- Abstract
The emulation of natural disturbance (END) is said to be the most promising avenue for implementing sustainable forest management; however, there appears to be no consensus as to the meaning of the END. We have interviewed forest scientists across Canada and, with the use of mental models and network textual analyses, created a shared mental model of the END. Results from both quantitative and qualitative analyses suggest that there are contrasting and contradictory views about the meaning of the END, which raise serious implications for the use of the END in policy making.
