Yet, we know little about the degree of interdisciplinary collaboration of natural resource planning teams. We conducted 10 case studies of Forest Service NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) teams working on projects related to the 2005 Travel Management Rule.

We propose three typologies of teamwork processes and discuss relationships between teams' work approaches and process outcomes. Rather than being easily labelled as holistically ‘collaborative’ or ‘non-collaborative’, teams may more typically move in and out of different modes of collaboration (or non-collaboration) throughout the different stages of teamwork processes.
