Optimal Ecological Restoration of Degraded Wetland Ecosystem by Using Satellite Sensors

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ecological restoration of degraded wetland ecosystem can be achieved by planning experts according to ground investigation, but with low efficiencies. We report that satellite sensors, maximizing ecosystem service values and minimizing ecological restoration cost improve ecological restoration efficiency. In particular, multi-objective linear programming (MOLIP), an optimal programming, improves ecological restoration efficiency by more than 250% in the return on investment of ecological restoration, using TM satellite as area sensors. MOLIP also enables efficient introduction of ecological restoration management without introduction of planning experts and ground investigation.
