Challenges and opportunities for assisted regional ecosystem adaptation: International experience and implications for adaptation research.

Maintaining the functional integrity of ecosystems as climate pressures exceed natural rates of adaptation requires new knowledge and new approaches to governance and management. However, research into management interventions to assist regional ecosystem adaptation has generated both scientific and...
