TL;DR: The authors found that GIS maps play a significant role in how we frame and address natural resource management issues, and they can support the role of privileged knowledge as held by the map makers, typically scientists, and reinforce it by the de facto "map tyranny" that gives primacy to scientific worldviews.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework that integrates the ecological and social forces affecting landscapes past, present, and future is presented, and it is shown that the more humans push a system to depart from its historical range of variabiloity domain, the less likely it becomes that historical ranges will prove useful as benchmarks in recovering a system.

TL;DR: In this article, a recent project was designed to integrate social and ecological findings to investigate the important relationships between the state of ecological understanding of a region, the state state of the region's biodiversity, and the state region's social understanding of how it might be managed for biodiversity conservation into the future.

TL;DR: The emerging perspective of ecosystems as both non-equilibrium and dynamic fits aquatic ecosystems as well as terrestrial systems as mentioned in this paper, and watersheds have different potentials to provide habitat for given fish species because of variation in physical features.
