  • Race and income moderate the effect of parks on housing prices in a segregated city

    Open AccessAdriana Castillo-Castillo, Robert H Walker et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2025

  • Integrated modeling of nature’s role in human well-being

    Open AccessRebecca Chaplin‐Kramer, Stephen Polasky et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2024Cited by: 3References: 10

    Integrated models can assess effects of ecosystem services on the global economy. • Insights from integrated models can improve management for sustainable development. • To be most useful, models need to link ecological impacts and human well-being. • Key advances include better incorporation of equity and social-ecological feedbacks. Integrated assessment models that incorporate biodiversity and ecosystem services could be an important tool for …

  • Calibrating and validating the InVest urban cooling model

    Perrine Hamel, Martí Bosch et al.PREPRINT2023

    Understanding the cooling service provided by vegetation in cities is important to inform urban policy and planning. However, the performance of decision-support tools estimating heat mitigation for urban greening strategies is not systematically evaluated. Here, we develop a calibration algorithm and evaluate the performance of the Urban Cooling model developed within the open-source InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeof…

  • Assessing urban ecosystem services provided by green infrastructure

    Open AccessEric V Lonsdorf, Chris Nootenboom et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2021

    With more than half the world’s population living in urban areas, most of people’s potential to receive ecosystem service benefits occurs in cities. However a straightforward, replicable approach to quantifying multiple urban ecosystem services has yet to emerge, so urban planning decisions often overlook the value nature could provide people. Urbanization is likely to increase development pressure on many forms of green spaces across cities, par…

  • The contribution of land cover change to the decline of honey yields in the Northern Great Plains

    Open AccessDavid J Smith, David Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Decreased availability of forage, as well as increased pesticide exposure, are important factors in the decline of honey bee health. Here, we isolate land cover transitions and their effect on honey production at 160 commercial apiaries in the Northern Great Plains. We found that land cover changes from 2008 to 2012 caused an annual decline in honey yields of 0.9% in the study area. Transitions from grassland to soybean (but not corn) were partic…

  • Partitioning private and external benefits of crop pollination services

    Open AccessEric V Lonsdorf, Insu Koh et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    Ecosystem services (ES) provide a range of benefits to people, but landowners that produce ES are often separate from those receiving benefits. As a result, landowners bear the costs of managing ecosystems, but often share the benefits with others. Accounting for these private and external costs and benefits would improve the effectiveness of payments for ES management. We develop a spatially explicit ES modelling approach to evaluate the alignme…

  • A Retrospective Analysis of Factors Correlated to Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) Respiratory Health at Gombe National Park, Tanzania

  • Modeling multiple ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, commodity production, and tradeoffs at landscape scales

    Open AccessErik Nelson, Guillermo Mendoza et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Ecology and the…2009

    Nature provides a wide range of benefits to people. There is increasing consensus about the importance of incorporating these “ecosystem services” into resource management decisions, but quantifying the levels and values of these services has proven difficult. We use a spatially explicit modeling tool, Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST), to predict changes in ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, and commod…

  • Interactions between zoo‐housed great apes and local wildlife

    Open AccessStephen R Ro, S R Ross et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2009

    Although there are published reports of wild chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans hunting and consuming vertebrate prey, data pertaining to captive apes remain sparse. In this survey‐based study, we evaluate the prevalence and nature of interactions between captive great apes and various indigenous wildlife species that range into their enclosures in North America. Our hypotheses were threefold: (a) facilities housing chimpanzees will report the …

  • Where to put things? Spatial land management to sustain biodiversity and economic returns

  • Efficiency of incentives to jointly increase carbon sequestration and species conservation on a landscape

    Open AccessErik Nelson, Stephen Polasky et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2008

    We develop an integrated model to predict private land-use decisions in response to policy incentives designed to increase the provision of carbon sequestration and species conservation across heterogeneous landscapes. Using data from the Willamette Basin, Oregon, we compare the provision of carbon sequestration and species conservation under five simple policies that offer payments for conservation. We evaluate policy performance compared with t…
