Annotation, Introducing the notion of 'expert knowledge' and examining its role in applications relevant to landscape ecology, this book uses case studies to address a range of topics of interest to landscape ecologists, resource management and conservation professionals
Inhalt:
Typically, landscape ecologists use empirical observations to conduct research and devise solutions for applied problems in conservation and management. In some instances, they rely on advice and input of experienced professionals in both developing and applying knowledge. Given the wealth of expert knowledge and the risks of its informal and implicit applications in landscape ecology, it is necessary to formally recognize and characterize expert knowledge and bring rigor to methods for its applications. In this context, the broad goal of this book is to introduce the concept of expert knowled
