Adaptive Management: The U.S. Department of the Interior Applications Guide

Adaptive management is a means of facilitating decision making and helping to resolve the uncertainties that hinder effective management. This applications guide builds on the framework of the DOI Adaptive Management Technical Guide (Williams et al. 2007), presenting case studies to show how adaptive management can be used for both management and learning. Focus is on practical applications in the areas of importance to DOI managers—climate change, water, energy, and human impacts on the landscape.
