A structured process of flexible decision-making that incorporates learning from outcomes and new scientific information. The process facilitates decision-making by resource managers to manage and res [..]

The integration of programme design, management and monitoring to systematically test assumptions in order to adapt and learn

The application of scientific information and explicit feedback mechanisms to refine and improve future management decisions.

A type of forest land management in which, as an ongoing process, the monitoring of results of management decisions, in relation to sustaining ecosystem characteristics and changes in societal goals, is used to modify management approach.

A dynamic approach to forest management in which the effects of treatments and decisions are continually monitored and used, along with research results, to modify management on a continuing basis to ensure that objectives are being met. Gestion adaptative

A type of natural resource management that implies making decisions as part of an on-going process. Monitoring the results of actions will provide a flow of information that may indicate the need to c [..]

A management approach that involves monitoring the outcomes of a project or issue and, on the basis of the monitoring, improving the way the project is managed.

A management process involving a defined start position and a defined objective position, whereby the progress toward the objective can be measured, in order that judgments may be made as to degree of achievement reached and the process continued in the same or a revised form, or abandoned.

A continuing process of action-based planning, monitoring, researching, evaluating, and adjusting with the objective of improving implementation and achieving the goals of the selected alternative. (05 Dec 1998)

is a mechanism, with predictable environmental outcomes, that allows for sustainable groundwater allocation by varying annual limits seasonally, according to groundwater recharge.

a systematic way to manage resources while at the same time learning more about how to manage them better. Adaptive management is often characterised as “learning by doing”.

A systematic process for continually improving management policies and practices by learning from the outcomes of operational programs.

A systematic process for continually improving management policies and practices by learning from the outcomes of operational programs. Its most effective form-"active" adaptive management-e [..]

A process for implementing management decisions that requires monitoring of actions and adjustment of decisions based on results. Adaptive management applies scientific principles and methods to improve management decisions incrementally as experience is gained and in response to new scientific findings and societal changes.

An iterative method of decision making in the face of uncertainty that reduces uncertainty by continuous monitoring; used especially in the management of ecosystems etc

Involves the implementation of new or modified mitigation measures over the life of a project to address unanticipated environmental effects.The need for the implementation of adaptive management measures may be determined through an effective follow-up program.For French see gestion adaptative

The mode of operation in which an intervention (action) is followed by monitoring (learning), with the information then being used in designing and implementing the next intervention (acting again) to [..]
