Perceptions and Values for Preventing Ecosystem Change: Pennsylvania Duck Hunters and the Prairie Pothole Region
研究通过调查宾夕法尼亚州猎鸭者，了解他们对大草原坑洞地区生态系统变化的认知和支付意愿，并开发了处理情景拒绝的方法。
<i>Diverse actions and events, ranging from agricultural development to global climate change, have the potential to affect the dynamics within distinct ecosystems. Resource management decisions require information about how people perceive ecosystem impacts and their willingness to pay to prevent or mitigate ecosystem impacts. This study explores the usefulness of a survey approach for gathering such information, especially for ecosystem impacts from climate change. Values for reducing impacts on the Prairie Pothole Region are elicited from Pennsylvania duck hunters. Factor analysis is used to develop a method for examining and accounting for potential scenario rejection.</i>
