title = "Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for cost-effective management of ecosystem services in a watershed",
abstract = "The multiseasonal land uses and tillage practices that most cost-effectively produce improved ecosystem services within a watershed and ultimately enable examination of the tradeoffs between commodity production and generation of those services are discussed. To solve multi-objective problem, an optimal control computational model is developed by interfacing a widely used distributed watershed model with a Pareto-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm known as the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA). The model is applied to the Big Creek watershed in southern Illinois. The methodology is effective in identifying a set of optimal solutions and gives the user access to important information regarding tradeoffs among competing objectives.",
