摘要：We provide a systematic review of the adaptive comanagement (ACM) literature to (i) investigate how the conceptof governance is considered and (ii) examine what insights ACM offers with reference to six key concerns in environmentalgovernance literature: accountability and legitimacy; actors and roles; fit, interplay, and scale; adaptiveness, flexibility, andlearning; evaluation and monitoring; and, knowledge. Findings from the systematic review uncover a complicated relationshipwith evidence of conceptual closeness as well as relational ambiguities. The findings also reveal several specific contributionsfrom the ACM literature to each of the six key environmental governance concerns, including applied strategies for sharingpower and responsibility and value of systems approaches in understanding problems of fit. More broadly, the research suggestsa dissolving or fuzzy boundary between ACM and governance, with implications for understanding emerging approaches tonavigate social-ecological system change. Future research opportunities may be found at the confluence of ACM andenvironmental governance scholarship, such as identifying ways to build adaptive capacity and encouraging the developmentof more flexible governance arrangements
