Abstract/Summary:
Most people involved in resource management have heard of adaptive management (AM), and many claim to practice it, but few seem to really understand it. Many have a general notion that it involves adapting policies and procedures based on results, but it is a misperception that AM simply comprises “adapting as you go” based on trial and error. In this chapter we intend to shed some light on this tremendously powerful tool and to illustrate its enormous benefits for ecosystem restoration.
