From the text...'In the Lake Tahoe Basin, organizations and individuals are leveraging the community's high interest in lake clarity and fire danger to construct complex, dynamic models for adaptive management. Models show citizens how the ecosystem works so that they can make intelligent decisions about the desired future condition of their ecosystem and determine how the costs and benefits will be distributed....People concerned about fire hazard want to learn how to reduce this danger (Welch 1997), and they understand that fire may be a tool for restoring forest and ecosystem health. To manage the ecosystem means to understand and govern all the fluxes of all nutrients, sediments, and fire through the basin.' © Society of American Foresters. Abstract reproduced by permission.
