Abstract

Emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive forest insect from Asia, has impacted vast areas in the United States and European Russia. To proactively understand the social impact of an EAB invasion in Europe and the USA, this study analyzed visitors’ preferences and preference heterogeneity for EAB-impacted forest scenarios in Vienna, Austria (n = 510) and Minneapolis, USA (n = 307). An image-based discrete choice experiment with latent-class analysis among on-site completed questionnaires in Vienna indicated four different visitor segments based on trade-offs among biophysical, social and viewscape elements. Within the forested environment, two segments placed greater importance on (bio)physical attributes and two on social aspects. Although all segments preferred a non-impacted ash forest, only one of the four identified the attribute describing EAB impacts and forest management as the most important attribute. Rather, visitor numbers and background viewscapes were more important than EAB impact and management to differentiate landscape preferences for three of the four segments. Differences in preferences were found between the Vienna and Minneapolis samples. Vienna respondents showed a higher preference for more natural conditions, disliked more the initial stage of EAB impact and placed more importance on background viewscapes and visitor numbers. Forest managers and greenspace planners need to consider the entirety of the forested condition, social and visual, for effective management and address that visitors differ in their preferences for all of these conditions.

城市森林游客对翡翠灰蛀虫影响地区的偏好差异
绿灰螟(EAB)是一种来自亚洲的入侵森林昆虫,已经影响了美国和欧洲俄罗斯的大片地区。为了主动了解EAB入侵对欧洲和美国的社会影响,本研究分析了奥地利维也纳(n = 510)和美国明尼阿波利斯(n = 307)游客对EAB影响森林情景的偏好和偏好异质性。一项基于图像的离散选择实验对维也纳现场完成的问卷进行了潜在类分析,发现基于生物物理、社会和景观因素的权衡,有四种不同的游客群体。在森林环境中,两个部分更重视(生物)物理属性,两个部分更重视社会方面。尽管所有的调查对象都倾向于不受影响的白蜡林,但四个调查对象中只有一个认为描述EAB影响和森林管理的属性是最重要的属性。相反,游客数量和背景景观比EAB影响和管理更重要,以区分四个部分中的三个部分的景观偏好。在维也纳和明尼阿波利斯的样本中发现了偏好的差异。维也纳的受访者对更自然的条件表现出更高的偏好,更不喜欢EAB影响的初始阶段,更重视背景景观和游客数量。森林管理者和绿地规划者需要考虑森林的整体状况,社会和视觉,以有效管理和解决游客对所有这些条件的不同偏好。

期刊介绍: The journal is inclusive of all subjects, geographical zones and study locations, including trees in urban environments, plantations and natural forests. We welcome papers that consider economic, environmental and social factors and, in particular, studies that take an integrated approach to sustainable management. In considering suitability for publication, attention is given to the originality of contributions and their likely impact on policy and practice, as well as their contribution to the development of knowledge. Special Issues - each year one edition of Forestry will be a Special Issue and will focus on one subject in detail; this will usually be by publication of the proceedings of an international meeting.
