Sustainability and optimization of rangeland uses: issues of perspective and scale
Numerous environmental factors that influence sustainable provision of rangeland commodities and ecosystem services are undergoing rapid, unprecedented change.Stakeholders making claims on rangeland products are increasingly diverse and contribute to policy decisions that shift management priorities.Many of the environmental processes and stakeholder demands transcend traditional rangeland delineation.Challenges to sustainability and optimization of rangeland uses emerge as temporal and spatial scales of management expand.Scientific insight regarding these emergent issues is a limiting factor to adaptive management attempts to reconcile social, economic, and ecological considerations in ways that are compatible with sustainability goals.Broadening the scope of scientific inquiry to more effectively integrate issues of perspective and scale can enhance the effectiveness of adaptive rangeland management.
