Monitoring Land Use Land-use decisions are based largely on agricultural market values. However, such can lead to losses of ecosystem services, as the provision wildlife habitat or recreational space, magnitude which may overwhelm any benefits. In a research project forming part UK National Ecosystem Assessment, Bateman et al. (p. 45 ) estimate value these net losses. Policies that recognize diversity and complexity natural environment target changes different areas so radically improve land...
One of Georgina Mace’s many transformational research contributions was to provide a universally applicable framework for incorporating any or all elements and connections the natural environment within conventional economic decision-making. We apply this capital consider overall effects suite land-use policy options intended promote conservation renewal biodiversity. Options considered include sharing, sparing, three-compartment rewilding organic farming regimes. Each is assessed in terms...
Abstract The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in unprecedented restrictions on citizen’s freedom of movement as governments moved to institute lockdowns designed reduce the spread virus. While most out-of-home leisure activities were prohibited, England lockdown rules allowed for restricted use outdoor greenspace purposes exercise and recreation. In this paper, we data recorded by Google from location-enabled mobile devices coupled with a detailed recreation demand model explore welfare impacts...
To meet decarbonization targets, nations around the globe have made ambitious commitments to expand forested land. Operationalizing these requires choosing a planting strategy: How many trees should be planted, of which species, and where? Given those choices must now but long-term consequences, such decisions are plagued by uncertainty. For example, species that well suited present conditions may perform poorly under future climates, yet climates themselves highly uncertain. Using exemplar...
Annual revenue flow to developing countries for ecotourism (or nature-based tourism) could be as large US$ 210×1012, providing an enormous financial incentive against habitat loss and exploitation. However, is the most privately and/or socially valuable use of rainforest land? The question rarely answered because relevant data, estimates profits fixed costs, are available. We present a social cost-benefit analysis land in cluster Tambopata region Amazonian Peru. net value...
Abstract As storm-driven coastal flooding increases under climate change, wetlands such as saltmarshes are held a nature-based solution. Yet evidence supporting wetlands’ storm protection role in estuaries—where both waves and upstream surge drive flooding—remains scarce. Here we address this gap using numerical hydrodynamic models within eight contextually diverse estuaries, simulating storms of varying intensity coupling flood predictions to damage valuation. Saltmarshes reduced across all...
By embedding a spatially explicit ecosystem services modelling tool within policy simulator we examine the insights that natural capital analysis can bring to design of policies for nature recovery. Our study is illustrated through case example incentivising establishment new habitat in England. We find mirroring current practice offering payments per hectare creation fails break even, delivering less value improved flows than public money spent and only 26% which theoretically achievable....
Abstract This paper describes how a standard GIS package can be used to convert large-scale vector digital data (point, line and annotation features) into polygons using standardised replicable methods. Building area, garden land use are all derived from such (Ordnance Survey LandLine.Plus). These entities then combined with further sources of derive more refined information as property types. Finally, complex DEMs developed for in visibility studies. The variables calculated subsequently...
Abstract Implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) represents a fundamental change in management water Europe with requirement that member states ensure ‘good ecological status’ for all bodies by 2015. Agriculture is expected to bear major share WFD implementation costs as it compelled reduce emission diffuse pollutants. The research outlined here comprises interdisciplinary modelling agricultural land use, hydrology and consequent quality effects consider both non‐market...
SUMMARY Annual revenue flow to developing countries for ecotourism could be as large US$ 29 billion, providing an enormous financial incentive against habitat loss and exploitation. However, surprisingly little quantitative evidence exists on the profitability of rainforest sector, which determines capacity sector engage in conservation. A Peruvian cluster generated 11.6 million 2005. The after-tax profit margin was at least 14% has increased with tourist volume. High profitability, coupled...
Abstract The spatial distribution and growth of human populations have been overlooked by current debates concerning the impact rural–urban migration for forest conservation in tropical countries. We investigated settlement population change Brazilian Amazon, combining government census data with field surveys along rivers. Rural were clustered growing within 300 km urban centers, whereas depopulation land abandonment dominated farther from towns. permanently inhabited extent rivers...
