The Allocation Problem in Habitat Restoration

Abstract

This paper explores the question of how best to allocate habitat restoration effort over space and time. Stylized examples are used to illustrate how threshold effects, competition among projects, risk, learning, and the choice of restoration objective affect desirable effort allocations. The paper concludes with some thoughts on the applicability of decision modeling to the habitat restoration planning problem. (Click here for the paper)
