Adaptive management alone is insufficient for ecosystem health in high-conflict areas. A new threshold-based resource management framework integrates multiple approaches for better ecosystem health and reliable services.

Area of Science:

  • Ecosystem Management
  • Environmental Science
  • Resource Management

Background:

  • Adaptive management faces challenges in regions with rapid population growth and increased resource extraction.
  • Large-scale ecosystem experiments are often infeasible in these complex environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the limitations of adaptive management for ecosystem health.
  • To introduce a new framework, threshold-based resource management, for science-informed ecosystem management.
  • To guide management choices among different approaches based on ecosystem thresholds.

Main Methods:

  • Review of adaptive management principles and limitations.
  • Development of a threshold-based resource management framework.
  • Analysis of four management approaches: self-sustaining, adaptive, case-by-case, and high-reliability management.

Main Results:

  • Threshold-based resource management guides choices among four distinct management approaches.
  • Management options and achievable ecosystem health outcomes shift as resource conflicts increase across landscape thresholds.
  • Exclusive reliance on a single management regime is detrimental to ecosystem health goals in heterogeneous landscapes.

Conclusions:

  • A flexible, integrated approach is necessary for effective ecosystem management.
  • Threshold-based resource management offers a framework for navigating complex environmental challenges.
  • "Bandwidth management," blending adaptive and high-reliability approaches, is proposed for improved ecosystem health and reliable ecosystem services.
