中文摘要

CrosstimberCT)地区横跨堪萨斯州南部,经俄克拉荷马州中部直至德克萨斯州,是一片重要的森林覆盖区,数百万居民居住在塔尔萨、俄克拉荷马城和达拉斯都会区等城市中心。该地区占地近2700万英亩,适合畜牧业,在农业和休闲娱乐方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,在生态系统服务的积极管理方面,大部分土地仍未得到充分利用。本研究采用一种新颖的调查方法——双界最佳-最差选择法(DBBWC),结合了最佳-最差缩放法和双界条件价值评估法,评估了土地所有者对可持续森林管理的偏好。结果显示,土地所有者最优先考虑的森林管理措施是每年每英亩110美元的补偿、每年每英亩80美元的补偿和低强度间伐。相比之下,每年一次的处方烧荒被评为最不受欢迎。此外,土地所有者每年实施规定烧荒的接受补偿意愿(WTA)为每英亩96.77美元,而高强度间伐的WTA35.86美元。这些发现为了解土地所有者的森林管理偏好提供了宝贵的见解,并揭示了经济激励措施如何影响生态系统服务提供的决策。该研究结果与政策制定相关,特别是对美国林务局土地管理计划和更广泛的国家森林管理战略。

英文摘要

The Cross-Timbers (CT) region, spanning southern Kansas through central Oklahoma into Texas, is a vital forested area with millions of residents in urban centers like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and the Dallas Metroplex. Covering nearly 27 million acres suitable for livestock, this region plays a critical role in agriculture and recreation. However, much of the land remains underutilized in terms of active management for ecosystem services. This study evaluates landowners' preferences for sustainable forest management using a novel survey method, Double-Bounded Best-Worst Choice (DBBWC), which combines Best-Worst Scaling with Double-Bound Contingent Valuation. The results reveal that landowners prioritize compensation of $110 per ha acre per year, compensation of $80 per ha acre per year, and low-intensity thinning as the most preferred forest management practices. In contrast, prescribed burning once a year was ranked least favorable. Additionally, landowners' willingness to accept (WTA) compensation for implementing prescribed burning annually was $96.77 per acre, while for high-intensity thinning, the WTA was $35.86. These findings provide valuable insights into landowners' preferences for forest management and suggest how financial incentives could influence decisions about ecosystem service provision. The study's results are relevant for policy development, particularly for U.S. Forest Service Land Management Plans and broader National Forest Management strategies.
