Effective biodiversity conservation will require better landowner incentives for restoration and protection of ecosystems. Many services produced from healthy, functioning landscapes are not well recognized in current conservation incentive structures, including sequestering or storing carbon in trees and soil, providing fish and wildlife habitat, filtering water, and reducing damages from natural disasters. Most existing incentive programs pay landowners to protect and restore a specific service rather than the suite of services produced from well-functioning ecosystems. Various incentive programs need to be better integrated or new programs need to be developed that value a greater proportion of the ecological benefits that flow from ecosystems. One promising option is to allow landowners to bundle or stack payments for ecosystem services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larocco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505977010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505977011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.08d","brand":"Larocco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439517217023,"sku":"9781505977011","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbb3c27f-576b-47a9-8ad4-914d50c8234d.jpg?v=1777178108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giving-credit-where-credit-is-larocco-9781505977011","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
