Adaptive Management of National Park Ecosystems
ecosystems is challenging because park managers cannot accurately determine ecosystem states and predict the outcomes of management actions due to uncertainty. Four sources of uncertainty arise. First, variability in social, demographic, ecological, and economic factors makes it difficult to infer the state of an ecosystem from observed conditions and predict ecosystem responses to management a...
متن کاملEthnoecology and conservation in protected natural areas: incorporating local knowledge in Superagui National Park management.
The majority of protected natural areas in Brazil were created in coastal areas inhabited by humans for centuries. However, legal protection has triggered a series of conflicts involving human settlements in these areas. To overcome part of these problems, ethnoecological studies have been conducted in order to discover what is known by local indigenous communities with respect to the land, its...
متن کاملPredicting Tropical Forest Carbon from EO-1 Hyperspectral Imagery in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, Bolivia
An increasing interest in the ability of tropical forests to sequester large amounts of carbon has pushed scientists to look for new ways to acquire accurate estimates of biomass and other forest structural attributes over large, remote areas. We used hyperspectral images acquired in the fall of 2001 from the Hyperion imaging spectrometer to predict aboveground biomass in Noel Kempff Mercado Na...
متن کاملAre methylmercury concentrations in the wetlands of Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada, dependent on geology?
In the relatively pristine ecosystem in Kejimkujik Park, Nova Scotia, methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in loons, Gavia immer, are among the highest recorded anywhere in the world. This study investigated the influence of bedrock lithology on MeHg concentrations in wetlands. Twenty-five different wetland field sites were sampled over four different bedrock lithologies; Kejimkujik monzogranite...
