摘要
The recent Forum in this journal, Perspectives on Ecosystem Management, prompts a comment that may seem obvious: ecology, and associated environmental disciplines are, and will become more so, the undergirding sciences for ecosystem management-just as the health sciences are for medicine. But, the readiness of ecology for such applications is a matter of debate among leaders in the field, while it is being taken for granted, in terms of limited research support, by landscape managers. The ongoing manipulations (e.g., production, conservation, restoration) on federal lands can be a vehicle for needed research at management scales of space and time-if ecological scientists bring a consensus to, and initiate, collaborative planning with federal officials for a strategy to implement ecosystem management.
