Abstract Designing and implementing long-term management strategies for chronic biological invasions is amongst the most vexing ecological research problems. Two key challenges to resolving this problem are: (a) integrating science-based and values-based (e.g. spiritual, cultural, economic and ethical) knowledge sources and (b) developing durable knowledge generation and curation platforms to coordinate long-term research efforts. We begin by identifying knowledge sources (stakeholder values, Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-020-02388-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

forecasts of invader spread and impacts, management technologies and operational logistics) to guide the high-level actions (governance framework design, selection of ethical management technologies, definition of long-term objectives, design of management strategies and operational plans implementing strategies) required for management of chronic invasions. We use exotic conifer invasions in New Zealand as an example. Next, we propose a transdisciplinary knowledge ecology framework where each knowledge source is represented by a separate knowledge generation and curation platform (i.e. knowledge ecosystem) and linked through high-level actions. We detail the structure and function of a single knowledge M. Watt Scion, P.O. Box 29237, Fendalton, Christchurch 8041, New Zealand
