EV-13:
Delivering
on the promise of ecological science to improve land management: Ecological site
descriptions, an informal discussion
Endorsed
by the ESA Rangeland Section
Wednesday,
August 10, 8 PM - 10 PM, Meeting Room
517a, Level 5, Palais des congrès de Montréal
Organizers:
Linda Wallace, Sam Fuhlendorf
Description:
Ecological
Site Descriptions have tremendous potential as a management tool and as a way to
integrate theoretical and applied knowledge. This session, sponsored by the
Rangeland Ecology Section, will bring together experts from across
North America
to present
their experiences in land management in a formal venue. The evening session will
bring these experts and members of the ESA together in an informal venue to
share experiences and learn from one another. Issues can include:
(1) What can theoreticians learn from management-oriented questions? (2)
What can managers use from the theoretical literature? (3) What are the most
pressing issues in land management? and (4) What information do political bodies
need from scientists to help in management of government lands? This is an
opportunity for direct interaction between government officials, scientists,
land managers, and rangeland ecologists.
