and adopted from the 2004 NRC report Adaptive Management for Water Resources Project Planning: Adaptive management [is a decision process that] promotes flexible decision making that can be adjusted in the face of uncertainties as outcomes from management actions and other events become better understood.

. These models simulate and predict system responses to various management actions, and researchers and resource managers use the models' insights and predictions to make informed management decisions.

: In the context of the bison management plan and the modified preferred alternative, adaptive management means testing and validating with generally accepted scientific and management principles the proposed spatial and temporal separation risk management and other management actions. Under the adaptive management approach, future management actions could be ad justed, based on feedback from implementation of the proposed risk management actions.… By its nature, a plan using adaptive management requires monitoring and adjustments as new infor mation is obtained.

The structure of this framework appropriately links management actions to management objectives, specifies monitoring metrics to measure the responses to the actions, and specifies management responses to monitoring results. The annual reports are available online, with opportunity for public feedback.

As stated in the previous NRC report, adaptive management has "research designed to provide data to reduce areas of current uncertainty," and it means "conducting management activities as hypothesis tests." This corresponds to active adaptive management, which uses experimental management that focuses directly on learning, or "quasi-experimental management that focuses simultaneously on learning and achievement of management objectives" (Williams et al., 2009)

From page 106... ...
adaptive management tools to reduce brucellosis infection in cattle -- such as phasing out or eliminating some feedgrounds, using targeted elk population reductions, reducing spatial and temporal overlap of elk and cattle on ranges, applying physical barriers around feed -- are now being tested and learning will take place through monitoring. To the extent they are efficacious and cost-effective, they may become longer-term tools or manipulations until a better option becomes feasible.
