Abstract

The rangeland science discipline has produced innovative science, datasets, maps, and tools to support rangeland conservation and management, such as those presented in this issue. Yet, there is a persistent gap between science production and on-the-ground implementation of conservation and management actions, and many managers remain in “information overload” while struggling to integrate technical products into management applications. Technical transfer seeks to overcome these barriers and empower land managers to address their land management challenges. We present a principle-based process for conducting effective technical transfer based on the collective experience of a network of technical transfer professionals and highlight an example of this process with Threat-Based Strategic Conservation workshops. We describe how much of the work of technical transfer occurs before any actions are taken, provide best practices for conducting technical transfer, and suggest steps to take after an effort to learn from and perpetuate technical transfer work. We provide considerations and insights for conducting effective technical transfer to support conservation and management in rangelands and beyond.
跨越鸿沟:利用技术转让架起科学生产与管理行动的桥梁
牧场科学学科产生了创新的科学、数据集、地图和工具,以支持牧场保护和管理,例如本期介绍的那些。然而,科学成果与实地实施保护和管理行动之间始终存在差距,许多管理人员仍然处于 "信息过载 "状态,难以将技术产品融入管理应用。技术转移旨在克服这些障碍,使土地管理者有能力应对土地管理方面的挑战。我们根据技术转移专业人员网络的集体经验,提出了一个基于原则的有效技术转移流程,并以基于威胁的战略保护研讨会为例重点介绍了这一流程。我们描述了技术转让的大部分工作是如何发生在采取任何行动之前的,提供了进行技术转让的最佳实践,并建议了在努力从技术转让工作中学习并使其永久化之后应采取的步骤。我们提供了进行有效技术转让的注意事项和见解,以支持牧场及其他地区的保护和管理。

期刊介绍: Rangeland Ecology & Management publishes all topics-including ecology, management, socioeconomic and policy-pertaining to global rangelands. The journal''s mission is to inform academics, ecosystem managers and policy makers of science-based information to promote sound rangeland stewardship. Author submissions are published in five manuscript categories: original research papers, high-profile forum topics, concept syntheses, as well as research and technical notes. Rangelands represent approximately 50% of the Earth''s land area and provision multiple ecosystem services for large human populations. This expansive and diverse land area functions as coupled human-ecological systems. Knowledge of both social and biophysical system components and their interactions represent the foundation for informed rangeland stewardship. Rangeland Ecology & Management uniquely integrates information from multiple system components to address current and pending challenges confronting global rangelands.
