      abstract = {Forest externalities represent today an emerging source of  income. Carbon sequestration, biodiversity
maintenance and  recreation activities in mountain woodland areas are three  forest services
that have been a core issue in the recent  political framework. However, the stiff legislative
system  and unclear property rights have been two mayor themes that  have inhibited the implementation
of payment for  environmental service (PES), especially in the Italian  civil law system.
The paper shows the potential willingness  to pay (WTP) of forest externalities generated in
the in  the Eastern Alps, for Veneto’s dwellers: basic information  to develop any market-based
mechanism to stimulate the  commercialization of forest services. Using choice  experiment approach,
an estimation of marginal values has  been assessed for each service. The results report
the  trade-off effect among the different use of forest  externalities. Higher WTP was found on
direct use-value  services by sub-grouping the sample on target  socio-demographic categories.
Unfamiliar externalities,  like biodiversity, have had irrelevant role compare to the  other forest
services. Finally, based on these findings a  specific PES scheme on target externalities has  been
drafted for the alpine context.},
