri-environmental payment scheme in a project region in central Germany. A research group from Goettingen University together with local actors designed the scheme which complies with the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy. The core of the programme is the creation of a market for ecological goods, in this case: of plant diversity standards in agriculture. Supply is provided by the local farmers, who, in an open competitive bidding, offer to produce as much as they are willing to of the commodity in question. The local population has to be seen as the beneficiary of these environmental goods. In the project, it is represented by a Regional... |

| Se realizó un estudio de mercado de los servicios ambientales hidrológicos (SAH) en la cuenca de Tapalpa, Jalisco, México, cuya superficie es de 21,000 ha, donde el 44% es de uso forestal. Para determinar la oferta hidrológica se utilizó el modelo hidrológico SWAT (soil and water assesment tool, herramienta de valoración de suelo y agua) que presentó un buen ajuste (R2 = 0.85) al ser calibrado con la producción de agua en una de las cinco subcuencas que integran el área de estudio. El análisis de demanda indica que existe un superávit del recurso hídrico (19,792,015 m3/año), ya que solamente se aprovecha el 54% (23,171,885 m3/ha) de la oferta total (42,963,900 m3/ha). De ésta, el 93% seutiliza en el sector agrícola, principalmente en la producción de... |

| For U.S. agriculture to continue along a sustainable path of economic development, further production increases must be generated by technologies that are both profitable and more environmentally benign. In this context, we assess the role of these green or sustainable technologies in steering agriculture along a more sustainable path. However, the lack of markets for the environmental attributes associated with green technologies can limit their development. In addition, simply making a technology available does not mean it will be adopted. Experience with green technologies such as conservation tillage, integrated pest management, enhanced nutrient management, and precision agriculture demonstrates that even when technologies are profitable, barriers to... |

| Although dryland farming and grazing have been practiced for over 130 years in the 17,000 ha Simmons Creek catchment without surface salinity problems, the area has been identified as a significant source of salt seepage to Billabong Creek in the NSW Murray catchment. Groundwater movement and salinity levels are spatially heterogenous at Simmons Creek. Groundwater of the upper catchment is relatively fresh and seemingly unconnected with the highly saline groundwater of the lower catchment. However, fresh surface water does flow from the upper to the lower catchment. This spatial diversity provokes the question of where high-water-use forest habitats might be placed to achieve different combinations of environmental services (greater water yield, lower... |

| Countries introduce private sector participation into the water and wastewater utilities sector for a number of reasons. The introduction of a profit motive may increase efficiency as compared to public management of the water system, and private firms have been noted for customer service improvements. Financial considerations, including revenues from the sale of assets and reductions in the direct cost of providing water services, may also motivate governments to introduce private sector participation in this industry. However, because water is a basic human necessity, the introduction of private participation in this industry sector may raise social, economic, and national security concerns. Private participation in the global water and wastewater... |
