Assessing the relative importance of emerald ash borer infestation on recreation choices
Abstract
Emerald ash borer (EAB), a beetle native to Asia, has killed more than 10 million ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) since it invaded North America. On a larger scale, EAB is a pest with international ramifications as Russian surveys of ash trees indicate that emerald ash borer is well established around the city of Moscow and is spreading west, threatening Eastern and Central Europe. Beyond the significant ecological impacts associated with invasive species, social consequences emerge for adjacent communities and visitors alike. Given the coupling of increasing infestation related to climate change and declining resources for public land management, understanding the relative importance of emerald ash borer infestation to recreation experiences is essential to inform resource allocation decisions. This project will evaluate the impact of emerald ash borer infestation level on visitor’s landscape preferences and intended visitation patterns and compare responses to emerald ash borer infestation across visitors in two nations (USA and Austria). This project is supported by the US Forest Service and in cooperation with the University of Minnesota .
