[ Palmer, M. 2012. Socioenvironmental sustainability and actionable science. Bioscience 62 (1): 5-6. ] Palmer addresses “actionable science” – science that not only carries policy implications, but also directly addresses policy questions regarding ecosystem management. Actionable science, developed as an interdisciplinary collaboration between natural scientists, social scientists and policymakers, not only helps answer policy questions but also stimulates new and innovative research.
