Series: Environmental and Ecological Risk Assessment

With contributions from a wide array of economists, ecologists, and government agency professionals, Economics and Ecological Risk Assessment: Applications to Watershed Management provides a multidisciplinary approach to environmental decision-making at a watershed level. It introduces the fields of ecological risk assessment (ERA) and economic analysis and discusses their application to the practice of watershed management. The book presents a general framework for the integration of ERA and economic analysis to improve environmental management in a diversity of watersheds.

Focusing on real-world decisions, this book describes studies conducted in six U.S. watersheds where both ecological and economic analyses were needed. Decision contexts for these studies include negotiations to satisfy Endangered Species Act requirements, natural resource damage assessment, Clean Water Act permitting, and community development planning. The success of ecological-economic integration in each study, and the contribution to decision making, is critically examined.

Reviews for Economics and Ecological Risk Assessment: Applications to Watershed Management

Ecologists would do well to read this book, examine its case studies, and seriously consider their implications for ecological research and assessment. -- Glenn Suter, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ...This volume, uniquely in my experience, brings together a conceptual framework for combining economic valuation and ecological risk assessment...provides some context for the whole effort within the institutional realities of American environmental management agencies. -- Alan Randall, Department of Agriculture, Environment, and Development Economics, The Ohio State University
