Information technologies for rangeland monitoring:what do they need to address ?

摘要：

Key points:We advocate that the success of rangeland monitoring can be enhanced with the development of a more encompassing conceptual framework, in addition to greater technological capacity. Important conceptual constraints include ambiguous monitoring goals, minimal integration of scientific, professional and local knowledge, the inability to address multiple ecological scales, and the absence of comprehensive monitoring‐management‐policy networks. Ecological resilience is proposed as a platform to integrate the complexity of social and biophysical systems and to link local, professional and scientific knowledge sources. We outline the components of a comprehensive monitoring framework that is based on a mutual commitment to collaborative learning and action among multiple stakeholders to promote social‐ecological resilience.
