Conducts Analyses Informing Ecosystem Restoration Decisions
Description
Three sets of data and functions for informing ecosystem restoration
decisions, particularly in the context of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
First, model parameters are compiled as a data set and associated metadata
for over 300 habitat suitability models developed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS 1980, ).
Second, functions for conducting habitat suitability analyses both for the
models described above as well as generic user-specified model parameterizations.
Third, a suite of decision support tools for conducting cost-effectiveness and
incremental cost analyses (Robinson et al. 1995, IWR Report 95-R-1, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers).
