Rural household's willingness to pay for irrigation water use: An application of contingent valuation method, in the case of North Shewa zone, Ethiopia

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 943-959, November 2023., 2023
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate household's willingness to pay (WTOP) for irrigation water use (IWU) per timad (0.25 ha) of the irrigable land per year and to analyze determinants of WTOP for IWU at individual households based on the contingent valuation method (CVM).

Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree species to ...
