政府实体负责管理和保护大量的湖泊、河流和湿地生态系统，这些生态系统很少能够在个案基础上得到解决。我们提出了一个系统的预测分类建模，接地景观湖沼学的理论基础，创建一个易于处理的生态系统类，管理行动可能是量身定制的。我们证明了我们的系统，应用两种类型的预测分类建模方法，以制定营养标准，在1998年北温带湖泊富营养化管理。我们的预测分类系统促进了跨广泛的地理尺度的多个生态系统的有效管理，明确连接管理和保护目标的分类建模方法，考虑多个空间尺度作为生态系统动态的驱动因素，并承认淡水生态系统的层次结构。这样一个系统对于适应性管理复杂的淡水生态系统和在不断变化的世界中平衡对生态系统服务的相互竞争的需求至关重要。
Governmental entities are responsible for managing and conserving large numbers of lake, river, and wetland ecosystems that can be addressed only rarely on a case-by-case basis. We present a system for predictive classification modeling, grounded in the theoretical foundation of landscape limnology, that creates a tractable number of ecosystem classes to which management actions may be tailored. We demonstrate our system by applying two types of predictive classification modeling approaches to develop nutrient criteria for eutrophication management in 1998 north temperate lakes. Our predictive classification system promotes the effective management of multiple ecosystems across broad geographic scales by explicitly connecting management and conservation goals to the classification modeling approach, considering multiple spatial scales as drivers of ecosystem dynamics, and acknowledging the hierarchical structure of freshwater ecosystems. Such a system is critical for adaptive management of complex mosaics of freshwater ecosystems and for balancing competing needs for ecosystem services in a changing world.
