The long-term supply of ecosystem services is dependent on properly functioning ecosystems and their susceptibility to natural and anthropogenic disturbances such as climate change and urbanization, as they can alter ecosystem structure and function. Forest function is not static, but rather a risky asset that fluctuates and can decrease as a result of forest disturbance. Therefore, concepts such as resilience and insurance value as well effective policy formulation, management, and restoration are key to maintaining these benefits. This study estimates the insurance value that the public places on a policy that promotes restoration for increased resilience and ecosystem services using binary choice (BC) and best-worst scaling (BWS) models to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) and to vote for the restoration of longleaf pine (LLP) forests in the southeastern United States. Our BWS findings indicate that respondents seemed to only prefer programs with low risk of forest damage and lower monthly costs, while BC models show that low and moderate risk programs increased the likelihood of voting for them and that excellent wildlife habitat was also highly valued by our respondents. Positive attitudes towards the environment also positively influence voting for forest restoration programs. Findings contribute to an emerging body of literature on social-ecological systems and how the voting public conceptualizes trade-offs among ecosystem services, insurance value, and resilience. Results may help assess the use and incorporation of concepts such as resilience, ecosystem services, and insurance value in restoration, environmental, fire management, and climate change-related policy instruments and programs.

认识到弹性的保险价值:来自美国东南部森林恢复政策的证据

生态系统服务的长期供应取决于正常运行的生态系统及其对自然和人为干扰(如气候变化和城市化)的敏感性,因为它们可以改变生态系统的结构和功能。森林功能不是一成不变的,而是一种风险资产,会由于森林干扰而波动并可能减少。因此,诸如复原力和保险价值以及有效的保单制定,管理和恢复之类的概念对于保持这些利益至关重要。这项研究使用二元选择(BC)和最差规模(BWS)模型来估计公众愿意支付的,旨在促进恢复以增强抵御力和生态系统服务的政策的保险价值,以估算支付意愿(WTP)并投票支持该政策。恢复美国东南部的长叶松(LLP)森林。我们的BWS调查结果表明,受访者似乎只喜欢森林破坏风险较低且每月成本较低的计划,而卑诗省的模型表明,中低风险计划增加了对其投票的可能性,而且我们对野生动植物栖息地的评价也很高。被调查者。对环境的积极态度也对森林恢复计划的投票产生积极影响。研究结果为有关社会生态系统以及有投票权的公众如何概念化生态系统服务,保险价值和抵御力之间的权衡取舍方面的新兴文献做出了贡献。结果可能有助于评估复原力,生态系统服务和保险价值等概念在恢复,环境,火灾管理以及与气候变化相关的政策工具和计划中的使用和纳入。
