DESCRIPTION:
在过去的二十年里, 本土树皮甲虫的爆发已经杀死了北美西部数百万公顷的针叶林. Model predictions suggest that the geographic range of bark beetles will expand to higher latitudes and elevations during the 21st Century, 受气候变暖影响. 严重的甲虫干扰改变了森林的组成和结构, 改变生物地球化学循环, 改变景观对野火的易感性. 这对社会制度的影响是相当大的, 包括商品木材的损失吗, 水质和水量的变化, 房地产贬值, 旅游收入下降, 景观美学受损. 在北美西部, beetle-impacted landscapes are mostly found on public lands and management efforts have focused on reducing forest vulnerability through selective harvest and application of insecticide treatments. 人们普遍认为，这次疫情的规模和严重程度是前所未有的. However, establishing the precedence of this outbreak requires longer-term data and currently no such records exist that provide context for land managers, stakeholders, 公共政策制定者. 尽管存在这些挑战, the visibility of the ongoing outbreak presents a crucial opportunity to advance our understanding of the social-ecological dynamics of bark beetle disturbances. The Bark Beetle working group aims to capitalize on this opportunity by identifying key knowledge gaps in our understanding of the social-environmental linkages of past, present, 以及未来树皮甲虫的干扰.

治理工作组在2013年首届MtnSEON年会上成立, by Greg Greenwood, Sandra Pinel, and Mike Evans, 解决如何做出决策的结构和过程，以及科学如何适应机构之间的复杂过程, 地方和部落政府, scientists, 以及其他知识和行动的来源. 该集团在国际上发展壮大. 通过论文的发展, 会议和贝尔蒙特论坛拨款提案, the group is applying a social ecological systems framework and engaged research methodology to the following two research questions: 1) How can scientific information support equitable and effective decision-making toward resilience? and 2) How are institutions developed at multiple scales to apply science and local and indigenous knowledge in decisions to address the persistent problems of scale and inequitable local capacity in complex peri-urban and rural regions? 该项目首先综合了法律研究中的制度分析框架, watershed governance, political economy, and regional planning and then applies the framework to draw lessons from comparing case studies of watershed governance in metropolitan and rural mountain landscapes.

DESCRIPTION:
入侵物种工作小组正试图建立更完整的物种, trans-disciplinary approaches to the research and management of invasive plant species in complex ecological and agricultural regions like the Intermountain West. Specifically, we are interested in how re-envisioning the process of plant invasions as a social-ecological system can reveal more relevant research directions and, ultimately, 改善管理策略和结果.

DESCRIPTION:
创建SESTEP工作组是为了开发一个工作模型, proposed curriculum, and proposal to US federal and private granting agencies to establish a Social Ecological Systems Training and Education Program (SESTEP) and graduate certificate. SESTEP的想法源于山区研究教育 I [AZ1] 规划研讨会，由MtnSEON领导团队于2014年5月主持. 在该次会议上，对建立培训联邦政府的机制表示了强烈的协商一致意见, tribal, state, 以及当地政府管理专业人士, 以及学术界和非政府组织人员, 在SES的理论和实践中应用于资源管理问题. SESTEP aims to answer this call by creating a certificate-granting program that aims to build capacity among natural resource managers and professionals. SESTEP将采用适应性和参与性培训方法, 因此，参与者群体内部的固有知识将增强学习能力(例如.g.(反馈循环)，并帮助改进可用于自然资源管理的SES工具.
SESTEP是一个针对处理复杂自然资源管理问题的专业人员的培训项目, 比如多用途森林, climate change, 水资源管理. SESTEP旨在培养管理人员的能力, professionals, 和研究生水平的学生解决土地和自然资源管理. SESTEP培训适用于各级管理人员, including federal, state, 以及当地政府管理专业人士, 部落土地管理者, town planners, academics, and NGO personnel. SESTEP参与者将获得专业证书, 可选5个学分, 在蒙大拿大学自学成才, 6-week course. 该培训包括面对面、虚拟和实地学习模块.
