Balancing Monitoring and Management in the Adaptive Management of an Invasive Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Efficient allocation of managers' limited resources is necessary to effectively control invasive species, but determining how to allocate effort between monitoring and management over space and time remains a challenge. In an adaptive management context,

Adaptive management for a turbulent future

Journal of Environmental Management, 2011
The challenges that face humanity today differ from the past because as the scale of human influence has increased, our biggest challenges have become global in nature, and formerly local problems that could be addressed by shifting populations or switching resources, now aggregate (i.e., "scale up") limiting potential management options.

Adaptive management for ecosystem services. [PDF]

J Environ Manage, 2016
Management of natural resources for the production of ecosystem services, which are vital for human well-being, is necessary even when there is uncertainty regarding system response to management action. This uncertainty is the result of incomplete controllability, complex internal feedbacks, and non-linearity that often interferes with desired ...
