"It's a very positive step by the city, because it's putting responsibility into the hands of the Parks Department, which has the background and tradition of managing for natural resources," said David J. Miller, executive director of Audubon New York.
Deliberately managing for natural processes to proceed unimpeded may also be important for maintaining or increasing forest heterogeneity, resilience, and biodiversity.
It is only possible to protect the trees on a meaningful scale when parks and reserves are part of a broader protected landscape that is managed for multiple natural values.
Marc Seidner, managing director for domestic fixed income, received $6.3 million; Stanley Zuzic, senior vice president for domestic equities, got $4.9 million; Steven Alperin, managing director for emerging market equities, $4.4 million; and Andrew Wiltshire, managing director for natural resources, $3.9 million.
By enhancing the ecosystem services of biological pest control, this study shows that increasing both plant diversity and managing habitats for natural enemies may reduce aphid populations, hence insecticide use.
Natural resources are officially managed for the benefit of the people of Uganda.
Managing for stock diversity and natural connectivity among subpopulations may also be an important consideration for stock resilience and recovery, as dispersal between subpopulations in Lake Michigan may have contributed to the rapid recovery of life history traits following the moratorium.
Ecological studies combined with managers' expertise reveal several categories of approaches for managing natural systems for resilience in the face of disturbance.
This paper synthesizes studies published to date from five functionally important trophic groups, herbivores, pathogens, pollinators, predators, and seed dispersers, and discusses evidence for spillover from managed to natural systems in all five groups.
