Cultivating commitment
Parks and protected areas (PPAs) are crucial for providing society with essential ecosystem services, encompassing both tangible and intangible benefits derived from healthy ecosystems. While previous research has predominantly focused on material-based ecosystem services, limited attention has been devoted to the impact of non-material cultural ecosystem services (CES), such as recreation and cultural-historic aspects, on visitor loyalty. Visito…
Creating a quantitative, ecosystem-service-based index of nature in the highly urbanized and arid Los Angeles County
Before evaluating the abundance and quality of nature in a city, one must define the concept of nature according to resident experience and climatological conditions. For Los Angeles (L.A.) County, home to a sociologically diverse and highly developed city in a Mediterranean climate that experienced drought conditions for the last decade, this represents a formidable theoretical and empirical challenge. In support of an Integrated Vulnerability A…
Scale Matters
Interdisciplinary science and environmental management involve bringing together data and expertise at multiple spatial scales. The most challenging part of merging scales is aligning the scale of inquiry with the research application. Through the Louisiana case study relating wetland loss and commercial fishing, we examine how the nature and strength of the relationship changes depending on the scale of investigation. Resulting management implic…
Engaged minority or quiet majority? Social intentions and actions related to offshore wind energy development in the United States
Collecting Food, Cultivating People
Cultivating Food, Cultivating People challenges many of the historical narratives researchers often hold up in explaining the development of food systems. First, the region of focus, the Botatwe-speaking part of central Africa, has largely been left out of these narratives because of its unusual dispersed political structure. Second, the book pushes readers to ask why a culture may choose a certain type of food system. This decision may not invol…
Visions of wilderness in the North Bay communities of California
The Wilderness Act of 1964 defines American wilderness as “untrammeled” and remains the guiding law in wilderness management despite harsh critiques of the concept in the intervening 50 years. In the North Bay region of California, the “untrammeled” designation is part of a matrix of protected lands that makes its way into the daily lives of local residents. Using three such cases, a Visions of the Wild festival, the drawn‐out legal battle over a…
Factors Determining Participation Quality in Collaborative Water Quality Research
The gold standard for citizen science projects that both integrate multiple ways of knowing and innovate new knowledge and solutions are fully collaborative research endeavors where scientists and citizens work as equals at all stages of research. Beyond equitable structure, there are key factors within each collaborative project that help determine success. Using a case study of a collaborative research project between fishermen and scientists i…
Naming, Framing, and Blaming
The Promise of Solutions from Increasing Diversity in Ways of Knowing
The number of terms used for historically unrepresented types of knowledge in environmental management is large and growing. The emphasis on these “new” perspectives reflects a shift in how society values different ways of knowing. A primary reason behind this recognition of value is that fresh perspectives offer new problem framings, approaches to solutions, and linkages to other issues. Successes in collaborating across multiple knowledge domai…
