| Abstract: In this document, the Ecological Society of America proposes the Sustainable Biosphere Initiative (SBI), an initiative that focuses on the necessary role of ecological science in the wise management of Earth`s resources and the maintenance of Earth`s life support systems.^This document is intended as a call to arms for all ecologists, but it will also serve as a means to communicate with individuals in other disciplines with whom ecologists must join forces to address a common predicament.^This document focuses primarily on the acquisition of ecological knowledge.^It identifies the ecological research programs of highest priority and recommends steps required to pursue research objectives.^The document also lays the groundwork for improving the communication and application of ecological knowledge.^The SBI proposes three research priorities: global change; biological diversity; and sustainable ecological systems. |
