“…Species suffering from habitat fragmentation will benefit from employing genetic rescue to restore disrupted gene flow.

“…Assisted gene flow can be used as a strategy to facilitate local adaptation to climate change (Aitken and Whitlock, 2013). Plant conservation and restoration managers are encouraged to experiment with gene flow and to use prescriptive gene flow more often, employing adaptive management (e.g., Williams, 2011;Lien et al, 2021) with respect to gene flow levels and prescriptive population mixes (Sgrò et al, 2011). Collecting seeds and experimenting with seed mixes that represent different gene flow "distances" are important and sorely needed actions and are especially important to test now that range shifts related to climate are prominent.…”

Rules of Plant Species Ranges: Applications for Conservation Strategies

Earth is changing rapidly and so are many plant species’ ranges. Here, we synthesize eco-evolutionary patterns found in plant range studies and how knowledge of species ranges can inform our understanding of species conservation in the face of global change. We discuss whether general biogeographic “rules” are reliable and how they can be used to develop adaptive conservation strategies of native plant species across their ranges. Rules considered include (1) factors that set species range limits and promote range shifts; (2) the impact of biotic interactions on species range limits; (3) patterns of abundance and adaptive properties across species ranges; (4) patterns of gene flow and their implications for genetic rescue, and (5) the relationship between range size and conservation risk. We conclude by summarizing and evaluating potential species range rules to inform future conservation and management decisions. We also outline areas of research to better understand the adaptive capacity of plants under environmental change and the properties that govern species ranges. We advise conservationists to extend their work to specifically consider peripheral and novel populations, with a particular emphasis on small ranges. Finally, we call for a global effort to identify, synthesize, and analyze prevailing patterns or rules in ecology to help speed conservation efforts.

“…This transparency and meaningful participation are important components of effectiveness and legitimacy within adaptive governance structures (Hogl et al 2012, O'Donnell et al 2019, and gaps in their implementation can exacerbate the challenges of achieving good governance in multijurisdictional and multiscale systems (Badenoch 2002, Akamani andWilson 2011). This can also reduce trust, exacerbating preexisting conflict among actors when there are competing viewpoints (Lien et al 2021). Adaptive processes need to be sincere and understood by communities for effective engagement (Allan and Watts 2018).…”

Rivers and their interdependent human communities form social-ecologically complex systems that reflect basin scale functionally but are often governed by spatially mismatched governance systems. Accounting for this complexity requires flexible adaptive governance systems supported by legitimacy in decision-making processes. Meaningful community dialogue, information exchange, transparency, and scientific rigor are essential to this process. We examined failings in the adaptive governance of the Menindee Lakes system, a major Australian wetland system on the Barka/Darling River of the Murray-Darling Basin. Ecological sustainability of the Menindee Lakes was a casualty of a top-down governance, driven by the New South Wales Government in pursuit of "water savings" for the Murray-Darling Basin, a large scale, federally influenced region. We used quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze long-term social-ecological impacts and stakeholder perceptions of adaptive governance. State and federal government agencies failed basic processes of adaptive governance, ignoring local environmental sustainability in pursuit of basin scale objectives at great cost to governments, communities, humans, and non-humans. This resulted in the development of an ineffective, technocratic solution that lacked community input, leading to a complete loss of support by local communities, including traditional owners. We emphasize the importance of elements of scale in adaptive governance projects, if such projects are going to be effective and legitimate with consequences of coarse commitments to large spatial scale political and environmental objectives.

“…Thus, the experimental design, follow-up monitoring of a policy or other solution, and re-design for the next implementation round is useful for situations involving ecosystems, where there are numerous factors at play and uncertainty affecting the environment or resource. Lien et al (2021) summarizes the functions of adaptive management in the following Figure 5: As a separate idea, co-management -or collaborative management -"captures the idea that rights and responsibilities should be shared among those with a claim to the environment or a natural resource" (Plummer, 2009). While early definitions focused on power sharing between state and local (or indigenous) resource users, the concept has been broadened to include an array of participants and has been applied across several resource contexts.…”
