Monitoring in the Context of Structured Decision‐Making and Adaptive Management

摘要: Abstract In a natural resource management setting, monitoring is crucial component of an informed process for making decisions, and design should be driven by the decision context associated uncertainties. Monitoring itself can play ≥3 roles. First, it important state-dependent decision-making, as when managers need to know system state before deciding on appropriate course action during ensuing cycle. Second, critical evaluating effectiveness actions relative objectives. Third, in adaptive provides feedback loop learning about system; sought not its own sake but primarily better achieve this case, designed reduce uncertainties models managed system.
