Impact network analysis and the INA R package: Decision support for regional management interventions

摘要: Abstract The success of intervention projects in ecological systems depends not only on the quality management technologies, but also patterns adoption among land managers. Impact network analysis (INA) is a new framework for evaluating likely regional interventions before, during, and after projects, project implementers, policy makers, funders. INA integrates across three key system components multilayer analysis: (a) technology research supporting it, (b) socioeconomic networks through which managers learn about technologies decide whether to use them, (c) linked biophysical target species or failure landscape that results from managers’ decisions. specific objectives this paper are (1) introduce R package, (2) illustrate identification nodes smart surveillance, where likelihood invasive entry into at given node may be based information available corresponding network, (3) application degree ecology, during an intervention, (4) adaptation strategies under global change scenarios with pulse press stressors, introducing ‘adaptation functions’ sustainability resilience. Examples package show one outcomes analyses: identifying when non-responsive readily changed decisions, explore what additional adaptations necessary success. broader goal development impact provide common enhance opportunities lessons learned scientific disciplines, support community practice, create general platform sustainability, resilience, economic viability ecology applications.
