Stratification of Denmark

Separate into classes

How to decide on number of classes

Drivers of climate change

  • Climate change
  • Habitat degradation
  • Explotation
  • Pollution (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Air pollution)
  • Invasive species

Climate change

Climate change

  • Four different future scenarios
  • Climate change velocity
  • Extreme conditions

Compared to current conditions

Comparison among futures

Selected GCMs

  • Based of four corners (Fajardo et al., 2020)

  • We are working on higher resolution climate for Denmark

Example of climate change Velocity

  • Kms per year

Biodiversity and invasive species

Data for Denmark

  • From BIEN, we looked for all the presences of species present in Denmark
    • Native: 987
    • Introduced: 208 (more introduced species have also been modeled)
  • Model current and 4 future scenarios

Invasive Species

Native species current richness

Rarity

Concensus (Example)

  • When current and future ranges are aligned

Concensus richness

  • Present richness vs concensus richness
  • Better options with migrations, artscore, and other metrics
  • Other taxa

Habitat degradation

Agriculture

  • Naidoo and Iwamura (2007)
  • Based on potential crop and livestock production
  • Does not consider climate change (We can do better)

Human footprint

  • Copenhagen shows how different they are

Prioritization

Minimum Cost

\[{\mathit{Minimize} \space \sum_{i = 1}^{I} x_i c_i \\}\]

  • Every \(i\) is a cell, where \(c_i\) is the cost for each cell.
  • \(x_i\) is a decision of 0 not to use in prioritization and 1 to use in a prioritization

Naive prioritization

  • Only take into account species (10% coverage)

Add Agriculture

  • Add Agriculture as cost (min cost)

We dont start from scratch

  • Start with protected areas, eliminate cities (HFP)

Maximum utility

\[{\mathit{Maximize} \space \sum_{i = 1}^{I} -s \space c_i \space x_i + \sum_{j = 1}^{J} a_j w_j \\}\]

  • where \(c_i\) is the cost of cell \(i\)
  • \(x_i\) is the decision to use (1) or not use (0) cell i in the final solution
  • \(a_j\) is the amount of feature \(j\) in cell \(i\) and \(w_j\) is the weight of each feature
  • \(s\) is a scaling factor used to shrink the costs so that the problem will return a cheapest solution

Subject to

\[\sum_{i = 1}^{I} x_i c_i \leq B\]

  • Where B is a budget (don’t need to set fixed boudaries)

Using weights and different budgets

closest to 10 and 30%

Desicions to make

Objective function

  • We should probably test different objective functions
    • Minimum cost
    • Maximum utility
    • Minimum largest shortfall

Features

  • Ecosystem services
  • Microbiota diversity and anssambles

Constrains

  • Carbon stock
  • Pesticide reduction
  • Food needs (i.e. 55,000 Tons of livestock)

Need to build some projections

  • Agriculture and land use Best guess for the future
    • Projected yieald with climate change
    • Ideas on how to manage land use and check (could use ideal vs projected scenarios)
    • More local projections
  • Carbons stock, acumulated per cell per time-slice
