Choosing efficient land allocations and forest management regimes for biodiversity

Creator:

Shunk, Neal J.

Abstract:

Increasing rates of species imperilment and the loss of biological diversity in naturally functioning ecosystems can be directly linked to accelerated urban development and the conversion of natural habitats to satisfy the needs of man. In combating this loss of biodiversity, scientists and policy makers alike recognize the relevance of...

Population viability analysis of endangered plant species : an evaluation of stochastic methods and an application to a rare prairie plant

Creator:

Kaye, Thomas N.

Abstract:

Transition matrix models are one of the most widely used tools for assessing population viability. The technique allows inclusion of environmental variability, thereby permitting estimation of probabilistic events, such as extinction. However, few studies use the technique to compare the effects of management treatments on population viability, and fewer still...
