Abstract

Abstract With its varied landscape of hills and mountains, New Zealand has an abundance of marginal land on its slopes. This land is currently used in a variety of enterprises, such as pasture and farmland. However, marginal land is typically associated with higher rates of erosion, shallow topsoil, expensive fencing, and other issues like livestock deaths from falls. There is currently interest in deploying these marginal lands to different uses to align with several environmental and production-related goals. This paper contributes to the discussion on marginal land by exploring three different scenarios related to afforestation in the Manawatu catchment area. To analyze these scenarios, we bring together several complex and spatially explicit data sets which are linked using economic modeling tools and benefits transfer methods. The combination of these tools and data sets allows us to produce several important quantitative and qualitative outputs. Where possible, quantitative predictions are monetized, allowing a benefit-cost analysis of the proposed scenarios.
新西兰原生森林和外来生产森林之间的权衡
摘要新西兰的丘陵和山脉景观千姿百态,山坡上有大量的边缘土地。这片土地目前被各种企业使用,如牧场和农田。然而,边缘土地通常与更高的侵蚀率、浅表层土、昂贵的围栏以及其他问题有关,如牲畜因坠落而死亡。目前,人们有兴趣将这些边缘土地用于不同的用途,以符合几个与环境和生产相关的目标。本文通过探索与马纳瓦图流域造林相关的三种不同情景,为边缘土地的讨论做出了贡献。为了分析这些场景,我们将几个复杂且空间明确的数据集结合在一起,这些数据集使用经济建模工具和利益转移方法进行链接。这些工具和数据集的结合使我们能够产生一些重要的定量和定性产出。在可能的情况下,量化预测是货币化的,允许对拟议情景进行效益成本分析。
