| Descripción: | The financial behavior of three schemes for payments for environmental services (PES) adjusted to the forest value (FV) was assessed, starting from a first forest harvest, which were classified into two types according to the dominance of Pentaclethra macroloba combined with palms (Forest Pp) or combined with Carapa guianensis (Forest Pc). In these forests, common production functions of sustainable forest management (SFM), and functions of profitability were elaborated for two conditions of harvesting during a cutting cycle. The result ofthese forest values shows that any current scheme for sustainable forest management and/or payments for environmental services can’t compete when compared to land values paid by the market with high demand and accumulation of land by highly profitable crops. Complementary, it was analyzed the compatibility between sustainable forest management and payments for environmental services with local farmer’s perceptions, which together with forest values explain their preferences for determined land uses. |
