“…All other notations for species richness and evenness are as described above. See Nickerson and Thibodeau (1984) and Thibodeau and Nickerson (1986) for further discussion on the use of these standard measures of ecological description.…”

“…For 1976 and 1982, data and results from one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were obtained from Nickerson and Thibodeau (1984) and Thibodeau and Nickerson (1986). Data generated from the 1987 research in the wooded swamp and shrub/bog wetland were first log transformed to meet the assumptions of normality (Kleinbaum and Kupper 1978).…”

“…While values for evenness were similar, there was a statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) in richness values in the three treatments by the tenth year (Figure 2), again due to a significantly higher value for the new right-of-way (Tukey's HSD, P < 0.05). See Thibodeau and Nickerson (1986) for further discussion of the results for the two years prior to and five years following construction of the power transmission lines. …”

/ Utility rights-of-way corridors through wetland areas generate long-term impacts from construction activities to these valuable ecosystems. Changes to and recovery of the vegetation communities of a cattail marsh, wooded swamp, and shrub/bog wetland were documented through measurements made each growing season for two years prior, five years following, and again on the tenth year after construction of a 345-kV transmission line. While both the cattail marsh and wooded swamp recovered within a few years, measures of plant community composition in the shrub/bog wetland were still lower, compared to controls, after ten years. Long-term investigations such as the one reported here help decrease uncertainty and provide valuable information for future decision making regarding construction of power utility lines through valuable and dwindling wetland resources.

“…The impacts associated with the installation of trunk sewers in freshwater wetlands are generally temporary, lasting the construction timeframe and vegetation recovery time. It has been demonstrated that wetland vegetation recovers from pipeline installation within one to two years with proper soil handling and construction techniques (Thibodeau, 1986 andHonig, 1991). To prevent damage to the pipeline (from roots) and enable assess for maintenance purposes, the pipeline corridor will be maintained free of large vegetation.…”

“…To prevent damage to the pipeline (from roots) and enable assess for maintenance purposes, the pipeline corridor will be maintained free of large vegetation. Forested wetlands along the pipeling corridor would be replaced by wetlands of different plant associations (emergent or small shrub vegetation) however, species ccmposition recovers to be as diverse and rich as the original plant ccmuninty (Thibodeau, 1986).…”

Why does Faithful Epistemic Representation Matter for Management Practices? The Case of the Natural Environment in Management Theory

Management theory is a diverse field where multiple theoretical perspectives coexist and coevolve, leading to conceptual pluralism. While conceptual pluralism is useful for grasping different aspects of the complex reality we live in, it may limit the further development of knowledge on elemental concepts. In this article, we focus on knowledge on the natural environment (NE) in management theory. We argue that management scholars and practitioners often rely on theoretical lenses that tend to reify the NE, thereby limiting the conceptualization of some of the essential properties of the NE. Drawing on the example of the conceptual development of the ecosystem services (ES) at the intersection of economics and biology, we identify the advantages and the limits of interdisciplinary theory-building and testing. Finally, we discuss how tools from the philosophy of science can be useful for proposing a way forward for integrating reliable knowledge on the natural environment in management theory.
