Restoring Native Vegetation in an Agricultural Landscape: Spatial Optimization for Woodland Birds
研究开发了一个空间显式的生物经济模型，优化澳大利亚维多利亚州林地鸟类的栖息地恢复，发现跨物种优化比单物种优化能带来更大的生物多样性效益。
In heavily cleared agricultural landscapes, decline of biodiversity could be prevented by restoring native habitat. In this paper, we develop a spatially explicit bioeconomic model that optimizes ecological restoration of habitat for woodland-dependent birds in the Australian state of Victoria. Spatial optimization identifies strategies that would generate substantially greater environmental benefits than are likely to be achieved in current programs. Greater biodiversity outcomes can be expected where restoration is optimized across multiple species rather than just individual species, and if the program does not require an even distribution of restoration effort among farmers. <i></i>
