Reconnecting stranded public lands is a win-win for conservation and people

چکیده
The spatial distribution of many public lands in the western U.S. is an artifact 19th century land-disposal policies. While this legacy sometimes impediment to conservation, it may also provide novel opportunities spatially reorganize conservation within realistic budget constraints. Here we seek understand potential strategically rearranging inaccessible (“stranded”) land Montana, US. We use reserve network design and consider coarse- fine-filter features—land cover types predicted habitat for 12 umbrella species, respectively—and incorporate connectivity corridors into one scenario. All designs are constrained by a equal current value stranded parcels meet or exceed extent currently provided with respect type species habitat. find that each simulation expands total protected area Montana constraint. Two maximum coverage scenarios, which exhaust budget, result substantially targets. landscape benefits. Our results illustrate notable practical develop networks US account benefit both private landowners biodiversity efforts through trades acquisitions.

Payment for ecosystem services programs are being implemented in a wide variety of settings, but whether and in what contexts such programs present ‘win–win’ scenarios that simultaneously improve human wellbeing and achieve conservation goals remains poorly understood. Based on semi-structured interviews with early program participants enrolling either collectivelyor individually-held land, we ...

We study provably effective and efficient data reduction for a class of NP-hard graph modification problems based on vertex degree properties. We show fixed-parameter tractability for NP-hard graph completion (that is, edge addition) cases while we show that there is no hope to achieve analogous results for the corresponding vertex or edge deletion versions. Our algorithms are based on transfor...
