متن کاملDetermining ecological equivalence in service-to-service scaling of salt marsh restoration.
The amount of ecological restoration required to mitigate or compensate for environmental injury or habitat loss is often based on the goal of achieving ecological equivalence. However, few tools are available for estimating the extent of restoration required to achieve habitat services equivalent to those that were lost. This paper describes habitat equivalency analysis (HEA), a habitat-based ...
متن کاملAn Automated Approach to Site Selection for Ecological Restoration in Fragmented Landscapes
Reducing fragmentation and increasing interior area of habitat patches are major goals of restoration programs. Most strategies to correct these issues are qualitative based on visual interpretation, rather than quantitative based on the spatial characteristics of patches. To circumvent this, we developed an approach that integrates domain knowledge into an objective and geometric analysis of t...
متن کاملSustainable exploitation and management of autogenic ecosystem engineers: application to oysters in Chesapeake Bay.
Autogenic ecosystem engineers are critically important parts of many marine and estuarine systems because of their substantial effect on ecosystem services. Oysters are of particular importance because of their capacity to modify coastal and estuarine habitats and the highly degraded status of their habitats worldwide. However, models to predict dynamics of ecosystem engineers have not previous...
متن کاملAssociating ecosystem service losses with indicators of toxicity in habitat equivalency analysis.
Habitat equivalency analysis (HEA) was developed as a tool to scale mitigation or restoration when habitat is contaminated by hazardous substances or has been otherwise harmed by anthropogenic activities. Applying HEA involves balancing reductions in habitat quality against gains from restoration actions, and quantifying changes in habitat quality in terms of ecological services. We propose a f...
