随着世界人口的增长和发展对生态系统的压力，研究人员需要复杂和综合的方法来进行可持续性研究。我们概述了一个混合的方法实用的可持续性研究框架，定义为一个平等优先的社会生态方法，社区参与和综合生物多样性评估，以确定可持续性的权衡。我们说明了该框架在调查新西兰温带红树林保护和砍伐之间的社会生态权衡方面的用途。我们使用了一个多阶段的混合方法设计，三个阶段，以产生知识，并确定社会生态权衡。我们的案例研究说明了当地红树林管理和区域沿海可持续发展的操作方法。事实证明，通过参与性研究与受生态系统变化影响的社区合作是知识交流和共同学习的关键。
With a rising world population and pressure on ecosystems due to development, researchers need sophisticated and integrated approaches for conducting sustainability research. We outline a mixed methods practical sustainability research framework, defined as an equal-priority social-ecological methodology, whereby both community engagement and integrated biodiversity assessments are constructed to identify sustainability trade-offs. We illustrate the framework's use for investigating the social-ecological trade-offs between preserving and removing temperate mangroves in New Zealand. We used a multistage mixed methods design with three stages to generate knowledge and identify social-ecological trade-offs. Our case study illustrates an operational approach for local mangrove management and regional coastal sustainability. Working with communities affected by ecosystem change through participatory research proved key to knowledge exchange and colearning.
