Titre : Structured decision making: case studies in natural resource management Type de document : livre Auteurs : Michael C. Runge, Éditeur scientifique ; Sarah J. Converse, Éditeur scientifique ; James E. Lyons, Éditeur scientifique ; David R. Smith, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Baltimore, Maryland : Johns Hopkins University Press Année de publication : 2020 Collection : Wildlife management and conservation Importance : 272 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4214-3756-9 Prix : 74.95 USD Note générale : ISBN-10 : 1-4214-3756-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Natural resources Resource conservation Wildlife management Decision making Case studies Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : When faced with complicated, potentially controversial decisions that affect our environment, many resource management agencies have come to realize the value of structured decision making (SDM)—the systematic use of principles and tools of decision analysis. Few professionals, however, have extensive experience implementing SDM. Structured Decision Making provides key information to both current adopters of the method and those who are deploying it for the first time by demonstrating the formal use of decision analysis to support difficult, real-world natural resource management decisions. Drawing on case studies from multiple public agencies in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Mauritius, the editors present an overview of decision analysis, a classification of decision types, and a catalog of decision analysis methods. Dozens of detailed charts and maps help contextualize the material.
These case studies examine a rich variety of topics, including:
*keeping forest birds free from disease
*conserving imperiled freshwater mussels
*managing water for oil sands mining
*safeguarding coastal wetlands in the face of sea-level rise
*designing networks for prairie-dependent taxa
*combatting invasive alpine shrubs
*managing vernal pool habitats for obligate amphibian species
Aimed at decision makers tackling natural resource challenges in government agencies around the world, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students preparing to work in natural resource management, Structured Decision Making shows how SDM can be implemented to achieve optimal outcomes that integrate social values and scientific understanding.En ligne : https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/title/structured-decision-making Structured decision making: case studies in natural resource management [livre] / Michael C.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-31236-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Carbon dioxide Case studies Ecosystems Environmental impact Physiological regulation Résumé : Managed ecosystems cover a large part of the Earth's land surface, provide almost all of our food and most of our wood and fibre, and are increasingly a source of renewable energy. Forecasting the ability of managed ecosystems to continue these vital roles in a globally changing environment is an inter-disciplinary challenge. To elucidate the complex responses of managed systems to elevated [CO2], several free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) facilities were established. These FACE systems allow large areas to be exposed to the elevated [CO2] we expect by the middle of the century. This volume summarizes the main findings from 13 experiments with annual crops, permanent pastures and plantation forests at 11 sites throughout the world during the past ten years. The results significantly alter our perception of how rising [CO2] will directly affect these managed ecosystems, with implications for policy, plant-breeding objectives and adaptation.

This volume integrates the results of long term interdisciplinary ecosystem research at two forested watersheds in Germany with special emphasis on the biogeochemistry of carbon, dissolved organic matter and mineral elements in response to changing environmental conditions and management. Despite the reduction in acidic deposition, forest ecosystems are still threatened by soil acidification, nutrient depletion and eutrophication and criteria of sustainability are not yet achieved. The results highlight the complex interactions between vegetation, animals and soils in terrestrial ecosystems that are triggered by changes in environmental conditions.

How can they provide the best available scientific information about what will happen in the future? Ecological Forecasting is the first book to bring together the concepts and tools needed to make ecology a more predictive science.
Ecological Forecasting presents a new way of doing ecology. A closer connection between data and models can help us to project our current understanding of ecological processes into new places and times. This accessible and comprehensive book covers a wealth of topics, including Bayesian calibration and the complexities of real-world data; uncertainty quantification, partitioning, propagation, and analysis; feedbacks from models to measurements; state-space models and data fusion; iterative forecasting and the forecast cycle; and decision support.
* Features case studies that highlight the advances and opportunities in forecasting across a range of ecological subdisciplines, such as epidemiology, fisheries, endangered species, biodiversity, and the carbon cycle
* Presents a probabilistic approach to prediction and iteratively updating forecasts based on new data
* Describes statistical and informatics tools for bringing models and data together, with emphasis on:
* Quantifying and partitioning uncertainties :
Dealing with the complexities of real-world data
Feedbacks to identifying data needs, improving models, and decision support
