摘要: Abstract Identifying incentive priority areas could improve the sustainability of payment for ecosystem service (PES) schemes. However, lack systematic and rigorous assessing ecological effectiveness PES has resulted in some challenges to identify China. This study aimed assess China’s largest scheme, Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) identifying areas. Firstly, we used financial investments as substitution variable SLCP. And then maximum marginal method was adopted determine reasonable lag periods SLCP`s investments. Finally, panel fixed effect model (with regional dummy variable) also applied its different zones. We found that after implementation SLCP, vegetation improved significantly Shaanxi province. The average normalized differential index (NDVI) 0.831 2015, with an increasing rate 15.097% compared 2000, although it had degeneration between 2010 2015. It took about four years realize greatest performance benefits. overall efficiency showed a pattern "higher north, lower south" province because afforestation costs south were more expensive than north previous key SLCP zones been invested excessively, such Wuqi, Zhidan Ansai counties. Hence, government should invest higher based on if using current price system.
