Estimating Cost-Effectiveness of Hawaiian Dry Forest Restoration Using Spatial Changes in Water Yield and Landscape Flammability under Climate Change

摘要: Abstract: Resource managers increasingly seek to implement cost-effective watershed restoration plans for multiple ecosystem service benefits. Using locally adapted tools and historical management costs, we quantified spatially explicit costs benefits (in terms of groundwater recharge landscape flammability) assist a state agency in evaluating cobenefits predefined scenario (focused on biodiversity benefits) prioritize an expanded the state-managed Pu‘u Wa‘awa‘a ( Hawai‘i) now under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 midcentury climate scenario. Restoring all available areas increases by ∼1.74 million m3/yr (5% over entire watershed) current does not meaningfully change RCP midcentury, whereas decreases ∼50%. For flammability, median maximum probability o...
