The clear evidence of the accumulating impacts of anthropogenic actions on the Earth system is driving researchers to look to historical data as a resource for understanding the present and predicting the future. In the conservation science literature, using historical sources usually refers to data mining “the past” using the scientific methods of historical ecology. This article considers the often overlooked methodological challenges of sourcing and interpreting historical data. A schema is provided for conservation scientists, summarizing the kinds of questions and metadata required to work rigorously with historical data. This will improve the accuracy of the data we use to construct trends to inform our understanding of the conservation status of particular species and ecosystems. It will also deepen our understanding of the interplays of factors influencing policy and management in particular social‐ecological contexts.

修改后的血统:严格使用历史证据进行保护

人类活动对地球系统的累积影响的明确证据正促使研究人员将历史数据作为了解当前和预测未来的资源。在保护科学文献中,使用历史资料通常是指使用历史生态学的科学方法进行数据挖掘“过去”。本文考虑了在寻找和解释历史数据时经常被忽视的方法论挑战。为保护科学家提供了一个模式,总结了严格处理历史数据所需的各种问题和元数据。这将提高我们用于构建趋势的数据的准确性,从而有助于我们了解特定物种和生态系统的保护状况。
