Spatial Optimization in Ecological Applications
John Hof and Michael Bevers
257 pages, figs, tabs.
I Simple proximity relationships: sedimentation; stormflow management; natural regeneration in any-aged forest management; combining simulation with optimization - habitat placement for the northern spotted owl. II Reaction-diffusion models: characteristics of the discrete reaction-diffusion model; the basic model - habitat placement for the black-footed ferret; population-dependent dispersal - habitat placement for the black-tailed prairie dog; topography-based dispersal - habitat location for the western prairie fringed orchid; habitat edge effects. III Control models: strategies for controlling exotic pests; strategies for controlling wildfire. IV Using optimization to develop hypotheses about ecosystems: multi-scaled ecological limiting factors; carbon fixation in trees as an optimization process.
