Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
It is not uncommon for landscape ecologists to rely on advice and input of experienced professionals, albeit informally, in conducting research and devising solutions for applied problems in conservation and management.
Given the wealth of expert knowledge available and the risks of its ad-hoc and implicit application in landscape ecology, it is essential to formalize the use of expert knowledge and establish rigor in methodology.
In this context, Expert Knowledge and Its Application in Landscape Ecology explores several questions: who are experts; what is expert knowledge; and how is it elicited, characterized, and applied. It contains:
· An introduction to the concept of experts and expert knowledge for landscape ecologists
· A series of research studies on methods of expert knowledge capture and applications in conservation biology, wildlife ecology, forest succession, wildland fire, ecoregionalization, and marine ecosystems; from Australia, Canada, and USA
· A synthesis of the state of knowledge on expert knowledge in landscape ecology, with a review of the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating expert knowledge in landscape ecological applications.
The book is written for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in landscape ecology, focusing on conservation and management of terrestrial and marine resources.

Expert Knowledge and Its Application in Landscape Ecology
Anbieter: killarneybooks, Inagh, CLARE, Irland
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiv + 307 pages, NOT ex-library. Limited signs of gentle handling wear, short creases to board corners. Interior is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume addresses the critical challenge of systematically incorporating qualitative human expertise into the quantitative discipline of landscape ecology, particularly in scenarios where empirical data is scarce or incomplete. The book provides a structured, scientific framework for the entire process, guiding the reader from the cognitive psychology of expert judgment to practical application. It details various formal techniques for knowledge elicitation, such as structured interviews and the Delphi method, and offers rigorous procedures for encoding this information for use in analytical models. A significant focus is placed on the application of Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a powerful tool for synthesizing expert judgment with existing data, while transparently managing inherent uncertainties and cognitive biases. With case studies in areas like wildlife habitat modeling and forest management, the work serves as an essential guide for researchers and practitioners seeking to transform informal opinion into a transparent, defensible, and scientifically valid component of ecological research and decision-making.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Typically, landscape ecologists use empirical observations to conduct research and devise solutions for applied problems in conservation and management. In some instances, they rely on advice and input of experienced professionals in both developing and applying knowledge. Given the wealth of expert knowledge and the risks of its informal and implicit applications in landscape ecology, it is necessary to formally recognize and characterize expert knowledge and bring rigor to methods for its applications. In this context, the broad goal of this book is to introduce the concept of expert knowledge and examine its role in landscape ecological applications. We plan to do so in three steps: First we introduce the topic to landscape ecologists, explore salient characteristics of experts and expert knowledge, and describe methods used in capturing and formalizing that knowledge. Second, we present examples of research in landscape ecology from a variety of ecosystems and geographic locations that formally incorporate expert knowledge. These case studies address a range of topics that will interest landscape ecologists and other resource management and conservation professionals including the specific roles of expert knowledge in developing, testing, parameterizing, and applying models; estimating the uncertainty in expert knowledge; developing methods of formalizing and incorporating expert knowledge; and using expert knowledge as competing models and a source of alternate hypotheses. Third, we synthesize the state of knowledge on this topic and critically examine the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating expert knowledge in landscape ecological applications. The disciplinary subject areas we address are broad and cover much of the scope of contemporary landscape ecology, including broad-scale forest management and conservation, quantifying forest disturbances and succession, conservation of habitats for a range of avian and mammal species, vulnerability and conservation of marine ecosystems, and the spread and impacts of invasive plants. This text incorporates the collective experience and knowledge of over 35 researchers in landscape ecology representing a diverse range of disciplinary subject areas and geographic locations. Through this text, we will catalyze further thought and investigations on expert knowledge among the target readership of researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in landscape ecology. 324 pp. Englisch.
