Mechanisms to Improve Integrative Research at the Science-Policy Interface for Sustainable Catchment Management
Greater integration between researchers and policy makers is required to provide an evidence base that is transparent, integrated, and adaptive to support the complexities of sustainable catchment management.Opening-up and closing-down mechanisms are equally important in creating and establishing such an evidence base.We provide examples of Snacks
