Managing with logic: A Bayesian Causal Network assessment of forest management in the Monarch Reserve using the critical list

Systematic yet flexible tools for common pool resource management are imperative considering the dynamic nature of local management. The critical list is a means to determine the factors that seem to be present in cases of efficient CPR management. The aim of this study is to evaluate and contrast four sites that represent relatively efficient sustainable common pool forest management. The research design focuses on the systematic analysis of these variables to see how they are in fact relevant to the forest cover change over time.
