Habitat and Open Space at Risk of Land‐Use Conversion: Targeting Strategies for Land Conservation
提出一种土地保护瞄准策略，综合考虑土地成本和开发风险，通过空间模型和模拟比较，发现成本与风险的正相关影响保护效率，对加州索诺玛县数据进行了验证。
Funds available to purchase land and easements for conservation purposes are limited. This article provides a targeting strategy for protecting multiple environmental benefits that includes heterogeneity in land costs and probability of land‐use conversion, by incorporating spatially explicit land‐use change and hedonic price models. This strategy is compared to two alternative strategies that omit either land cost or conversion threat. Based on dynamic programming and Monte Carlo simulations with alternating periods of conservation and development, we demonstrate that the positive correlation between land costs and probability of land‐use conversion affects targeting efficiency using parcel data from Sonoma County, California.
