| Abstract: |
'Managing for diversity' is the code of today's land managers, but in many cases 'managing weeds' would be a more accurate description of what actually goes on in the field. Our love for diversity, friends, is an ecological trap. Conservation often speaks loftily of preserving “biological diversity and genetic diversity” as if the meaning and application of these concepts were self-evident. In reality, the scale and content of biological diversity are often far from clear. |
