Quantifying and resolving conservation conflicts in forest landscapes via multiobjective optimization

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Highlights• We introduce a compatibility index quantifying how targeting a management objective in the forest landscape affects another objective.• To resolve conflicts we find compromise solutions minimizing the maximum deterioration among objectives.• We apply our approach for a case study of forest management for biodiversity conservation and development.• Multiple use management and careful planning can reduce biodiversity conflicts in forest ecosystems.
