Summary: Ecological transformations are persistent shifts in multiple components of an ecosystem that are not easily reversed and they make it increasingly hard to maintain ecosystem conditions based on historical baselines. The RAD (resist, accept, direct) framework offers alternative management approaches in addition to those aimed at maintaining historical conditions, including accepting ecosystem transformations or directing systems towards novel conditions.
