Model-Based Valuation of Ecosystem Services Using Bio-Economic Farm Models: Insights for Designing Green Tax Policies and Payment for Ecosystem Services by Seyed-Ali Hosseini-Yekani, Stefan Tomaczewski, Peter Zander

“…This study leverages the redesigned version of the bio-economic farm model MODAM (Multi-Objective Decision Support Tool for Agro-Ecosystem Management) to estimate the shadow prices of ESs, enabling the derivation of demand and supply curves for nitrate leaching and soil erosion control, respectively. Two hypothetical farms in Brandenburg, Germany—a smaller, arable farm in Märkisch-Oderland and a larger, diversified farm with livestock in Oder-Spree—are analyzed to explore the heterogeneity in shadow prices and corresponding cropping patterns. …”

Quantitative Assessment of Soil and Water Loss in the Nanpan and Beipan River Basins Based on CSLE Model by LIU Xiaolin, SHI Yandong, ZENG Xiaolei, HUANG Hairong, YIN Bin

“…The quantitative assessment of soil and water loss can provide a scientific basis for preventing and controlling soil and water loss disasters and implementing ecological environmental construction.Based on the spatial analysis and data management functionalities on the ArcGIS platform with multisource remote sensing imagery used as the information source,the data of land use,vegetation cover,and terrain slope in the Nanpan River and Beipan River basins were obtained.The soil erosion modulus was calculated by employing China soil loss equation (CSLE),yielding monitoring results for soil and water loss in the Nanpan River and Beipan River basins.The results show that in 2021, the total area affected by soil and water loss in the Nanpan River and Beipan River basins was 23 966.97 km²,primarily characterized by mild erosion intensity.Soil and water loss in the northeast part of the basins was more severe than that in the southwest part.The phenomenon mainly occurred in arable land,woodland,and grassland,accounting for over 90% of the total soil and water loss area,with vegetation cover at all levels showing a prevalence of mild and moderate erosion.Soil and water loss in the entire region mainly occurred in slope grades ranging from 6° to 35°.In general,the issue of soil and water loss remains prominent in specific regions of the Nanpan and Beipan River basins.It is necessary to adopt a combined approach of prevention and remediation to address this issue and improve the overall situation.…”

Perception et gestion de l’érosion et des ressources en eau par les agriculteurs et les éleveurs du bassin versant de l’ibicuí (RS, Brésil) by Guillaume Leturcq, François Laurent, Rosa Vieira Medeiros

“…The aim is to better understand their perception and management of the environment and to identify the social variables of the differences in behaviour.The results show that few farmers perceive their responsibilities in the soil erosion and the problems of water resources. So risks of lack of water are perceived by some of them, they are reduced primarily to the dryness and the overexploitation of the resources is not considered. …”
