摘要

生物炭被认为是一种环保的盆栽混合成分，因为它可以隔离碳，而且它的生物量可以从可再生资源中获得。如果生物质来自不受欢迎的东部红杉(Juniperus virginia)，那么它有额外的好处，有助于减少其传播和保护自然栖息地。如果消费者认识到这种好处，那么他们可能愿意为用东部红杉生物炭制成的盆栽混合物支付溢价。这项研究使用了对盆栽混合客户的互联网调查来衡量这种潜在溢价的大小。结果显示，消费者愿意为含有20%东部红杉生物炭的盆栽混合物多支付2.42美元/平方英尺(按重量计算)。对于那些知道东部红杉的杂草性质的受访者来说，这种溢价甚至更大。

Willingness to Pay for Potting Mix Containing Eastern Redcedar Biochar under Alternative Information Sets

Biochar is considered an environmentally friendly potting mix ingredient because it sequesters carbon, and its biomass can be obtained from renewable resources. If the biomass is obtained from the undesirable eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), then it has the additional benefit of helping to curtail its spread and protect natural habitats. If consumers recognize this benefit, then they may be willing to pay a premium for potting mix made from eastern redcedar biochar. This study used an internet survey of potting mix customers to measure the size of this potential premium. The results showed that consumers were willing to pay $2.42/ft3 more for potting mix containing 20% eastern redcedar biochar (by weight). This premium was even larger for respondents who were aware of the weedy nature of eastern redcedar.
