Title
From measurement to management: evidence-based practice in natural resource management
Abstract
Ecologists aim to answer fundamental scientific questions regarding the natural world, sometimes with incomplete data. Resource managers make practical decisions about natural resources, nearly always with incomplete data. Our goal is to make research data and results more available to managers who decide which forest stands to harvest and which trees to leave. We are building tools to: 1) represent ecological values and indicators, and relate those to research data, and 2) characterize tree canopy shape. We extend prior NSF work, which resulted in ecology research tools, and "re-purpose" data sets and research results. Our work addresses information technology problems identified by computer scientists, ecologists, and resource managers at government and non-government organizations [1], in particular, data presentation, data quality, and indicators.
