Here, we expand on the term “ecomimicry” to be an umbrella concept for an approach to adaptive ecosystem-based management of social-ecological systems that simultaneously optimizes multiple ecosystem services for the benefit of people and place. In this context, we define ecomimicry as a strategy for developing and managing cultural landscapes, built upon a deep understanding of the structure and function of ecosystems, that harnesses ecosystem processes for the purpose of balancing and sustaining key ecosystem services, rather than maximizing one service (e.g., food production) to the detriment of others. Ecomimicry arises through novel, place-based innovations or is adopted from elsewhere and adapted to local conditions. Similarly, precontact Hawaiian socialecological systems integrated a variety of ecomimicry schema to engender a complex system of adaptive resource management that enhanced biocultural diversity and supported resilient food systems, ultimately sustaining a thriving human population. In addition to presenting a synopsis of how ecomimicry was employed in the design and management of Hawaiian social-ecological systems, we identify and characterize specific ecomimicry applications. Within this context, we explore a revival of ecomimicry for biological conservation, biocultural restoration, resilience, and food security. We conclude with a discussion of how revitalizing such an approach in the restoration of social-ecological systems may address issues of conservation and sustainability in the Anthropocene.

土著资源管理中的生态学：优化生态系统服务以实现资源丰富，以夏威夷为例

在这里，我们将“生态学”这个术语扩展为一个综合性概念，它是一种基于生态系统的适应性社会生态系统管理方法，该方法同时优化多种生态系统服务，以造福人类和地方。在这种情况下，我们将生态学定义为一种开发和管理文化景观的战略，它建立在对生态系统结构和功能的深刻理解之上，它利用生态系统过程来平衡和维持关键的生态系统服务，而不是最大化一种服务（例如，粮食生产）损害他人利益。生态学是通过新颖的、基于地方的创新产生的，或者是从其他地方采用并适应当地条件的。相似地，预接触夏威夷社会生态系统整合了各种生态学模式，以产生一个复杂的适应性资源管理系统，该系统增强了生物文化多样性并支持有弹性的食物系统，最终维持了繁荣的人口。除了介绍如何在夏威夷社会生态系统的设计和管理中使用生态学的概要外，我们还确定并描述了特定的生态学应用。在此背景下，我们探索了生物保护、生物文化恢复、复原力和粮食安全的生态学复兴。我们最后讨论了在恢复社会生态系统中振兴这种方法如何解决人类世的保护和可持续性问题。
