Ecosystem Services and Opportunity Costs Shift Spatial Priorities for Conserving Forest Biodiversity
Inclusion of spatially explicit information on ecosystem services in conservation planning is a fairly new practice. This study analyses how the incorporation of ecosystem services as conservation features can affect conservation of forest biodiversity and how different opportunity cost constraints can change spatial priorities for conservation. We created spatially explicit cost-effective cons...
متن کاملIdentifying spatial priorities for protecting ecosystem services
Priorities for protecting ecosystem services must be identified to ensure future human well-being. Approaches to broad-scale spatial prioritization of ecosystem services are becoming increasingly popular and are a vital precursor to identifying locations where further detailed analyses of the management of ecosystem services is required (e.g., examining trade-offs among management actions). Pri...
متن کاملRegional Scale Prioritisation for Key Ecosystem Services, Renewable Energy Production and Urban Development
Although the importance of addressing ecosystem service benefits in regional land use planning and decision-making is evident, substantial practical challenges remain. In particular, methods to identify priority areas for the provision of key ecosystem services and other environmental services (benefits from the environment not directly linked to the function of ecosystems) need to be developed...
متن کاملHeuristic optimisation
1. The computational complexity of many problems means that optimal solutions are unlikely to be found in reasonable time in larger instances. 2. Problems may be ill-defined or data imprecise, so that an optimal solution based on estimated data will almost certainly not be optimal for the actual data. In such a situation it is preferable to obtain a robust solution that will be near-optimal ove...
متن کاملActivity-Conserving Dynamics for Optimisation Networks
A novel type of dynamics conserving activity in neural networks is presented. We distinguish stochastic and deterministic activity-conserving dynamics. As an example, deterministic (mean-eld) activity-conserving dynamics is applied to the N-queens problem. The new dynamics are more succesful in nding valid solutions than the standard dynamics.
