Abstract

Due to numerous inter-linkages in natural ecosystems, the development of an ecosystem credit market that provides one ecosystem service may significantly change the level of provision of other ecosystem services. In this paper, the authors consider the possible water quality consequences of a carbon trading policy that allows farmers to receive carbon credits from retiring their land from agricultural production.
