Abstract:
1. How to simultaneously combat biodiversity loss and maintain ecosystem functioning<br/> while improving human welfare remains an open question. Optimization<br/> approaches have proven helpful in revealing the trade-offs<br/> between multiple<br/> functions and goals provided by land-cover<br/> configurations. The R package optim-<br/> Landuse provides tools for easy and systematic applications of the robust multiobjective<br/> land-cover<br/> composition optimization approach of Knoke et al. (2016).<br/> 2. The package includes tools to determine the land-cover<br/> composition that best<br/> balances the multiple functions a landscape can provide, and tools for understanding<br/> and visualizing the reasoning behind these compromises. A tutorial<br/> based on a published dataset guides users through the application and highlights<br/> possible use-cases.<br/> 3. Illustrating the consequences of alternative ecosystem functions on the theoretically<br/> optimal landscape composition provides easily interpretable information<br/> for landscape modelling and decision-making.<br/> 4. The package opens the approach of Knoke et al. (2016) to the community of<br/> landscape modellers and planners and provides opportunities for straightforward<br/> systematic or batch applications.
