Financial Analysis of Converting Rural Lawns to Pollinator Habitat in the Corn Belt

Abstract: Conservation efforts in rural landscapes seek to improve the multifunctional nature of land uses for people and the biotic communities that support them. In these environments, existing turf grass lawns mowed routinely thorough the summer presents an opportunity where changes in management from intensively managed monocultures toward diverse native perennial vegetation can stack environmental benefits by improving soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat. Conversion of lawns to pollinator habitat can h… Show more

“…Planners need to be aware of the timing, nature, and permanence of BMP costs. The ACPF FiNRT annualizes total costs over a 20‐yr timeframe, which, while useful for comparative analysis (Tyndall & Roesch, 2014), can mask fundamental differences in the timing of BMP costs (Janke et al., 2021). Cover crops featured in S1 are annual expenditures, whereas the nutrient removal wetlands, bioreactors, and saturated buffers featured in S2 all have significant upfront costs associated with design, site preparation, structural materials, and establishment.…”
