Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review (2016, background): “…the environment under the effects of ecological processes and farming practices; (iii) the difficulty, if not impossibility, of controlling all management practices within a group of farms; and (iv) the stochastic, and thus unpredictable, character of certain ecological processes (Williams 2011).”
Adaptive management of biological systems: A review (2013, methodology): “We chose words that were indicative of three topics of interest: applications of AM to biodiversity conservation (see McCarthy and Possingham, 2007; McDonald-Madden et al., 2010b), the importance of social engagement (e.g. Armitage et al., 2009), and methodological issues (e.g. Williams, 2011a).”
The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems: Motivations, Challenges, and Applications (2015, background): “Conservation Letters published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 9 RLEs can support adaptive management strategies (Williams 2011), for example by informing sustainable allocations of water resources to environmental flows and agricultural production, or the zonation and quotas in fisheries management…”
Learning in Adaptive Management: Insights from Published Practice (2014, background): “With such wide-ranging possibilities associated with it, many natural resource management agencies, realizing the intricacies of social-ecological systems management, have embraced adaptive management (Runge 2011, Williams 2011).”
