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... |

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... |

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... |

Conceptual development in the theory of externalities have opened up several policy options for their internalization including payment towards environmental services. Hence as externalities are social costs, accountability is crucial in increasing environmental awareness and for collective action through education and extension more so in developing countries. Here a modest attempt has been made to estimate externalities in water, forests and environment with field data from peninsular India to reflect on the economic perception of externalities by farmers and users of environment for the consideration of policy makers to devise institutions for payment towards environmental services. The methodology largely used here in estimation / valuation of... |

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... |

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... |

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... |
