Zones with Potential for the Payment of Environmental Services in the Valle del Mezquital, Hidalgo
The arid regions in Mexico are excluded from the benefits of the Payment for Environmental Services (PES) scheme of the National Forestry Commission, due to the low forest cover they have. The objective of the work is to carry out an identification at the regional level of those potential payment zo...
