Even though the existence of ecological thresholds is becoming increasingly apparent, this has not been followed by its widespread adoption and incorporation into management decisions and goals. The ability to move from theory to application and make threshold concepts a problem solving tool for natural resource management remains a daunting challenge. This book addresses this challenge and shows how threshold concepts can be integrated into conservation and land management decision making. 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aApplied ecology 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aApplied Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023 606 $aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400X 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aApplied ecology. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aApplied Ecology. 615 24$aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis. 676 $a333.7 676 $a363.7063 676 $a577 702 $aGuntenspergen$b Glenn R$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298376703321 996 $aApplication of Threshold Concepts in Natural Resource Decision Making$92521599 997 $aUNINA
