Call for Papers: The journal Advances in Ecological Research invites abstract submissions to participate in a special issue titled "Pluralism in Ecosystem Governance." This Special Issue will facilitate an exposition of pluralism in ecosystem governance research, especially as it relates to translational ecology, i.e. linking ecological knowledge to decision-making and action-taking. They take an inclusive approach to interpreting pluralism and will target contributions that view pluralism from different perspectives; for example, diverse perceptions of the nature of ecosystems, diverse types of knowledge about ecosystems and their governance, and diverse values. Articles will highlight benefits and challenges of pluralism in the context of ecosystem governance, synthesizing past studies and literature and including scholars’ own reflections on working with pluralism. Articles will be selected to represent diversity in discipline, geography, region, scale, governance arrangements, and authorship. Questions and abstracts can be directed to Dr. Jen Holzer (jholzer@brocku.ca) by the end of December 2020.
