Williams, B. K., R. C. Szaro, and C. D. Shapiro. 2009. Adaptive Management: The U.S. Department of <br />the Interior Technical Guide. Adaptive Management Working Group, U.S. Department of the Interior, <br />Washington, D.C. <br />The Department of the Interior (DOI) Adaptive Management Working Group (AMWG) sponsored the <br />development of this technical guide to clearly and consistently define adaptive management and describe condi- <br />tions for its implementation. AMWG membership includes representatives from across DOI's bureaus and <br />offices. A writing team of resource managers, technical experts, and other specialists worked with AMWG to <br />address four basic questions concerning adaptive management: (1) What is adaptive management? (2) When <br />should it be used? (3) How should it be implemented? (4) How can its success be recognized and measured? <br />These questions were used to organize both the writing effort and the structure of the guide itself, with indi- <br />vidual chapters addressing each of the questions. The authors sought to describe adaptive management at an <br />appropriate level of technical detail, while remaining focused on its definition, operational components, and <br />conditions in which it applies. <br />http: / /www. doi. gov /initiatives /AdaptiveMan aV,ement /TechGuide. pdf <br />164 Annotated Bibliography <br />
