Managing uncertainty important in ecological balance: ASU researcher
Date:2/17/2008

eraction degrading resilience are more numerous.

If uncertainty can never fully be eliminated from our understanding of nature, then scientists, decision makers and the public must consider it in their deliberations and ask what risks they are willing to take in managing the worlds ecological systems.

Uncertainty can and should influence management decisions, Kinzig says. Our perceptions about the robustness or vulnerability of nature may be wrong. If we have as our model that nature is fragile, and it isnt, what opportunities do we miss? If we perceive it to be robust, and it isnt, what consequences do we suffer?
