应对突发事件和不确定性是人类世的重大挑战之一，但生态系统管理受到现有政策和法律的限制，这些政策和法律不是为了应对当今加速的环境变化而制定的。在许多情况下，管理简单的监管标准导致了不利的结果，需要创新的方法来处理复杂的社会生态问题。我们强调在美国大平原的一个项目，在项目开始时实施了一个概念框架，从恢复力中出现的泛政府主义，以解决持续无法阻止北美中部从草到树的大规模过渡的问题。我们回顾了泛政府是如何应用的，政策改革的初步成果和证据，以及它可以作为一个有用的模式，以对比传统的生态系统管理方法的机遇和挑战。
Addressing unexpected events and uncertainty represents one of the grand challenges of the Anthropocene, yet ecosystem management is constrained by existing policy and laws that were not formulated to deal with today's accelerating rates of environmental change. In many cases, managing for simple regulatory standards has resulted in adverse outcomes, necessitating innovative approaches for dealing with complex social-ecological problems. We highlight a project in theUSGreat Plains where panarchy - a conceptual framework that emerged from resilience - was implemented at project onset to address the continued inability to halt large-scale transition from grass-to-tree dominance in central North America. We review how panarchy was applied, the initial outcomes and evidence for policy reform, and the opportunities and challenges for which it could serve as a useful model to contrast with traditional ecosystem management approaches.
