| Abstract: | The authors optimize the trade-off between economic and ecological concerns in conservation biology by using a novel method to link a spatially explicit individual-based model to a dynamic programming model. To date, few optimality models have been presented to optimize this trade-off, especially when the common currency cannot be easily measured in dollars. The authors use a population simulation model to model a hypothetical forest bird population's response to different cutting and planting regimes. |
