Drought can cause large yield losses of rapeseed ( Brassica napus L.), particularly during the flowering stage. Effective methods of crop management are required to improve the tolerance to drought. Film antitranspirants (AT) help to reduce water loss by forming a waterproof layer to block...

Identifying the optimal switching point between different invasive alien species (IAS) management policies is a very complex task and policy makers are in need of modelling tools to assist them. In this paper we develop an optimal control bioeconomic model to estimate the type of optimal policy...

The economic value of biological collections in three major botanic gardens in Australia was estimated using the Travel-Cost (TC) and Contingent Valuation (CV) methods. The study used truncated count data models to control for the non-negative integer and truncation properties of the number of...
