Environmental Restoration of Invaded Ecosystems: How Much Versus How Often?

No 15661, Working Papers from University of Florida, International Agricultural Trade and Policy Center

Abstract: This paper derives the optimal level of restorative efforts required to restore environments degraded by invasive species invasion. Specific attention is focused upon a case when the restoration efforts face the risk of failure through relapse of the restored environment. The level of restored environment may also play a role in its future improvement or susceptibility to failure. The tradeoff between the optimal level of environmental quality and number of restorative efforts required to attain that given environmental quality is analyzed.
