Adaptive Management Platform for Natural Resources in the Columbia River Basin.

[摘要] Adaptive management is a systematic and rigorous scientifically defensible program of learning from the outcomes of management actions, accommodating change, and improving management. The critical requirements and toolboxes of an information management framework, referred to as the Adaptive Management Platform (AMP), to realize the goal of adaptive management are described. The AMP design that connects various modules to ensure that the decision-making needs are met. The modules are data management, visualization tools, optimization algorithms, and models of Columbia Basin physical and biological processes. When fully developed, AMP will enable subbasin planners and responsible entities throughout the Basin to collectively and continuously integrate data and decisions, assess cumulative trends and outcomes over time, and demonstrate discipline and accountability. AMP would function at the basin, ecoprovince, as well as the subbasin scale. AMP would assist in ensuring that uncertainties from individual modules and analytical integration are properly presented to decision makers.
