Lesson 2 Description |
AR Project Goals
Now that we've defined AR, we move out on a methodical path to attaining
it. That begins with the formulation of "goals," i.e., where are
we going? Restoration goals are unique to the ecological system in
question. They must be compatible with the supporting ecosystem
being manipulated. They must then, be encompassed by that system's
Natural Range of Variability (NRV). If outside of that NRV, whether by
design or lack of planning, resulting efforts don't qualify as
ecologically sound AR. We'll achieve satisfaction by dint of pure luck
only. A methodical goal-setting process is necessary to achieve program
compliance within the NRV.
In setting AR goals (desired future conditions), key
concepts to be considered in the ecosystem analysis are Value, Tolerance,
Vulnerability, Responsiveness, and Sustainability.
