Analysing options for the Red Gum Forests along the Murray River
No full textThe Victorian Environmental Assessment Council is conducting an investigation into the management of the public land River Red Gum Forests of the Murray River Valley in Victoria. In this paper the authors apply the results of an earlier Choice Modelling exercise commissioned by VEAC to estimate the non-use values of the forests. A Benefit Cost Analysis of VEAC's draft recommendations included assessment of the market and non market values associated with different River Red Gum forest management strategies. It is concluded that the use of water for environmental flows is competitive with its use for irrigation. Other economic values associated with timber harvesting, grazing and duck hunting are small in comparison with the water values.Choice Modelling, Environment, River Red Gums, Benefit Cost Analysis, Water Resources, Land Economics/Use, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Valuing the Protection of Victorian Forests: Murray River Red Gums, and East Gippsland
No full textThe Victorian Environmental Assessment Council, in developing recommendations for the Victorian Government on the future management of public lands forests along he Murray River, and in East Gippsland, commissioned an analysis of environmental protections values. This paper reports the results of a choice modeling application that provides that analysis. Values for improved environmental conditions, as described by attributes relating to the forest composition, its wildlife characteristics and recreational opportunities, were estimated for sub-samples of households in Melbourne and in various regions around Victoria. The usefulness of the results as inputs to benefit cost analyses of policy alternatives is assessed.forests, Victoria, choice modeling, benefit cost analysis, Environmental Economics and Policy,
Assessingthe potential impacts of radio transmitters on bat flight and behavior in a controlled environment
No full textTelemetry is an effective method for collecting movement data, however, transmitters have the potential to negatively impact the maneuverability and behavior of wildlife, particularly volant species. Despite concerns, no studies to date have assessed the potential effect of transmitters on bats. Thus, we conducted a behavioral study on evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis) in a controlled environment. We found that transmitters affected both flight and behavior. There was an initial 20% reduction in the number of bats that flew once the transmitter was attached. Of the bats that did fly, we observed decreases in tortuosity by 30%, in distance flown by 67%, in the proportion of active behavior by 78%, and in the number of drinking attempts by 63%. Furthermore, these impacts did not diminish over time (3-day period), suggesting that bats are not habituating to the transmitter. This could have consequences for telemetry survey data collection and interpretation
