Legitimizing Fluvial Ecosystems as Users of Water: An Overview 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Naiman RJ Bunn SE Nilsson C Petts GE Pinay G Thompson LC 《Environmental management》2002,30(4):455-467
We suggest that fluvial ecosystems are legitimate users of water and that there are basic ecological principles guiding the
maintenance of long-term ecological vitality. This article articulates some fundamental relationships between physical and
ecological processes, presents basic principles for maintaining the vitality of fluvial ecosystems, identifies several major
scientific challenges and opportunities for effective implementation of the basic ecological principles, and acts as an introduction
to three specific articles to follow on biodiversity, biogeochemistry, and riparian communities. All the objectives, by necessity,
link climate, land, and fresh water. The basic principles proposed are: (1) the natural flow regime shapes the evolution of
aquatic biota and ecological processes, (2) every river has a characteristic flow regime and an associated biotic community,
and (3) aquatic ecosystems are topographically unique in occupying the lowest position in the landscape, thereby integrating
catchment-scale processes. Scientific challenges for the immediate future relate to quantifying cumulative effects, linking
multidisciplinary knowledge and models, and formulating effective monitoring and assessment procedures. Additionally, forecasting
the ecological consequences of changing water regimes is a fundamental challenge for science, especially as environmental
issues related to fresh waters escalate in the next two to three decades. 相似文献

Impact of Criticism of Null-Hypothesis Significance Testing on Statistical Reporting Practices in Conservation Biology 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Abstract: Over the last decade, criticisms of null-hypothesis significance testing have grown dramatically, and several alternative practices, such as confidence intervals, information theoretic, and Bayesian methods, have been advocated. Have these calls for change had an impact on the statistical reporting practices in conservation biology? In 2000 and 2001, 92% of sampled articles in Conservation Biology and Biological Conservation reported results of null-hypothesis tests. In 2005 this figure dropped to 78%. There were corresponding increases in the use of confidence intervals, information theoretic, and Bayesian techniques. Of those articles reporting null-hypothesis testing—which still easily constitute the majority—very few report statistical power (8%) and many misinterpret statistical nonsignificance as evidence for no effect (63%). Overall, results of our survey show some improvements in statistical practice, but further efforts are clearly required to move the discipline toward improved practices. 相似文献
