Abstract
A mechanism of payment for ecosystem services (PES) to implement
landscape value trade may partly address the visual disturbance
caused by wind turbines by encouraging forest owners to change
their forest management practices near housing areas close to
wind farms. Here, we analyze the feasibility of implementing this
mechanism in the case of landscape shields reducing the visual
impacts of wind power using previous results and data on citizen
and forest owner preferences. We evaluate the feasibility at various
spatial scales. The results demonstrate that at the county level,
willingness to pay (WTP) exceeds willingness to accept (WTA)
compensation. Finally, if a PES mechanism is site-specific, its
feasibility depends on how the demand for and supply of the
service meet at the narrowest geographical level. In our study, the
probability of agreement was low at the wind farm level (2%) but
higher at the landscape shield level (41%).
