Reconciling Working Landscapes on State and Federal Lands with Endangered Species Act Requirements: Emerging Governance Surrounding Beaver-Related Watershed Restoration in Oregon

Creator:: Pike-Urlacher, Zach R.
Abstract:: Reconciling working landscapes with Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements is a vexing challenge playing out in watersheds across the western United States. Beaver-related watershed restoration (BRR) methodologies have the potential to reconcile competing demands for resource extraction and recovery of ESA-listed species by restoring ecosystem functionality more effectively and at...

Investing upstream : a social-ecological systems perspective on water utility investments in ecosystem services

Creator:: Bennett, Drew E.
Abstract:: The concept of ecosystem services broadens perspectives on nature to include not only intrinsic value but also the utilitarian value it provides to society.

Ready for Anything: Adaptive Capacity in Western States' Water Plans

Creator:: Cogan, Leah R.
Abstract:: In the western United States, climate change is likely to bring greater uncertainty and extreme events outside the range for which water infrastructure, governance, and allocation mechanisms have been designed. In addition, many water systems already struggle with issues of institutional fragmentation, ineffective governance, and unsustainable management practices. Adaptive capacity,...

Fostering social-ecological resilience in the Upper Klamath Basin : The National Riparian Service Team's Creeks and Communities strategy and an emerging model for government in adaptive co-management

Creator:: Paulekas, Robyn N.
Abstract:: Social-ecological resilience theory is part of a new paradigm for understanding and managing complex coupled human-ecological systems. The theory aims to inform explorations of a system’s ability to withstand disturbance while maintaining its critical functions. Adaptive co-management has been proposed as a governance mechanism that can enhance resiliency by combining...

Reallocating resources, rebuilding community : the Klamath Basin agreements and the emergence of adaptive governance

Creator:: Chaffin, Brian C.
Abstract:: The concept of "adaptive governance" represents a spectrum of hybrid approaches to environmental governance employed to guide management of complex social-ecological systems under conditions of high uncertainty. While the concept of adaptive governance has benefited from over a decade of theoretical development, empirical examples of transitions towards adaptive governance are...
