Resource Use and Management

The primary issue is efficient use of resources (biota, land, water, and minerals) while promoting sustainable agricultural, forestry and aquatic ecosystems, and a high quality of life.

The key research topics seek to:

1. Link management and research on a variety of spatial and temporal scales
2. Create a science base that promotes and enables sustainable natural resource use
3. Develop a management and science base that allows an integration across various landscapes and seascapes
