Conventional methods used in the planning and management of human-landscape interactions fall far short of the needs of today’s land management professionals. The book Monitoring, Simulation, and Management of Visitor Landscapes, edited by Randy Gimblett and Hans Skov-Petersen, published by University of Arizona Press, presents a growing body of applied research that provides decision makers with tools to maintain the ecological integrity of public places by evaluating the impacts of humans in various landscapes across space and time. More information available on the book website. |
