We estimate that fire has approximately twice the treatment life of cutting at time horizons approaching 100 yr, but, has high up-front conservation costs due to temporary loss of sagebrush.
WKHs are small habitat patches with presumably high conservation value [ 3] and they are generally perceived to be a cost-effective tool in conservation of commercial forest biodiversity.
Economic instruments in biodiversity policies can contribute towards reconciling the conservation costs encountered at local level with the benefits of biodiversity conservation at higher levels of governance, from regional and national levels up to the global level.
This suggests high conservation efficiency.
It is possible to select values from 60% (low conservation) to 90% (very high conservation).
Red indicates high conservation, purple moderate conservation, blue poor conservation.
We set pcon as 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 to represent high conservation, intermediate conservation, and low conservation, respectively.
We set p con as 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 to represent high conservation, intermediate conservation, and low conservation, respectively.
λ g = 2 while Pocc = 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 to represent high conservation, intermediate conservation, and low conservation, respectively.
Multiplex methodologies enable simultaneous detection of antibodies against several infectious agents allowing sample conservation, cost effectiveness, and amenability to high-throughput/automation.
