摘要
使用宏观生态模式可以反映出人类参与生态系统的正常和非正常水平。这个模式也提供了达到和保持生态系统健康和可持续性的一致的和客观的指导。本文集中于这类指导和管理的一致性。这样的管理,与现在的管理实践形成尖锐的对比,以确保我们作为个人、机构、政治团体、社会以及作为一个物种一致应用于所有的时间的、空间的和机构性的尺度的行动。这个方法替代今天的管理,其不一致性来源于争论、政治、法律和宗教的对立。当人类活动是有自然规律引导的时候就会达到一致性。基于规律的管理符合文明管理的长久的需求,这需要人类以一致的和可持续的方式参与复杂的系统。
Normal and abnormal levels of humanparticipation in ecosystems can be revealed through the use of macroecological patterns.Such patterns also provide consistent and objective guidance that will lead to acnieving and maintaining ecosystem health and sustainability. This paper focuses on the consistency of this type of guidance and management.Such management,in sharp contrast to current management practices,ensures that our actions as individuals,institutions,political groups,societies,and as a species are applied consistently across all temporal,spatial,and organizational scales.This approach supplants management of today,where inconsistency results from debate,politics,and legal and religious polarity.Consistency is achieved when human endeavors are guided by natural patterns.Pattern-based management meets long-standing demands for enlightened management that requires humans to participate in complex systems in consistent and sustainable ways.
