Natural Resource Management Reimagined

Using the Systems Ecology Paradigm
Robert G. Woodmansee, Colorado State University

Dennis S. Ojima, Colorado State University
Laurie Richards, Colorado State University
June 2021
Paperback
9781108740135
    Description

    The Systems Ecology Paradigm (SEP) incorporates humans as integral parts of ecosystems and emphasizes issues that have significant societal relevance such as grazing land, forestland, and agricultural ecosystem management, biodiversity and global change impacts. Accomplishing this societally relevant research requires cutting-edge basic and applied research. This book focuses on environmental and natural resource challenges confronting local to global societies for which the SEP methodology must be utilized for resolution. Key elements of SEP are a holistic perspective of ecological/social systems, systems thinking, and the ecosystem approach applied to real world, complex environmental and natural resource problems. The SEP and ecosystem approaches force scientific emphasis to be placed on collaborations with social scientists and behavioral, learning, and marketing professionals. The SEP has given environmental scientists, decision makers, citizen stakeholders, and land and water managers a powerful set of tools to analyse, integrate knowledge, and propose adoption of solutions to important local to global problems.

    • Commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory (NREL) at Colorado State University (CSU) and its founder, George M. Van Dyne
    • Addresses real world, complex problems such as, impacts of climate change, local to global carbon dynamics, human altered nitrogen dynamics and biodiversity
    • Presents the Systems Ecology Paradigm (SEP) as a powerful methodology that is indispensable for resolving real world, complex problems

    The Lichenologist
    The Lichenologist

    : Journal

    The Lichenologist is the premier scientific journal devoted exclusively to the study of lichens worldwide. As the leading forum for the dissemination of new concepts and topical reviews, The Lichenologist reaches more scientists concerned with the study of lichens and lichen symbionts than any other single journal. All aspects of lichenology are considered including systematics and phylogenetics; molecular biology; ultrastructure, anatomy and morphology; secondary chemistry; effects of pollutants and use as bioindicators; biogeography. In addition to standard length research papers, the journal also publishes longer monographs, Short Communications and Book Reviews. A monthly issue may occasionally be devoted to papers deriving from a symposium.The Lichenologist Online Digital Archive from 1958 to 2003 is now available for purchase.

    Seed Science Research
    Seed Science Research

    : Journal

    Seed Science Research, the official journal of the International Society for Seed Science, is an international journal that publishes original papers, as well as reviews and opinion papers, dealing primarily with the fundamentals of seed research with emphasis on the physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and ecology of seed development, dormancy and germination. The importance of seeds to propagation, food, biofuel and biodiversity cannot be underestimated and therefore submissions on seed genetics, seed biotechnology, seed treatment and seedling establishment are especially encouraged if they are novel and ‘seed driven’.
