Green spaces can support human stress reduction and foster positive emotional well-being. Previous research has suggested that biodiversity (i.e. the variety of species of plants and animals in a given location) can enhance recovery from stress even further. However, there is limited experimental evidence testing this hypothesis and results, to date, have been mixed. This study aimed to provide further understanding of the role of biodiversity (actual or perceived) on human well-being by experimentally manipulating species richness and stress. Participants (372 in total) took part in an online experiment, where they received an episode of mild stress before watching a 360-degree video to recover. The video showed the same location, an urban woodland, but at one of four artificially manipulated levels of biodiversity. The participants reported their Positive and Negative Affect before and after the stress induction and after watching the video, providing a measure of their stress and well-being throughout the experiment. Participants also reported their perceptions of biodiversity (i.e. how diverse they thought the location was) and elaborated on their responses with brief comments. Repeated Measure Analysis of Variance revealed that exposure to all levels of biodiversity reduced the participants’ Negative Affect, but with no significant difference between the conditions. However, the analysis showed higher Positive Affect in those participants who perceived the environment as more biodiverse. Comments from participants indicated that those who reported noticing flowers and trees in the environment also showed higher Positive Affect. This suggests that perceiving biodiversity promotes more positive emotions, but critically one needs to actually notice (engage with) the components of biodiversity to elicit these extra benefits.

Valoración social de humedales costeros en el noroeste de México

Los humedales aportan servicios ecosistémicos determinantes para el bienestar humano; sin embargo, su valor e importancia se estiman principalmente desde una visión económica que provee información relevante, pero que no necesariamente contribuye a su conservación, desplazando en ocasiones visiones de manejo definidas localmente por los beneficiarios cercanos o directos. Considerando lo anterior, en este trabajo se estimó el valor social que los beneficiarios locales asignan a los humedales costeros y sus servicios ecosistémicos en el sur de Sinaloa, a partir de un marco metodológico participativo, espacialmente explícito. Los resultados indican que el valor social se asocia con la localidad de los beneficiarios, con la presencia de servicios de provisión con valor económico ofrecidos por los humedales, así como con condiciones sociales que favorecen la educación ambiental. Los aspectos relacionados con la historia y la espiritualidad tuvieron escasa relevancia en la valoración de los humedales.

Using a Compromise Programming Framework to Integrating Spatially Specific Preference Information for Forest Management Problems

Multi Criteria Decision Anal

The development of forest management plans is a multi‐criteria problem that usually involves multiple stakeholders. In forested recreational areas or natural parks, stakeholders could include government officials, forest companies and visitors to the area. With the progress of mobile phone technology, preference information (including aesthetic values) can be conveniently obtained from stakeholders while they are in the forest. This paper develops a methodological approach that incorporates place‐specific opinion preference into the development of alternative forest management plans. Through the use of a modified Compromise Programming approach, prospective alternatives are developed, which optimize the opinions of stakeholders and the quantity of timber over time depending on specified parameters. The analysis is based on a small simulated forest holding and place‐specific simulated opinion data. To allow for a comparison between potential stakeholder groups, the opinion data was generated by a method that produced three separate groups. The results indicate the practical use of place‐specific preferences and provide a means to incorporate the information to generate possible alternative plans. In addition, the analysis highlights that by segregating the preference information into groups, the planning of more specific courses of actions can be made.
