  • More about An Integrated Modelling Approach to Design Cost-Effective AES for Agricultural Soil Erosion and Water Pollution: An Application of a Real Watershed in China

Agri-environment schemes (AES) are designed to optimize cost-effectiveness, but models often adopt a planning perspective. This book presents a spatially explicit novel integrated modelling approach that addresses this shortcoming by combining several components. The approach is demonstrated in the Baishahe watershed in Shanxi province in China, showing that it is robust to design cost-effective AES.

Agri-environment schemes (AES) are frequently adopted for tricky environmental issues, with cost-effectiveness being a key concern. For issues of cost-effective prevention of agricultural soil erosion and non-point source water pollution, models that assess both environmental effects and economic costs of land use measures have been developed, but they typically adopt a planning perspective instead of designing AES with the role of farmers being considered. This book presents a spatially explicit novel integrated modelling approach that addresses the shortcoming by combining several components. The relevance of the modelling approach is demonstrated in this book by applying it to the Baishahe watershed in Shanxi province in China. The results show that the modelling approach is robust to design cost-effective AES, i.e. under given budget the maximum environmental effect in the study region could be attained with a set of designed payments for measures in AES. The developed modelling approach is generic and powerful for application in all kinds of agricultural watersheds with various sizes.
