Cluster biosphere reserves
Three types of cluster biosphere reserves have evolved in the USA: a conservation reserve paired with an experimental reserves(s), multiple sites containing different ecosystems administered as a single unit by a single agency, and multiple sites in a reserve using the name of a biogeographic subregion instead of an administrative unit. The development of a cluster biosphere reserve in the Southern Appalachians, of the first type, is described and analyzed. From this experience, it is suggested that other reserves of this type should have a formal structure for administration and scientific coordination, an effective mechanism for involvement of other regional agencies and organizations, particularly with respect to the management of the buffer or manipulative zone, and a process for public involvement.
