Addressing Risk and Uncertainty in Planning Ecological Restoration Projects

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Corps of Engineers planners have been required to consider risk and uncertainty since the Principles and Standards Act of 1972. The Actions for Change are increasing the Corps of Engineers’ reliance on risk-informed analysis and decision making. An informal review of the Corps’ experience with ecosystem restoration plans has shown few, if any, systematic efforts to address the often significant uncertainties encountered in estimating and quantifying environmental benefits. Better evaluation of these uncertainties and consequent project risks will improve the quality of ecosystem restoration planning efforts.

متن کاملAssessing Landscape Ecological Risk in a Mining City: A Case Study in Liaoyuan City, China
Landscape ecological risk assessment can effectively identify key elements for landscape sustainability, which directly improves human wellbeing. However, previous research has tended to apply risk probability, measured by overlaying landscape metrics to evaluate risk, generally lacking a quantitative assessment of loss and uncertainty of risk. This study, taking Liaoyuan City as a case area, e...
