Perception of plant species richness by people with different nationalities—an experimental study
This study investigates with the help of a manipulative experiment how people with different nationalities perceive meadow-like arrays of different species richness (1, 8, 16, 32, 64 species). Participants (n = 187) were all residents of the canton of Zurich and originated from 43 different countries. Overall valuation of the meadow-like arrays increased with species richness. However, while participants from high-income countries (measured by GDP per capita) clearly liked species-rich meadows most and species-poor ones least, participants from low-income countries did not have such clear preferences. Preferences were not related to the length of time a participant had already spent in Switzerland (on average seven years), but to perceived familiarity with a meadow-like array. Sex and education did not influence valuations. Environmental expertise fostered participants’ dislike of species-poor arrays, as did age.
