摘要: Communication among managers, the public, and scientists is key to successful ecosystem management; however, varied perspectives interests of these groups can make such communication difficult. One way achieve effective develop a common knowledge base by combining syntheses scientific results with information-rich visual elements. Within management landscape, integrated environmental assessments provide useful framework for evaluating resources directing efforts. The assessment process involves (1) initial investigation, (2) development conceptual framework, (3) data navigation, (4) report cards, (5) science communication. Each step requires synthesis visualization information on status trends connected multiple natural resources. We case study, using examples from selected National Park Service sites in mid-Atlantic region United States. Visual elements (conceptual d...
