      abstract = {The book focuses in detail on learning and adapting  through partnerships between managers, scientists, and  other stake­holders who learn together how to create and  maintain sustainable resource systems. As natural areas  shrink and fragment, our ability to sustain economic growth  and safeguard biological diversity and ecological integrity  is increasingly being put to the test. In attempting to  meet this unprecedented challenge, adaptive management is  becoming a viable alternative for broader application.  Adaptive management is an iterative decision-making process  which is both operationally and conceptually simple and  which incorporates users to acknowledge and account for  uncertainty, and sustain an operating environment that  promotes its reduction through careful planning,  evaluation, and learning until the desired results are  achieved. This multifaceted approach requires clearly  defined management objectives to guide decisions about what  actions to take, and explicit assumptions about expected  outcomes to compare against actual outcomes. In this edited  book, we address the issue by pursuing a holistic and  systematic approach that utilizes natural resources to reap  sustainable environmental, economic and social benefits for  adap­tive management, helping to ensure that relationships  between land, water and plants are managed in ways that  mimic nature.},
