ABSTRACT Ecosystem monitoring often fails to provide the right information to evaluate and guide environmental stewardship due to a lack of diagnostic capacity, long-term operational resources, explicit monitoring objectives and rigorous sampling designs. Our objective is to describe a monitoring framework that addresses these failures by including causative conceptual models and the concepts of adaptive monitoring and management. Resources are rarely available to monitor all ecosystem components, so identifying priorities is vital for the success of a monitoring program. An ecological risk assessment combining available information and expert opinion on threats and their consequences to the ecosystem can be used to prioritise monitoring and identify explicit objectives. A Pressure-Stressor-Response conceptual model forms the causative understanding of the ecosystem and the model components underpin the factors in the risk assessment. In this way, field sampling can validate the priority of ecosystem threats; provide information for refinement of conceptual understandings and guide efficient management activity. Repeated risk assessments using updated data and information can identify successful management and the increase and establishment of threats. Updated risk assessments can change threat priorities and therefore monitoring and assessment hypotheses and objectives can change. This ability to change underlies the concepts of adaptive monitoring and management.

使用致病性概念模型的自适应监测:评估水生生态系统的生态完整性

摘要由于缺乏诊断能力,长期运营资源,明确的监测目标和严格的抽样设计,生态系统监测往往无法提供正确的信息来评估和指导环境管理。我们的目标是通过包含因果关系的概念模型以及自适应监视和管理的概念来描述解决这些故障的监视框架。很少有资源可用于监视生态系统的所有组成部分,因此,确定优先级对于监视程序的成功至关重要。生态风险评估结合了有关威胁及其对生态系统的后果的可用信息和专家意见,可用于确定监测的优先级并确定明确的目标。压力-压力-响应概念模型形成了对生态系统的因果关系理解,模型组成部分支撑了风险评估中的因素。通过这种方式,现场采样可以验证生态系统威胁的优先级;提供信息以完善概念理解并指导有效的管理活动。使用更新的数据和信息进行的重复风险评估可以确定成功的管理以及威胁的增加和建立。更新的风险评估可以更改威胁的优先级,因此监视和评估的假设和目标也可以更改。这种变化的能力是自适应监视和管理概念的基础。现场采样可以验证生态系统威胁的优先级;提供信息以完善概念理解并指导有效的管理活动。使用更新的数据和信息进行的重复风险评估可以确定成功的管理以及威胁的增加和建立。更新的风险评估可以更改威胁的优先级,因此监视和评估的假设和目标也可以更改。这种变化的能力是自适应监视和管理概念的基础。现场采样可以验证生态系统威胁的优先级;提供信息以完善概念理解并指导有效的管理活动。使用更新的数据和信息进行的重复风险评估可以确定成功的管理以及威胁的增加和建立。更新的风险评估可以更改威胁的优先级,因此监视和评估的假设和目标也可以更改。这种变化的能力是自适应监视和管理概念的基础。更新的风险评估可以更改威胁的优先级,因此监视和评估的假设和目标也可以更改。这种变化的能力是自适应监视和管理概念的基础。更新的风险评估可以更改威胁的优先级,因此监视和评估的假设和目标也可以更改。这种变化的能力是自适应监视和管理概念的基础。
