A review of methods for the assessment of prediction errors in conservation presence/absence models
Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 38-49 - 1997
Predicting the distribution of endangered species from habitat data is
frequently perceived to be a useful technique. Models that predict the presence
or absence of a species are normally judged by the number of prediction errors.
These may be of two types: false positives and false negatives. Many of the
prediction errors can be traced to ecological processes such as unsaturated
habitat and speci...
Environmental threats and environmental future of estuaries
Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang 78-107 - 2002
Estuaries exhibit a wide array of human impacts that can compromise their
ecological integrity, because of rapid population growth and uncontrolled
development in many coastal regions worldwide. Long-term environmental problems
plaguing estuaries require remedial actions to improve the viability and health
of these valuable coastal systems. Detailed examination of the effects of
pollution inputs, ...
Threats to the running water ecosystems of the world
Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 134-153 - 2002
Running waters are perhaps the most impacted ecosystem on the planet as they
have been the focus for human settlement and are heavily exploited for water
supplies, irrigation, electricity generation, and waste disposal. Lotic systems
also have an intimate contact with their catchments and so land-use alterations
affect them directly. Here long-term trends in the factors that currently impact
runni...
Moving beyond panaceas: a multi-tiered diagnostic approach for social-ecological analysis
Tập 37 Số 4 - Trang 451-463 - 2010
SUMMARYDisturbances to key aspects of ecological systems, including biodiversity
loss, climate change, pollution and natural resource degradation, have become a
major concern to many policy analysts. Instead of learning from the study of
biological complexity however, social scientists tend to recommend simple
panaceas, particularly government or private ownership, as ‘the’ way to solve
these prob...
Applying the ecosystem services concept to poverty alleviation: the need to disaggregate human well-being
Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 370-379 - 2011
SUMMARYThe concept of ecosystem services (ES), the benefits humans derive from
ecosystems, is increasingly applied to environmental conservation, human
well-being and poverty alleviation, and to inform the development of
interventions. Payments for ecosystem services (PES) implicitly recognize the
unequal distribution of the costs and benefits of maintaining ES, through
monetary compensation from ...
Saltmarshes in a time of change
Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang 39-61 - 2002
Saltmarshes are a major, widely distributed, intertidal habitat. They are
dynamic systems, responding to changing environmental conditions. For centuries,
saltmarshes have been subject to modification or destruction because of human
activity. In this review, the range of factors influencing the survival of
saltmarshes is discussed. Of critical importance are changes in relative sea
level and in ti...
Sustainability science: a review, an analysis and some empirical lessons
Tập 38 Số 3 - Trang 275-287 - 2011
SUMMARYSustainability science has developed from a new research field into a
vibrant discipline in its own right, with scientific conferences, journals and
scientific societies dedicated to its pursuit. Characterized more by its
research purpose than by a common set of methods or objects, sustainability
science can be subdivided into the more traditional disciplinary-based science
for sustainabili...

landholders and their representatives) have initiated a series of measures that
threaten Amazonia’s environment and traditional peoples, as well as global
climate. These include weakening the country’s environmental agencies and forest
code, granting amnesty to deforestation, approving harmful agrochemicals,
reducing protected a...
Knowledge exchange: a review and research agenda for environmental management
Tập 40 Số 1 - Trang 19-36 - 2013
SUMMARYThere is increasing emphasis on the need for effective ways of sharing
knowledge to enhance environmental management and sustainability. Knowledge
exchange (KE) are processes that generate, share and/or use knowledge through
various methods appropriate to the context, purpose, and participants involved.
KE includes concepts such as sharing, generation, coproduction, comanagement,
and broker...
Bushmeat hunting by communities adjacent to the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania: the importance of livestock ownership and alternative sources of protein and income
Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 391-398 - 2002
Illegal hunting of resident and migratory herbivores is widespread in the
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. To devise effective strategies to reduce
levels of hunting, information is required on why people are involved in illegal
hunting and the role of bushmeat in the local economy. Participation in hunting
may be influenced by measures of relative wealth, including livestock ownership,
means of...
